Effects of an Environmental Education Course on Consensus Estimates for Proenvironmental Intentions
(2012)An environmental education intervention in a university conservation-related course was designed to decrease students' errors in consensus estimates for proenvironmental intentions, that is, their errors in guessing their ... -
Effects of walking on heart rate recovery, endothelium modulators and quality of life in patients with heart failure
(2011)Background: Few studies have addressed the impact of moderate unsupervised everyday physical activity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Design: We investigated the effects of a 12-week walking programme as the ... -
Estimating the mode of inheritance in genetic association studies of qualitative traits based on the degree of dominance index
(2011)Background: The biological justification for the choice of the genetic mode in genetic association studies (GAS) is seldom available. Then, the mode of inheritance is approximated by investigating a number of non-orthogonal ... -
Evaluating the role of Mediterranean diet and eating behaviors on the likelihood of having a non-fatal acute coronary syndrome, under the context of stress perception: a case-control study
(2014)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Mediterranean diet and perceived stress have long been associated with the likelihood of having an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the Mediterranean diet ... -
Evaluation of the Bone Bridge Between the Bone Tunnels After Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction A Multidetector Computed Tomography Study
(2010)Background: Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a technically demanding procedure; it requires drilling 2 tibial and 2 femoral tunnels. Tunnel communication, whether intraoperative or postoperative, ... -
Evidence of Association Between Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene and Susceptibility to Breast Cancer: A Candidate-Gene Association Study in a South-Eastern European Population
(2012)The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been proposed as a candidate gene for breast cancer (BC). However, the specific role of MTHFR polymorphisms and haplotypes has not been fully clarified and replicated. ... -
Field Synopsis and Synthesis of Genetic Association Studies in Osteoarthritis: The CUMAGAS-OSTEO Information System
(2010)A comprehensive and systematic assessment of the current status of genetic association studies (GAS) for osteoarthntis was conducted. Data from 327 GAS involving 187 distinct genetic variants were analyzed and cataloged ... -
Genome-wide scans meta-analysis for pulse pressure
(2007)Genome scans for identifying susceptibility loci for pulse pressure have produced inconclusive results. A heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis was applied to available genome-scan data on pulse pressure. A genome ... -
Genomic Convergence of Genome-wide Investigations for Complex Traits
(2009)Genome-wide investigations for identifying the genes for complex traits are considered to be agnostic in terms of prior assumptions for the responsible DNA alterations. The agreement of genome-wide association studies ... -
Geographic variations of human papilloma virus infection and their possible impact on the effectiveness of the vaccination programme
(2008)Greece is one of the first countries of the European Union to introduce a human. papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine in its national vaccination programme. Geographical variations in the prevalence of the different HPV types ... -
Glycemic Response of a Carbohydrate-Protein Bar with Ewe-Goat Whey
(2014)In this study we examined the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of a functional food product, which contains ewe-goat whey protein and carbohydrates in a 1: 1 ratio. Nine healthy volunteers, (age, 23.3 +/- 3.9 ... -
Habib EndoHPB: A Novel Endobiliary Radiofrequency Ablation Device. An Experimental Study
(2013)Background: The Habib EndoHPB is a bipolar radiofrequency (RF) catheter developed to be introduced across malignant strictures of the bile ducts, so that RF energy can locally ablate the tumor prior to stent placement. ... -
Heterogeneity testing in meta-analysis of genome searches
(2005)Genome searches for identifying susceptibility loci for the same complex disease often give inconclusive or inconsistent results. Genome Search Meta-analysis (GSMA) is an established non-parametric method to identify genetic ... -
A heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis for autism-spectrum disorders
(2006)Autism and autism-spectrum disorders exhibit high heritability, although specific susceptibility genes still remain largely elusive. We performed a heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis (HEGESMA) of nine genome ... -
Heterogeneity-based genome search meta-analysis for preeclampsia
(2006)Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disorder that causes maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Its exact inheritance pattern is still unknown, and genome searches for identifying susceptibility loci for preeclampsia ... -
Improving the Prediction of Spontaneous and Post-thrombolytic Recanalization in Ischemic Stroke Patients
(2015)Background: Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients was recently shown to improve recanalization rates and clinical outcome in a well-defined study population. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) alone is ... -
Inhibin alpha gene and susceptibility to premature ovarian failure: a data synthesis
(2009)Candidate-gene association studies that examined the association between polymorphisms of the inhibin alpha gene (G769A, C16T and A124G) and premature ovarian failure (POF) have reported contradictory results. Thus, a ... -
Interleukin-27 improves the ability of adenosine deaminase to rule out tuberculous pleural effusion regardless of pleural tuberculosis prevalence
(2015)Background: Interleukin-27 (IL-27) has been proposed to be useful for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE). Adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been long used for the same purpose. The aim of this study was to compare ... -
