Ntaios, G.; Dziedzic, T.; Michel, P.; Papavasileiou, V.; Petersson, J.; Staykov, D.; Thomas, B.; Steiner, T. (2015)

Background: Hyperthermia is a frequent complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke. On the other hand, therapeutically induced hypothermia has shown promising potential in animal models of focal cerebral ischemia. ...

Pulmonary infection by Rhodococcus equi presenting with positive Ziehl-Neelsen stain in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus: A case report

Spiliopoulou, A.; Assimakopoulos, S. F.; Foka, A.; Kolonitsiou, F.; Lagadinou, M.; Petinaki, E.; Anastassiou, E. D.; Spiliopoulou, I.; Marangos, M. (2014)

Introduction: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus carry a significant risk of contracting opportunistic infections. The worldwide increased incidence of tuberculosis has instituted pulmonary tuberculosis as an ...

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase depletes tryptophan, activates general control non-derepressible 2 kinase and down-regulates key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis in primary human CD4+ T cells

Eleftheriadis, T.; Pissas, G.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Stefanidis, I. (2015)

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen-presenting cells and exerts immunosuppressive effects on CD4+ T cells. One mechanism is through the inhibition of aerobic glycolysis. Another prerequisite for T-cell ...

Primary screening for cervical cancer based on high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotyping, in comparison to cytology

Agorastos, T.; Chatzistamatiou, K.; Katsamagkas, T.; Koliopoulos, G.; Daponte, A.; Constantinidis, T.; Constantinidis, T. C. (2015)

Objectives The objective of the present study is to assess the performance of a high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA test with individual HPV-16/HPV-18 genotyping as a method for primary cervical cancer screening ...

Passive strain-induced matrix synthesis and organization in shape-specific, cartilaginous neotissues

MacBarb, R. F.; Paschos, N. K.; Abeug, R.; Makris, E. A.; Hu, J. C.; Athanasiou, K. A. (2014)

Tissue-engineered musculoskeletal soft tissues typically lack the appropriate mechanical robustness of their native counterparts, hindering their clinical applicability. With structure and function being intimately linked, ...

Autoantibodies to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) in patients with autoimmune liver diseases

Villalta, D.; Mytilinaiou, M. G.; Elsner, M.; Hentschel, C.; Cuccato, J.; Somma, V.; Schierack, P.; Roggenbuck, D.; Bogdanos, D. P. (2015)

Background: The liver asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is the only organ-specific autoantigenic target in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients and corresponding autoantibodies (Abs) have been suggested aiding in the ...

What has happened to suicides during the Greek economic crisis? Findings from an ecological study of suicides and their determinants (2003-2012)

Rachiotis, G.; Stuckler, D.; McKee, M.; Hadjichristodoulou, C. (2015)

Objectives: There is a controversy about the impact of economic crisis on suicide rates in Greece. We analysed recent suicide data to identify who has been most affected and the relationships to economic and labour market ...
