Pulmonary infection by Rhodococcus equi presenting with positive Ziehl-Neelsen stain in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus: A case report
(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 ...
Passive strain-induced matrix synthesis and organization in shape-specific, cartilaginous neotissues
(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, ...
Plasma homocysteine and genetic variants of homocysteine metabolism enzymes in patients from central greece with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
(2014)
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate plasma homocysteine levels and polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes in the metabolic pathway of homocysteine in association with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) ...
European surveillance network for influenza in pigs: Surveillance programs, diagnostic tools and swine influenza virus subtypes identified in 14 European countries from 2010 to 2013
(2014)
Swine influenza causes concern for global veterinary and public health officials. In continuing two previous networks that initiated the surveillance of swine influenza viruses (SIVs) circulating in European pigs between ...
The role of genetic polymorphisms of the Renin-Angiotensin System in renal diseases: A meta-analysis
(2014)
Renal failure has a complex phenotype resulting from an underlying kidney disease as well as environmental and genetic factors. In the present study we performed a systematic review and meta-analyses to evaluate the ...
Telemetric detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and investigation of quality of life for people working in shipbuilding industry
(2014)
Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has a significant impact on quality of life-related health. Aim: It was the detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by using telemetric methods and the ...
Municipal waste collectors and hepatitis b and c virus infection: A cross-sectional study
(2014)
There is some evidence that municipal waste collectors are at risk of Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV). Published information on risk of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection among waste collectors is scant. We aimed to ...
microTSS: Accurate microRNA transcription start site identification reveals a significant number of divergent pri-miRNAs
(2014)
A large fraction of microRNAs (miRNAs) are derived from intergenic non-coding loci and the identification of their promoters remains 'elusive'. Here, we present microTSS, a machine-learning algorithm that provides highly ...
The hygiene hypothesis and evolutionary medicine
(2014)
The hygiene hypothesis is an explanatory model for increases in the incidence of chronic inflammatory disorders which have become much more prevalent in developed countries during recent last decades. Accumulating evidence ...
Hypospadias in offspring is associated with chronic exposure of parents to organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides
(2014)
We have currently evaluated the possible association between hypospadias and exposure to organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides. For this purpose, we measured the dialkyl phosphate metabolites of ...
