Delineation and interpretation of gene networks towards their effect in cellular physiology- a reverse engineering approach for the identification of critical molecular players, through the use of ontologies
(2010)Exploiting ontologies, provides clues regarding the involvement of certain molecular processes in the cellular phenotypic manifestation. However, identifying individual molecular actors (genes, proteins, etc.) for targeted ... -
Design and implementation of a hybrid model based on two-layer decomposition method coupled with extreme learning machines to support real-time environmental monitoring of water quality parameters
(2019)Accurate prediction of water quality parameters plays a crucial and decisive role in environmental monitoring, ecological systems sustainability, human health, aquaculture and improved agricultural practices. In this study ... -
Design, Rationale, Methodology, and Aims of a Greek Prospective Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Registry: Investigating Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Greece (INDULGE IPF)
(2018)Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown origin. Despite the fact that the guidelines on the diagnosis and management of the disease were updated in 2015, ... -

Discursive Methodologies for Couple and Family Therapy Research: Editorial to Special Section
(2018)In this article, we aim to introduce the special JMFT section on discursive research methodologies for couple and family therapy research. These are qualitative research methodologies which resonate with the systemic ... -
Dose-response effects of high-intensity interval neuromuscular exercise training on weight loss, performance, health and quality of life in inactive obese adults: Study rationale, design and methods of the DoIT trial
(2019)Obesity is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates and low levels of quality of life among adults globally. It is critical to examine evidence-based practices for developing lifestyle behavioral changes such as ... -
Effect of fatigue on tibial rotation after single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A 3-dimensional kinematic and kinetic matched-group analysis
(2012)Background: Fatigue is an extrinsic factor adversely affecting joint proprioception and neuromuscular response, thereby increasing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and injury risk. The effectiveness of the single- ... -
The effect of N-acetylcysteine on bipolar depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(2021)Rationale: The current pharmacotherapy of bipolar depression often presents limited efficacy and increased risk for adverse events. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been suggested as potentially effective and well-tolerated ... -
Effect of single dose irradiation on human glioblastoma spheroids in vitro
(2004)Investigation of the predictive value of a radiosurgery-relevant treatment of glioblastoma spheroids. Organotypic multicellular spheroids were cultured and irradiated (20 Gy). Morphology, apoptosis and immunohistochemical ... -
The effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in common lower limb conditions: a systematic review including quantification of patient-rated pain reduction
(2018)Objective To evaluate extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in treating Achilles tendinopathy (AT), greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), patellar tendinopathy (PT) and proximal ... -
Efficient liver gene transfer with foamy virus vectors
(2013)Liver gene transfer offers hope for the correction of genetic and acquired disorders. Efficient gene transfer in large animals can be obtained with hydrodynamic gene transfer (HGT), a method that can achieve sufficient ... -
Efforts to create an artificial testis: Culture systems of male germ cells under biochemical conditions resembling the seminiferous tubular biochemical environment
(2005)Induction of meiotic and post-meiotic alterations of male germ cells in vitro has been the target of several research efforts since 1960. However, to date, the establishment of an ideal culture system in which spermatogonial ... -
Enhancement of the transmesothelial resistance of the parietal sheep peritoneum by epinephrine in vitro: Ussing-type chamber experiments
(2005)The peritoneal mesothelium constitutes an ion transport barrier that is taken advantage of in peritoneal dialysis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of epinephrine on the electrical transmesothelial ... -
Finite element modeling to expand the UMCCA model to describe biofilm mechanical behavior
(2005)In order to understand the influence of biofilm's physical and microbiological structures on its mechanical behavior, a finite element model that describes the structural mechanics of a composite solid is linked to the ... -
