Preferences of students with general learning difficulties for different service delivery modes
(2006)
This study was designed to elicit the views and preferences of primary education students' with general learning difficulties concerning different service delivery modes. The main areas to be investigated were: (a) their ...
Convergence of linkage, gene expression and association data demonstrates the influence of the RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) gene on neovascular AMD: A systems biology based approach
(2010)
To identify novel genes and pathways associated with AMD, we performed microarray gene expression and linkage analysis which implicated the candidate gene, retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA, 15q). ...
Thymidine phosphorylase expression in normal and hyperplastic endometrium
(2000)
Aims - To investigate the expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), a known angiogenic factor for endothelial cells, in normally cycling endometrium and various forms of endometrial hyperplasia. Methods - TP expression ...
Inhibition of mRNA deadenylation by the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC)
(2006)
Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is a cap-interacting and poly(A)-specific 3′-exoribonuclease. Here we have investigated how the cap binding complex (CBC) affects human PARN activity. We showed that CBC, via its 80-kDa ...
Developing pilot befriending schemes for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders in a region of Greece: Lessons from practice
(2007)
Befriending represents an expanding resource for the social support of vulnerable people in the community. This article discusses the development of two pilot befriending schemes for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders ...
Systemic sclerosis: From pathogenesis towards targeted immunotherapies
(2012)
Systemic sclerosis (SSc), a chronic disease with widespread collagen deposition, has three pathogenetic facets: immune activation, microvasculopathy and fibroblast activation. Immune activation and microvasculopathy occur ...
The risk of lymphoma development in autoimmune diseases: A meta-analysis
(2005)
Background: The risk of development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in autoimmune patients has been investigated in several cohort studies. These studies revealed inconclusive results. To shed some light on this controversy, ...
Transferrin receptor-1 and 2 expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(2006)
Transferrin receptor (TfR)-1 and 2 mRNA and CD71 (TfR1) expression was analyzed in 118 CLL patients. Ninety-five out of 109 analyzed cases expressed CD71, mostly at a high level; 60% of CD71 (+) cases were IGH-mutated. All ...
Immunoglobulin D myeloma: Clinical features and outcome in the era of novel agents
(2014)
Objectives: Immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma is an uncommon variant of the disease probably associated with poorer prognosis. However, data on IgD myeloma patients treated in the novel agent era are lacking. Methods: ...
