Cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) and cryoneurolysis (CRYO) are two novel methods of genicular neurolysis to relief pain in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). In this study, the will be compared, giving us opportunity investigate their efficacy, safety complications.In prospective randomized trial 70 patients with KOA recruited using a diagnostic block four nerves. Two groups created through software randomization: CRFA group (35 patients) CRYO patients). The target interventions...
Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to preoperatively estimate the four-strand hamstring graft size in a White Caucasian population, using anthropometric data. Methods: This prospective consecutive series fifty patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, who were scheduled for reconstruction autografts; however, one them ultimately not enrolled according exclusion criteria (49 total). Preoperatively, age, sex, weight, body mass index (BMI), length, and diameter...
There is little evidence on the incidence and characteristics of local allergic rhinitis (LAR) in children. Most studies have included subjects with perennial only, results are based investigation no more than three allergens per study. Our aim was to determine proportion children LAR amongst chronic, difficult-to-treat, or seasonal, but sensitization aeroallergens, other alternative diagnosis.We performed multiple nasal provocation tests (M-NPTs) four locally relevant aeroallergens (Phleum...
From early life, respiratory viruses are implicated in the development, exacerbation and persistence of conditions such as asthma. Complex dynamics between microbial communities host immune responses shape maturation homeostasis, influencing health outcomes. We evaluated hypothesis that virome is linked to systemic responses, using peripheral blood nasopharyngeal swab samples from preschool-age children PreDicta cohort.Peripheral mononuclear cells 51 (32 asthmatics 19 healthy controls)...
Cancer stem cells and the misregulation of epigenetic modifications have been identified to possess a determinative role in carcinogenesis. The purpose this study was investigate expression profile EZH2 H3K4me2 H3K27me3, which constitute cell-like "bivalent" domains, cutaneous malignant melanoma. A comparative analysis their immunohistochemical between invasion front (IF) inner tumor mass also evaluated. Immunohistochemical methodology performed on sections 89 melanoma lesions from 79...
Nasal irrigations (NI) are increasingly used as an over-the-counter adjunctive treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR), but clinical studies on their effectiveness limited.An open-label, controlled, non-randomized, real-life study was conducted to evaluate the of NI with a new hypertonic solution add-on AR. Children and adolescents AR were prescribed symptomatic treatment. The active group also received additional sea-water supplemented algae extracts. primary endpoint symptom control, assessed...
Aim: To investigate the routine guidance provided by pediatricians concerning timing of complementary feeding (CF) for both healthy infants and those at a heightened risk allergies. Methods: A total 233 participated in an anonymous online survey that included questions about demographics recommendations CF. Specifically, they on types foods, preparation methods, supplements, time intervals introducing new foods to low high allergy risk, delayed food introductions high-risk cases. Results:...
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been investigated widely in the past 30 years, resulting many research achievements this field.
Background Hip fractures are an increasingly common injury among older people who usually experience significantly worse mobility, independence in function, health, quality of life, and high rates institutionalization. Studies have shown that only 40-60% participants recover their pre-fracture level mobility ability to perform instrumental activities daily living, while for those independent self-care prior the fracture, 20-60% still require assistance various tasks one or two years after...
Tree nut and/or peanut allergy impairs patients' quality of life, but data on the impact age and type or life are lacking. To evaluate at different ages, age-appropriate survey questionnaires accompanied by FAQLQ FAIM were distributed to patients with suspected tree who presented departments three hospitals in Athens. Out 200 distributed, 106 met inclusion criteria (46 children, 26 teenagers, 34 adults). The median score each group for was 4.6 (3.3-5.1), 4.7 (3.9-5.5), 3.9 (3.2-5.1) 3.7...
Purpose: To evaluate the combined use of optical coherence tomography and angiography (OCT-A) for imaging choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).Materials Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from May 2015 April 2017. Included in were 54 patients (n = 63 eyes), all whom had CNV nAMD been examined by OCT-A. Angioscans (3x3 6 × 6) conventional B-scan OCT scans obtained at baseline various times during 24-month...
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non-invasive marker for eosinophilic airway inflammation and has been used monitoring asthma. Here, we assess the characteristics of FeNO from preschool to school age, in parallel with asthma activity. A total 167 asthmatic children 66 healthy, age-matched controls were included 2-year prospective PreDicta study evaluating wheeze/asthma persistence preschool-aged children. Information on asthma/rhinitis activity, infections atopy was recorded at...
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence orthorexia nervosa (ON) among professional dancers in Greece, as well its relationship with nutrition, body mass index (BMI), image flexibility, and parental bonding. participants were 96 dancers, a mean age 23.41 ± 5.13 years, who completed battery questionnaires recording sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric characteristics; adherence Mediterranean diet (MedDiet); indications ON, determined by ORTHO-15 questionnaire; using...
Background: Dietary and environmental factors may influence tolerance acquisition in food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). This retrospective observational study explored the role of maternal diet during pregnancy breastfeeding infantile FPIAP. Methods: Breastfed infants with FPIAP from six diverse regions Greece were divided into two groups, based on development to trigger food: Group A (n = 43), before, B 53), after, 6th month age. Maternal was elicited using Mediterranean...
After a myocardial infarction, the inflammatory response is connected to major adverse outcomes such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac remodeling, infarct size and poor prognosis. INFlammatIoN amI sTudY (INFINITY) multicenter, prospective, observational, cohort study designed investigate prognostic role of cytokines IL-6, IL-10, IL-18 IL-17 adipokines leptin, apelin chemerin in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
