      Vardavas, C. I.; Agaku, I.; Patelarou, E.; Anagnostopoulos, N.; Nakou, C.; Dramba, V.; Giourgouli, G.; Argyropoulou, P.; Antoniadis, A.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Ourda, D.; Lazuras, L.; Bertic, M.; Lionis, C.; Connolly, G.; Behrakis, P. (2013)
      Introduction:Successful smoke-free legislation is dependent on political will, enforcement and societal support. We report the success and pitfalls of a non-enforced nationwide smoke-free legislation in Greece, as well as ...
    • Control of representative turned surface textures 

      Petropoulos, G. P.; Vaxevanidis, N. M.; Pandazaras, C. N.; Antoniadis, A. (2004)
      A method for characterizing machined surface textures corresponding to varying cutting conditions, which lead to differing profile shapes, is presented here. Through a proper multi-parameter analysis carried out on turned ...
    • Five-Year Trends of Second-Hand Smoke Exposure in Greece: A Comparison Between Complete, Partial, and Prelegislation Levels 

      Vardavas, C. I.; Anagnostopoulos, N.; Patelarou, E.; Minas, M.; Nakou, C.; Dramba, V.; Giourgouli, G.; Bagkeris, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Pattaka, P.; Antoniadis, A.; Lionis, C.; Bertic, M.; Dockery, D.; Connolly, G. N.; Behrakis, P. K. (2012)
      Background: Our aim was to assess second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure in hospitality venues after the smoke-free legislation implemented in September 2010 in Greece and to compare with when a partial ban was in place and in ...
    • Increasing prevalence of high-level gentamicin resistance among enterococci isolated in Greece 

      Tsakris, A.; Pournaras, S.; Maniatis, A. N.; Douboyas, J.; Antoniadis, A. (2001)
      High-level gentamicin-resistant enterococci (HLGRE) (MIC >512 mug/ml) were frequently recovered in the AHEPA University Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece, during a 15-month period (67/158, 42.4%). PCR testing showed that ...
    • Multi-parameter identification and control of turned surface textures 

      Petropoulos, G. P.; Pandazaras, C. N.; Vaxevanidis, N. M.; Antoniadis, A. (2006)
      A method for characterizing turned surface textures corresponding to varying cutting variables leading to differing profile shape is presented with emphasis on a global view of turning machinability parameters. Through a ...
    • Pneumonia caused by Candida krusei and Candida glabrata in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia receiving imatinib mesylate treatment
