Association Between Level of Hepatitis D Virus RNA at Week 24 of Pegylated Interferon Therapy and Outcome
(2015)Background & Aims: Interferon is the only effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection. No rules have been set for stopping treatment based on viral kinetics. We analyzed data from an international ... -
Association of FCGR2A with the response to infliximab treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2014)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A H131R, for association with the treatment response to Fc-containing inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS: A total of 429 biologic-naive ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type-2 and Epstein-Barr virus infection in a toddler: Art of facts or an artifact?
(2013)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause frequently asymptomatic (or anicteric) and self-limited hepatitis, while occasionally may result in considerable cholestatic hepatitis. Herein, we describe the case of a previously healthy ... -
The autophagic response to oxidative stress in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is deregulated
(2018)It has been reported that oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) and that defective autophagy is accompanying this age-related disease. Moreover, it has been proposed that induction ... -
Beneficial changes in energy expenditure and lipid profile after eccentric exercise in overweight and lean women
(2010)The aim was to compare lean and overweight females in regard to the effects of eccentric exercise on muscle damage indices, resting energy expenditure (REE) and respiratory quotient (RQ) as well as blood lipid and lipoprotein ... -
Benign pleural mesothelial cells have higher osmotic water permeability than malignant pleural mesothelioma cells and differentially respond to hyperosmolality
(2019)Background/Aims: Cell volume regulation is a critical mechanism for cell homeostasis and depends on the osmotic water permeability (Pf) of the cell plasma membrane. The Pf of human mesothelial cells is unknown although ... -
Bing–Neel syndrome presenting with bilateral lumbar radiculopathy: A case report of a rare clinical entity [Síndrome de Bing-Neel que se presenta con radiculopatía lumbar bilateral: reporte de caso de una entidad clínica rara]
(2022)The differential diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity weakness is broad. We present a very rare case of a 48-year old male patient, with walking difficulties due to Bing–Neel syndrome. On clinical examination, there was ... -
Biomarkers of vascular calcification in serum
(2020)Over the last decades, the association between vascular calcification (VC) and all-cause/cardiovascular mortality, especially in patients with high atherogenic status, such as those with diabetes and/or chronic kidney ... -
Bone metastasis classification using whole body images from prostate cancer patients based on convolutional neural networks application
(2020)Bone metastasis is one of the most frequent diseases in prostate cancer; scintigraphy imaging is particularly important for the clinical diagnosis of bone metastasis. Up to date, minimal research has been conducted regarding ... -
Brain volume dynamics in multiple sclerosis. A case-control study
(2019)Objectives: In this study, we aimed to explore the extent and clinical relevance of brain volume dynamics in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: Sixty-three patients with RRMS with a disease duration ... -
BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline testing in Cretan isolates reveals novel and strong founder effects
(2020)Germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 loss-of-function variants have been linked to increased breast and ovarian cancer risk, with more than 5,000 distinct pathogenic variants being reported worldwide. Among individuals of Greek descent, ... -
Breast Cancer Classification on Multiparametric MRI – Increased Performance of Boosting Ensemble Methods
(2022)Introduction: This study aims to assess the utility of Boosting ensemble classification methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) radiomic models, in differentiating ... -
Brentuximab vedotin in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. The Hellenic experience
(2018)This retrospective study aimed to describe the Hellenic experience on the use of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) given within its indication. From June 2011 to April 2015, ... -
Cadherin and Wnt signaling pathways as key regulators in diabetic nephropathy
(2021)Aim A recent meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage studies (GWLS) has identified multiple genetic regions suggestive of linkage with DN harboring hundreds of genes. Moving this number of genetic loci forward into biological ... -

(2017)Purpose: Τo investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic role of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) serum levels in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: One hundred ... -
Cardiotoxicity in rabbits after long-term nandrolone decanoate administration
(2016)Abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids is linked to a variety of cardiovascular complications. The aim of our study was to investigate the possible cardiovascular effects of nandrolone decanoate on young rabbits using ... -
Carotid artery plaque echomorphology and its association with histopathologic characteristics
(2018)Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the association of ultrasonic texture features (severity of stenosis, grey scale median, plaque area, juxtaluminal black area [JBA], and discrete white areas) previously ... -
Carotid Bifurcation Geometry and Atherosclerosis
(2017)Hemodynamic changes occurring at the initial segments of the arterial bifurcations appear to play an important role in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. Therefore, arterial geometry might be a potential marker for ... -
