There are about 4329 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Greece. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study investigated the acute effects of two fruit juices on postprandial glycemic responses and satiety in healthy individuals
Rapid detection of microorganisms is a promising approach towards early administration of appropriate antibiotics for sepsis. This study aims to investigate the potential of a new NGS platform for the rapid diagnosis of circulating bacteria in blood.
It was a prospective randomized controlled trial. A sample of 115 apparently healthy post-menopausal women(45 -75 years of age) randomized into four groups and received supplements of Ca, Vitamin D and Mg with or without enriched olive paste and with or without Vitamin C. Changes in calciregulatory hormone were evaluated at the beginning of the study, at 5 and 12 months . Blood levels of vitamin D, vitamin C, Ca, Mg, the lipid profile, anthropometric indices and bone density were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the study.
The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of a chitosan brush on the treatment of residual pockets in patients already treated for periodontal disease. Thirty-six patients with chronic periodontitis (Stage ΙΙΙ, ΙV) that had already completed causative therapy and exhibited at least two residual periodontal pockets ≥ 5mm that bled on probing, were randomly assigned to two groups. In the test group debridement of residual pockets was performed with ultrasonic scaler and the chitosan brush, whereas in the control group only ultrasonic scalers were used.
The aim of the present 3-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate whether adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) together with melatonin oral treatment or plaebo, would ameliorate Cancer Related Fatigue in Breast Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.
The effects of orange juice enriched with vitamin D3 and encapsulated probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG) compared to conventional orange juice on several cardiometabolic and anthropometric parameters in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease.
The effects of yogurt with spirulina consumption compared to conventional yogurt (without spirulina) on several cardiometabolic and anthropometric parameters in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease
Background: The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance. Deficiencies in this system can result in instability and an increased risk of falls in older adults, posing a significant global health concern due to associated injuries. The Cawthorne and Cooksey program has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing balance and reducing falls. This study aims to investigate the program's impact on balance, fear of falling, and dizziness in individuals aged 65 and older. Thirty-two older adults will be assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will undergo a video-supported Cawthorne and Cooksey-based therapy, while the control group will receive counseling on fall prevention and healthy living through leaflets. The 4-week intervention will take place three times a week, including one face-to-face session and one via video. Pre- and post-assessments, along with a one-month follow-up, will be conducted.
Purpose: Neo-angiogenesis is necessary for adhesion and invasiveness of endometriotic lesions in women affected by endometriosis. VEGF is one of the major components of angiogenesis and is part of the major pathway TF-PAR-2-VEGF that leads to neo-angiogenesis. SP1 is a transcriptional factor that has lately been studied for its crucial role in angiogenesis, via a distinct pathway. We hypothesize that by blocking angiogenetic pathways we can repress endometriotic lesions. GnRH-agonists are routinely used, especially pre-operatively, in endometriosis. It would be interesting to clarify which angiogenetic pathways are affected and pave the way for further research over anti-angiogenetic effects on endometriosis. Methods: We used qRT-PCR to study mRNA expression levels of TF, PAR-2, VEGF and SP1 in endometriotic tissues of women who underwent surgery for endometriosis and received GnRH-a [leuprolide acetate] preoperatively.
