Use of real-time PCR to detect human papillomavirus-16 viral loads in vaginal and urine self-sampled specimens

Daponte, A.; Tsezou, A.; Oikonomou, P.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Maniatis, A. N.; Pournaras, S.; Messinis, I. E. (2008)

Increasing the accuracy of self-sampling methods to detect oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection would contribute to the wider application of these approaches. In this study, 120 women were tested for HPV-16 by ...

Applicability of self-obtained urine and vaginal samples for HPV-16,-18,-31 and-45 cervical cancer screening in pregnancy: a pilot cross-sectional study

Mantzana, P.; Pournaras, S.; Skentou, C.; Deligeoroglou, E.; Katsioulis, A.; Antonakopoulos, G.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Tsakris, A.; Messinis, I. E.; Daponte, A. (2014)

Aim:To conduct a pilot cross-sectional study to evaluate the rates of detection of four common high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) types using first-void urine paired with vaginal self-obtained samples in a nonvaccinated population of ...

Angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2 as serum biomarkers for ectopic pregnancy and missed abortion A case-control study

Daponte, A.; Deligeoroglou, E.; Pournaras, S.; Tsezou, A.; Garas, A.; Anastasiadou, F.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Messinis, I. E. (2013)

Background: A case-control study to evaluate whether a single serum measurement of angiopoietin-1 (ANG-1) and angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2) at 6-8 weeks gestation can differentiate failed pregnancies, whether ectopic pregnancies ...

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) and Anti-C1q Antibodies as Serum Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion

Daponte, A.; Deligeoroglou, E.; Pournaras, S.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Garas, A.; Anastasiadou, F.; Messinis, I. E. (2013)

Given the present lack of clinically useful tests for the accurate diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (EP), there is a need to select out those immunological factors measured in the maternal serum, as potential biomarkers. Our ...

Activin A and Follistatin as Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion

Daponte, A.; Deligeoroglou, E.; Garas, A.; Pournaras, S.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Messinis, I. E. (2013)

Activin A as a predictor of pregnancy failure has been the focus of heated debate, but the value of a combined activin A and follistatin (FS) measurement in serum to predict pregnancy failure has not been reported yet. We ...
