      Click evoked neurogenic vestibular potentials (NVESTEPs): A method of assessing the function of the vestibular system 

      Papathanasiou, Eleftherios Stelios; Zamba-Papanicolaou, Eleni; Pantzaris, Marios C.; Kyriakides, Theodoros; Papacostas, Savvas S.; Myrianthopoulou, Panayiota; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Iliopoulos, Ioannis Komotini; Piperidou, Charitomeni N. (2003)
      Objectives: To obtain neurogenic vestibular evoked potentials (NVESTEPs) with surface scalp recording using high intensity auditory clicks. The same stimulus is used in myogenic vestibular evoked potentials which has been ...

      Effect of recent thymic emigrants on progression of HIV-1 disease 

      Hatzakis, Angelos E.; Touloumi, G.; Karanicolas, R.; Karafoulidou, A.; Mandalaki, T.; Anastassopoulou, C. G.; Zhang, L.; Goedert, J. J.; Ho, David D.; Kostrikis, Leontios G. (2000)
      Background. The concentration of T-cell receptor-rearrangement excision DNA circles (TREC) in peripheral-blood T cells is a marker of recent thymic emigrant αβ T cells. We studied the predictive ability of measurements of ...
