Application of a new oxidation-reduction potential assessment method in strenuous exercise-induced oxidative stress
(2015)Objectives: The aim of the study was to test a novel method for assessing oxidative stress, the RedoxSYS (TM) diagnostic system, a holistic, fast, minimally invasive, and requiring small sample volume method, that measures ... -
Assessment of Eccentric Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress Using Oxidation-Reduction Potential Markers
(2015)The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of static (sORP) and capacity ORP (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers as measured by the RedoxSYS Diagnostic System in plasma, for assessing eccentric ... -
Autologous infusion of expanded mobilized adult bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells into patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis
(2008)OBJECTIVES: Recent advances in regenerative medicine, including hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, have brought hope for patients with severe alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC). The aim of this study was to assess ... -
Cell-free plasma DNA as a novel marker of aseptic inflammation severity related to exercise overtraining
(2006)Background: Circulating free plasma DNA is implicated in conditions associated with tissue injury, including exercise-induced inflammation, and thus is a potential marker for athletic overtraining. Methods: We measured ... -
Characteristics of non-cerebral coenurosis in tropical goats
(2015)The epidemiological, clinical, and biochemical profile of non-cerebral coenurosis in goats and the morphological characteristics of the responsible metacestodes (cysts) were examined in a cross-sectional survey of slaughtered ... -
Comparison of the phospholipid and triacylglycerol fatty acid profile of rat serum, skeletal muscle and heart
(2006)Although several studies have analyzed the fatty acid profile of phospholipids (PL) and, to a lesser degree, triacylglycerols (TG) in one or more tissues concurrently, a systematic comparison of the fatty acid composition ... -
Current clinical, laboratory, and treatment outcome characteristics of visceral leishmaniasis: results from a seven-year retrospective study in Greece
(2015)Objectives: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is re-emerging in endemic areas. The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and treatment outcome characteristics in a large cohort of VL patients is described herein. Methods: The ... -
Effect of a special carbohydrate-protein bar and tomato juice supplementation on oxidative stress markers and vascular endothelial dynamics in ultra-marathon runners
(2014)It is well established that exercise induces excessive production of reactive species leading to oxidative stress, which has been implicated in oxidative damage of macromolecules, immune dysfunction, muscle damage and ... -
Efficacy of rifampicin in the treatment of experimental acute canine monocytic ehrlichiosis
(2013)To assess the efficacy of rifampicin in achieving clinical and haematological recovery and clearing infection in dogs with experimentally induced acute monocytic ehrlichiosis. Five Ehrlichia canis-infected Beagle dogs were ... -
Evaluation of a serum-based PCR assay for the diagnosis of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis
(2009)The aim of this study was to estimate the relative diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in the serum of dogs with naturally occurring non-myelosuppressive canine monocytic ... -
Evaluation of an anti-PBP 2a slide latex agglutination test in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated in Greek hospitals
(2002)Oxacillin resistance was examined in 258 coagulase-negative staphylococci from Greek hospitals. mecA DNA was detected in 168 isolates, which were also resistant to oxacillin by agar dilution and disk diffusion, according ... -
Evaluation of lymph node and bone marrow cytology in the diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis (Leishmania infantum) in symptomatic and asymptomatic
(2005)The sensitivity and specificity of lymph node and bone marrow smear microscopy for the diagnosis of Leishmania infantum-infected dogs was evaluated in 79 dogs with leishmaniasis (Group A), 52 asymptomatically infected dos ... -
Hemopoietic progenitor cells and bone marrow stromal cells in patients with autoimmune hepatitis type 1 and primary biliary cirrhosis
(2003)Background/Aims: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been used in severe cases of autoimmunity. We investigated whether hemopoietic progenitor cells and/or bone marrow (BM) microenvironment are affected ... -
Impact of HIV Type 1 DNA Levels on Spontaneous Disease Progression: A Meta-Analysis
(2012)Several studies have reported the prognostic strength of HIV-1 DNA with variable results however. The aims of the current study were to estimate more accurately the ability of HIV-1 DNA to predict progression of HIV-1 ... -
Mechanisms of Disease: the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis
(2006)Systemic sclerosis is characterized by extensive fibrosis, microvascular stenosis and autoantibody production. All three characteristics can be accounted for by activation of cells of the immune system. Activation of T ... -
Molecular identification of Bartonella species in dogs with leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum) with or without cytological evidence of arthritis
(2014)Recent evidence suggest that Bartonella species may cause polyarthritis and lameness in dogs. Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum is a multi-systemic disease often occurring in association with arthritis. ... -
Oxidative Stress and Reduced Antioxidative Status, along with Endothelial Dysfunction in Acromegaly
(2013)Acromegaly is characterized by high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are underlying mechanisms of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood redox ... -
Oxidative stress in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2013)We aimed to investigate whether systemic oxidative stress is increased in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). A total of 18 patients with severe OSAS and 13 controls were included in the study. Inclusion ... -
Passive smoking reduces and vitamin C increases exercise-induced oxidative stress: Does this make passive smoking an anti-oxidant and vitamin C a pro-oxidant stimulus?
(2014)The current interpretative framework states that, for a certain experimental treatment (usually a chemical substance) to be classified as "anti-oxidant", it must possess the property of reducing (or even nullifying) ... -
