Changes of meniscal interhorn distances: An in vivo magnetic resonance imaging study
(2005)The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of the internal (IID) and external meniscal interhorn distance (EID) of the medial and the lateral meniscus under loading. Sagittal magnetic resonance images of 15 knees ... -
Characterization of In Vitro Expanded Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Mice
(2013)Extensive experimental studies indicate that autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are able to ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and potentially multiple sclerosis. However, the ... -
Fast sequences MR imaging at the investigation of painful skeletal sites in patients with hip osteonecrosis
(2015)Background: Multiple osteonecrotic foci can be clinically silent when located in metaphyses and becomes painful when it affects juxta-articular areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of fast MR imaging ... -
Free vascularized fibular grafts for reconstruction of skeletal defects
(2004)Nourished by the peroneal vessels, the versatile free vascularized fibular graft can be transferred to reconstruct skeletal defects of the extremities. It may be combined with skin, fascia, muscle, and growth-plate tissue ... -
Genetic correction of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease with novel foamy virus vectors
(2011)Objective. The X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) results from mutations in the CYBB gene encoding gp91(phox), the larger subunit of the oxidase flavocytochrome b(558). Affected individuals suffer from ... -
Genetic variation associated with ischemic heart failure: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
(2007)The ischemic etiology of heart failure is an independent prognostic factor associated with worse long-term outcome. Recent evidence indicates a role for genetic susceptibility to ischemic heart failure. The authors ... -
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 ... -
Historical Overview of Venous Valve Prostheses for the Treatment of Deep Venous Valve Insufficiency
(2012)Almost 3% of people in the Western world will suffer from a venous disease at some time in their lives, but as yet there are very few effective treatments for the venous system. When the valves become incompetent, they ... -
An insight into short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support systems
(2015)Cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction, postcardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery, or manifestation of heart failure remains a clinical challenge with high mortality rates, despite ongoing advances ... -
Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms and their association with methotrexate toxicity: a meta-analysis
(2012)Objective A systematic review and a meta-analysis were conducted, to investigate the possible association of methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphisms with adverse effects related to methotrexate ... -
Organ Donation Knowledge and Attitudes among Health Science Students in Greece: Emerging Interprofessional Needs
(2014)Background: The impact of presumed consent on donation rates has been widely debated. In June 2013 Greece adopted a 'soft' presumed consent law for organ and tissue donation, where relatives' approval is sought prior to ... -
Safety and efficacy of lamivudine in patients with severe acute or fulminant hepatitis B, a multicenter experience
(2006)Acute hepatitis B progresses to liver failure with the need of liver transplantation in about 1% of cases. We treated patients with severe acute or fulminant hepatitis B with lamivudine in an attempt to prevent hepatitis ... -
Topographic Variations in Biomechanical and Biochemical Properties in the Ankle Joint: An In Vitro Bovine Study Evaluating Native and Engineered Cartilage
(2014)Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify differences in the biomechanical and biochemical properties among the articulating surfaces of the ankle joint and to evaluate the functional and biological properties ... -
Tracheal Replacement With Cryopreserved Allogenic Aorta
(2010)Background: Radical resection of primary tracheal tumors may be challenging when more than one-half of the tracheal length is concerned. The present study evaluated the use of cryopreserved aortic allografts (CAAs) to ... -
Treatment with bortezomib-based regimens improves overall response and predicts for survival in patients with primary or secondary plasma cell leukemia: Analysis of the Greek myeloma study group
(2014)Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive plasma cell disorder, with poor outcome. Bortezomib-based regimens (BBR) are highly effective in myeloma, but there is limited information about their efficacy and safety ...
