Sensor-Based Fuzzy Inference of COVID-19 Transmission Risk in Cruise Ships Open
Cruise ships are densely populated ecosystems where infectious diseases can spread rapidly. Hence, early detection of infected individuals and risk assessment (RA) of the disease transmissibility are critical. Recent studies have investiga…

Acute suppurative thyroiditis in a child with congenital third/fourth branchial arch anomaly: a case report Open
Third and fourth branchial arch anomalies belong to congenital lesions which are extremely rare accounting for <1-4% of branchial arch anomalies. In our case, a 4-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with a painful mass on the left si…

Lung Cancer Screening in Greece: A Modelling Study to Estimate the Impact on Lung Cancer Life Years Open
(1) Background: Lung cancer causes a substantial epidemiological burden in Greece. Yet, no formal national lung cancer screening program has been introduced to date. This study modeled the impact on lung cancer life years (LCLY) of a hypot…

The Relation between Induced Electric Field and TMS-Evoked Potentials: A Deep TMS-EEG Study Open
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in humans induces electric fields (E-fields, EF) that perturb and modulate the brain’s endogenous neuronal activity and result in the generation of TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs). The exact relation of…

Clinical Heterogeneity of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in the Emergency Department: Impact on Clinical Outcome Open
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is mainly classified into acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) and acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). Although diagnosis of GBS requires progressive weakness and universal areflexia or hyp…
