Administration of sedation by non-anesthesiologists during gastrointestinal endoscopy remains highly controversial in Greece. The aim of this set of 16 position statements prepared by experts in the field on behalf of the Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology is to aid gastroenterologists in their everyday clinical practice and provide evidence for the best use of drugs for the sedation of patients who undergo an endoscopy. The statements address issues such as the level of sedation required, the best drugs used, their mode of action, their side-effects and possible ways to counter their action, and were adopted if at least 80% of all participants agreed upon them.

: DNA damage response (DDR) is a network of molecular pathways associated with the pathogenesis and progression of several diseases, as well as the outcome of chemotherapy. Moreover, the intracellular redox status is essential for maintaining cell viability and controlling cellular signaling. Herein, we analyzed DDR signals and redox status in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with lung cancer with different response rates to platinum-based chemotherapy.
