ACOS syndrome: Single disease entity or not? Could exhaled nitric oxide be a useful biomarker for the differentiation of ACOS, asthma and COPD?
(2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent two major public health problems. However, there is a significant proportion of patients with a mixed asthma-COPD phenotype. This condition is defined as ... -
Advanced Non-linear Mathematical Model for the Prediction of the Activity of a Putative Anticancer Agent in Human-to-mouse Cancer Xenografts
(2020)Background/Aim: Mathematical models have long been considered as important tools in cancer biology and therapy. Herein, we present an advanced non-linear mathematical model that can predict accurately the effect of an ... -
Chronic l-menthol-induced browning of white adipose tissue hypothesis: A putative therapeutic regime for combating obesity and improving metabolic health
(2016)Introduction: Obesity constitutes a serious global health concern reaching pandemic prevalence rates. The existence of functional brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans has provoked intense research interest in the ... -
Clinical validation of the LKB model and parameter sets for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2006)The choice of the appropriate model and parameter set in determining the relation between the incidence of radiation pneumonitis and dose distribution in the lung is of great importance, especially in the case of breast ... -
Cost Effectiveness of Exenatide Once Weekly Versus Insulin Glargine and Liraglutide for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Greece
(2018)Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term cost effectiveness of exenatide once weekly (ExQW) versus insulin glargine (IG) or liraglutide 1.2 mg (Lira1.2mg) for the treatment of adult patients ... -
Drones for Automated External Defibrillator Delivery: Where Do We Stand?
(2020)Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an important cause of mortality and disability worldwide. The health care community hoped that, with the development of the automated external defibrillator (AED), the ... -
Health impacts due to particulate air pollution in Volos City, Greece
(2016)There is great consensus among the scientific community that suspended particulate matter is considered as one of the most harmful pollutants, particularly the inhalable particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less ... -
Host – virus – drug interactions as determinants of COVID-19’s phenotypes: A data-driven hypothesis
(2020)There is a growing body of evidence on the significance of interactions between comorbidities, their treatments and COVID-19 clinical phenotypes. The hypothesis explored herein is that pharmaceutical compounds currently ... -
Human thermophysiological models: Quantification of uncertainty in the output quantities of the passive system due to uncertainties in the control equations of the active system via the Monte Carlo method
(2021)Uncertainty propagation analysis in the Fiala thermophysiological model is performed by the Monte Carlo Method. The uncertainties of the output quantities of the passive system, due to imported uncertainties in the ... -
The impact of economic growth on environmental efficiency of the electricity sector: A hybrid window DEA methodology for the USA
(2018)This paper estimates the efficiency of the power generation sector in the USA by using Window Data Envelopment Analysis (W-DEA). We integrate radial and non-radial efficiency measurements in DEA using the hybrid measure ... -
Impairment in selenocysteine synthesis as a candidate mechanism of inducible coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients
(2021)Coagulopathy has recently been recognized as a recurring complication of COVID-19, most typically associated with critical illness. There are epidemiological, mechanistic and transcriptomic evidence that link Selenium with ... -
Mapping european welfare models: State of the art of strategies for professional integration and reintegration of persons with chronic diseases
(2018)Background: Persons with chronic diseases (PwCDs) often experience work-related problems, and innovative actions to improve their participation in the labor market are needed. In the frame of the European (EU) Pathways ... -
Measurement and modeling of microbial growth using timelapse video
(2020)The development of timelapse videos for the investigation of growing microbial colonies has gained increasing interest due to its low cost and complexity implementation. In the present study, a simple experimental setup ... -
