Abstract Objectives The general perception is that menstrual cycle a factor related to body weight and composition fluctuations in women. lack of standardized methodology the so far conducted studies has led controversial results. aim current study identify if there are any changes during cycle. Methods In measurements weight, circumferences, skinfolds with bioelectrical impedance analysis were twice per week 42 women their Results Body was found be statistically significantly higher...
Objective To validate anthropometric equations in the current literature predicting body fat percentage (%BF) Greek population, to develop and two estimating %BF, compare them with retrieved equations. Methods Anthropometric data from 642 adults were incorporated. Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry was used as reference method. The comparison other made using Bland‐Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficient, Lin's concordance coefficient. Results Nine of thirty‐one had no...
Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is an autosomal recessive, neurovisceral, lysosomal storage disorder with protean and progressive clinical manifestations, resulting from mutations in either of the two genes, NPC1 (~95% families) NPC2. Contrary to other populations, published evidence regarding NPC Greece sparse. The study population consisted Greek patients their extended pedigree. Patients' clinical, biochemical, molecular profiles possible correlations are presented. Genotyping was...
Background and aimsThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether underreporting dietary intake is associated with individual physical lifestyle parameters, body image perception.MethodsDietary assessed using 24h recalls in 490 individuals. Underreporters were compared normal reporters regarding age, fat, years education, number cigarettes, activity level (PAL) self-belief, wish minus belief according Stunkard Figure Rating Scale (FRS). Odds ratio relation negative perception...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> We analyzed the vitamin D receptor <i>(VDR)</i> gene in 2 Greek patients who exhibited classical features of hereditary D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) type II, including severe bone deformities and alopecia. also describe clinical phenotypes response to treatment our patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples both Coding region flanking introns...
Treatment of children with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and particularly those coexistent diabetes mellitus type 1 (TIDM) normal/mildly elevated serum TSH is controversial. The aim the study was to evaluate natural course HT in TIDM compared no other autoimmunity investigate for possible predictive factors thyroid function deterioration.Data from 96 HT, 32 T1DM (23 girls, nine boys) mean (sd) age: 10.6 (2.3) years, 64 age sex-matched without T1DΜ (46 18 boys), 10.2 (2.9) years were evaluated...
Introduction: Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenopathy (PFAPA) syndrome is a non Mendelian autoinflammatory disorder until now considered to be specifically limited paediatric age.However there recently mounting evidence that children older than 5 years adults may present with the typical picture of PFAPA syndrome.Objectives: We report case 17,5 old girl presenting recurrent episodes fever starting at age 16.Methods: A was referred our department due lasting...
Abstract Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by clinical and genetic heterogeneity. It belongs to a wider group of pathologies, Rasopathies, due the implication mutations in genes encoding components Ras/MAPK signalling pathway. Recording alterations across populations helps assessing specific features which essential for better disease’s recognition, prognosis monitoring. Herein, we report molecular data Greek cohort comprising 86 NS or NS-like patients...

Abstract Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by clinical and genetic heterogeneity. It belongs to a wider group of pathologies, Rasopathies, due the implication mutations in more than 10 genes encoding components Ras/MAPK signalling pathway. Recording alterations across populations helps assessing specific features which essential for better disease’s prognosis monitoring. Herein, we report molecular data Greek cohort comprising 86 patients. Patients...
