Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter for Assessing Prognosis after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

Purpose: Evaluate optic nerve sheath and pial diameters (ONSD, ONPD) via sonography and computed tomography (CT) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) and to compare their prognostic significance with other imaging and laboratory biomarkers.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study enrolling patients after successful resuscitation between December 2017 and August 2021. ONSD and ONPD were measured with sonography.

Genetics and epigenetics of populations with differential exposure to air pollution.

Forest species in the course of their evolution have experienced several environmental challenges, which since historic times include anthropogenic pollution. The effects of pollution on the genetic and epigenetic diversity in black pine () forests were investigated in the Amyntaio - Ptolemais - Kozani Basin, which has been for decades the largest lignite mining and burning center of Greece, with a total installed generating capacity of about 4.5 GW, operating for more than 70 years and resulting in large amounts of primary air pollutant emissions, mainly SO, NOx and PM10.

Analysis of Wine-Producing L. Biotypes, Autochthonous to Crete (Greece), Employing Ampelographic and Microsatellite Markers.

ssp. (domesticated grapevine) includes thousands of cultivars, which are classified according to their main uses, as wines, fresh fruits or dried raisins and sultanas since ancient times. Evidence showed that Crete grapevine cultivars and winemaking date back to 2300 BC.

[Evisceration, enucleation and exenteration-Indications, techniques, and postoperative care].

Various surgical techniques are available for the extirpation of an eye, depending on the underlying disease. Typical indications encompass tumors, inflammatory and infectious processes, glaucoma, trauma as well as congenital malformations. Surgical procedures include evisceration (resection of the intraocular space with preservation of the sclera), enucleation (extirpation of the entire eyeball including sclera and cornea) and exenteration (resection of the complete orbital soft tissue).
