description: The introduction of C4d in daily clinical practice in the late nineties aroused an ever-increasing interest in the role of antibody-mediated mechanisms in allograft rejection. As a marker of classical complement activation, C4d made it possible to visualize the direct link between anti-donor antibodies and tissue injury at sites of antibody binding in a graft. With the expanding use of C4d worldwide several limitations of C4d were identified. For instance, in ABO-incompatible transplantations C4d is present in the majority of grafts but this seems to point at ‘graft accommodation’ rather than antibody-mediated rejection. C4d is now increasingly recognized as a potential biomarker in other fields where antibodies can cause tissue damage, such as systemic autoimmune diseases and pregnancy. In all these fields, C4d holds promise to detect patients at risk for the consequences of antibody-mediated disease. Moreover, the emergence of new therapeutics that block complement activation makes C4d a marker with potential to identify patients who may possibly benefit from these drugs. This review provides an overview of the past, present, and future perspectives of C4d as a biomarker, focusing on its use in solid organ transplantation and discussing its possible new roles in autoimmunity and pregnancy.

Integrability and RG flow in 2d sigma models

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Motivated by the search for solvable string theories, we consider the problem of classifying the integrable bosonic 2d $σ$-models. We include non-conformal $σ$-models, which have historically been a good arena for discovering integrable models that were later generalized to Weyl-invariant ones. General $σ$-models feature a quantum RG flow, given by a 'generalized Ricci flow' of the target-space geometry. This thesis is based on the conjecture that integrable $σ$-models are renormalizable, or stable under the RG flow. It is widely understood that classically integrable theories are stable at the leading 1-loop order with only a few parameters running. Here we address what happens at higher-loop orders. We find that integrable $σ$-models generally remain RG-stable at higher-loops provided they receive a particular choice of finite counterterms, or quantum ($α'$) corrections to the target-space geometry. We explicitly construct these quantum corrections for examples of integrable $η$- and $λ$-deformed $σ$-models. We then reformulate the $λ$-models as $σ$-models on a "tripled" $G \times G \times G$ configuration space, where they become automatically renormalizable due to manifest symmetries and a decoupling of some fields. We also consider the integrable $G \times G$ and $G \times G/H$ models and construct a new class of integrable $G \times G/H$ models with abelian $H$. We then present a new and different link between integrability and the RG flow in the context of $σ$-models with 'local couplings' depending explicitly on 2d time. Such models are naturally obtained in the light-cone gauge in string theory, pointing to the possibility of a large, new class of solvable string models.

description: Type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent and is the major cause of progressive chronic kidney disease in American Indians. Genome wide association studies identified several loci associated with diabetes but their impact on susceptibility to diabetic complications is unknown. To measure this we studied the association of 18 type 2 diabetes genome wide association single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (MDRD equation) and urine albumin to creatinine ratio in 6,958 individuals in the Strong Heart Study family and cohort participants. Center specific residuals of eGFR and the log urine albumin to creatinine ratio, obtained from linear regression models adjusted for age, sex and body mass index, were regressed onto SNP dosage using variance component in family data and linear regression models in unrelated individuals. Estimates were then combined across centers. Four diabetic loci were associated with eGFR and one locus with the urine albumin to creatinine ratio. A SNP in the WFS1 gene (rs10010131) was associated with higher eGFR in younger individuals and with increased albuminuria. The SNPs of the FTO, KCNJ11 and TCF7L2 genes were associated with lower eGFR, not albuminuria, and were not significant in prospective analyses. Our findings suggest a shared genetic risk for type 2 diabetes, its kidney complications, and a potential role for WFS1 in early onset diabetic nephropathy in American Indian populations.

description: We introduce an operational and statistically meaningful measure, the quantum tomographic transfer function, that possesses important physical invariance properties for judging whether a given informationally complete quantum measurement performs better tomographically in quantum-state estimation relative to other informationally complete measurements. This function is independent of the unknown true state of the quantum source, and is directly related to the average optimal tomographic accuracy of an unbiased state estimator for the measurement in the limit of many sampling events. For the experimentally-appealing minimally complete measurements, the transfer function is an extremely simple formula. We also give an explicit expression for this transfer function in terms of an ordered expansion that is readily computable and illustrate its usage with numerical simulations, and its consistency with some known results.

Yield precursor in primary creep of colloidal gels

description: Predicting the time-dependent yielding of colloidal gels under constant stress enables control of their mechanical stability and transport. Using rotational rheometry, we show that the shear rate of colloidal gels during an early stage of deformation known as primary creep can forecast an eventual yielding. Irrespective of whether the gel strain-softens or strain-hardens, the shear rate before failure exhibits a characteristic power-law decrease as a function of time, distinct from the linear viscoelastic response. We model this early-stage behavior as a series of uncorrelated local plastic events that are thermally activated, which illuminates the exponential dependence of the yield time on the applied stress. This precursor to yield in the macroscopic shear rate provides a convenient tool to identify the fate of a gel well in advance of the actual yielding.

description: The motion of Mercury using numerical methods in the framework of a model including only the non-relativistic Newtonian gravitational interactions of the solar system, 9 planets in translation (including Pluto) around the sun has been studied. Since the true trajectory of Mercury is an open, non-planar curve, we have paid special attention to the exact definition of the advance of Mercury's perihelion. For this purpose, we have introduced the notions of an extended and a geometrical perihelion. In addition, for each orbital period, a mean ellipse was fitted to the trajectory of Mercury. I have shown that the perihelion advance of Mercury deduced from the behavior of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector, as well as the extended and geometrical perihelion advance depend on the fitting time interval and for intervals of the order of 1000 years converge to a value of 532.1 arcseconds per century. The behavior of the perihelia, either extended or geometrical, is strongly impacted by the influence of Jupiter. The advance of the extended perihelion depends strongly on the time step used in the calculations, while the advance of the geometrical perihelion and that deduced by the rotation of the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector depends only slightly on it.

Σε αυτή την έρευνα αξιολογήσαμε τον αριθμό, τη γνώση για ορθή χρήση, τις ανεπιθύμητες ενέργειες και τις πιθανές αλληλεπιδράσεις των σκευασμάτων που έλαβαν ασθενείς από δομή φαρμακείου κοινότητας. Η έρευνα διεξήχθη στην κοινότητα του Κορινού Πιερίας από 19 Ιανουαρίου του 2022 έως 30 Σεπτεμβρίου του 2023. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων έγινε μέσω της χρήσης ερωτηματολογίου σε πληθυσμό ασθενών με ηλικία μεγαλύτερη ή ίση των 60 ετών που λαμβάνει δύο ή περισσότερα συνταγογραφούμενα φάρμακα. Η στατιστική ανάλυση των ερωτηματολογίων έγινε με τη χρήση του λογισμικού SPSS 27. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι υπάρχει πιθανότητα μέτριας αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ της συγχορήγησης φαρμάκων και συμπληρωμάτων διατροφής ή φυτοθεραπευτικών σκευασμάτων. Οι σημαντικότεροι παράγοντες διαφοροποίησης του βαθμού αλληλεπίδρασης είναι το φύλο, η ηλικία και το μορφωτικό επίπεδο. Η πολυφαρμακία είναι μια ιδιαίτερα διαδεδομένη κατάσταση στον πληθυσμό μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας. Σύμφωνα με την παρούσα μελέτη η αναγνώριση των παραγόντων που σχετίζονται με την πολυφαρμακία είναι σημαντική για τον εντοπισμό και την παρακολούθηση ομάδων πληθυσμού, οι οποίες είναι πιο ευάλωτες στην πολυφαρμακία.
description: The co-administration of drugs and nutritional supplements or phytotherapeutic preparations can lead to negative consequences, especially in the elderly, in whom the possibility of interactions between various products due to polypharmacy and overconsumption is common. In this survey we assessed the number, knowledge of proper use, adverse effects and potential interactions of medications received by patients from a community pharmacy structure. The survey was conducted in the community of Korinos Pieria from January 19, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Data collection was done through the use of a questionnaire in a patient population aged over or equal to 60 years taking two or more prescription drugs. The statistical analysis of the questionnaires was done using the SPSS 27 software. The results of the survey showed that there is a possibility of moderate interaction between the co-administration of drugs and dietary supplements or herbal preparations. The most important factors differentiating the degree of interaction are gender, age and educational level. Polypharmacy is a particularly prevalent condition in the older population. According to the present study, the identification of factors related to polypharmacy is important for identifying and monitoring population groups, which are more vulnerable to polypharmacy.

description: The thermal unit commitment (UC) problem has historically been formulated as a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP), which is difficult to solve efficiently, especially for large-scale systems. The tighter characteristic reduces the search space, therefore, as a natural consequence, significantly reduces the computational burden. In literatures, many tightened formulations for a single unit with parts of constraints were reported without presenting explicitly how they were derived. In this paper, a systematic approach is developed to formulate tight formulations. The idea is to use more binary variables to represent the state of the unit so as to obtain the tightest upper bound of power generation limits and ramping constraints for a single unit. In this way, we propose a multi-period formulation based on sliding windows which may have different sizes for each unit in the system. Furthermore, a multi-period model taking historical status into consideration is obtained. Besides, sufficient and necessary conditions for the facets of single-unit constraints polytope are provided and redundant inequalities are eliminated. The proposed models and three other state-of-the-art models are tested on 73 instances with a scheduling time of 24 hours. The number of generators in the test systems ranges from 10 to 1080. The simulation results show that our proposed multi-period formulations are tighter than the other three state-of-the-art models when the window size of the multi-period formulation is greater than 2.

description: The advent of high-resolution spectrographs and detailed stellar atmosphere modelling has strengthened the need for accurate molecular data. Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars spectra are interesting objects with which to study transitions from the CH molecule. We combine programs for spectral analysis of molecules and stellar-radiative transfer codes to build an extensive CH linelist, including predissociation broadening as well as newly identified levels. We show examples of strong predissociation CH lines in CEMP stars, and we stress the important role played by the CH features in the Bond-Neff feature depressing the spectra of barium stars by as much as 0.2 magnitudes in the $λ=$3000 -- 5500 Å range. Because of the extreme thermodynamic conditions prevailing in stellar atmospheres (compared to the laboratory), molecular transitions with high energy levels can be observed. Stellar spectra can thus be used to constrain and improve molecular data.

description: Diabetic nephropathy is the major cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Although the renin-angiotensin system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have a beneficial effect on diabetic nephropathy independently of their effects on blood pressure and plasma angiotensin II levels. This suggests that the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is also involved in the disease. To study the role of the KKS in diabetic nephropathy, mice lacking either the bradykinin B1 receptor (B1R) or the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) have been commonly used. However, because absence of either receptor causes enhanced expression of the other, it is difficult to determine the precise functions of each receptor. This difficulty has recently been overcome by comparing mice lacking both receptors with mice lacking each receptor. Deletion of both B1R and B2R reduces nitric oxide (NO) production and aggravates renal diabetic phenotypes, relevant to either lack of B1R or B2R, demonstrating that both B1R and B2R exert protective effects on diabetic nephropathy presumably via NO. Here, we review previous epidemiological and experimental studies, and discuss novel insights regarding the therapeutic implications of the importance of the KKS in averting diabetic nephropathy.

description: The Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) is a North American multi-center collaborative consortium established to develop a translational research infrastructure for Nephrotic Syndrome. This includes a longitudinal observational cohort study, a pilot and ancillary studies program, a training program, and a patient contact registry. NEPTUNE will enroll 450 adults and children with minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranous nephropathy for detailed clinical, histopathologic, and molecular phenotyping at the time of clinically-indicated renal biopsy. Initial visits will include an extensive clinical history, physical examination, collection of urine, blood and renal tissue samples, and assessments of quality of life and patient-reported outcomes. Follow-up history, physical measures, urine and blood samples, and questionnaires will be obtained every 4 months in the first year and bi-annually, thereafter. Molecular profiles and gene expression data will be linked to phenotypic, genetic, and digitalized histologic data for comprehensive analyses using systems biology approaches. Analytical strategies were designed to transform descriptive information to mechanistic disease classification for Nephrotic Syndrome and to identify clinical, histological, and genomic disease predictors. Thus, understanding the complexity of the disease pathogenesis will guide further investigation for targeted therapeutic strategies.

Πρόκειται για σπάνιους όγκους, με προσαρμοσμένη στην ηλικία ετήσια επίπτωση έξι περιπτώσεων ανά 1.000.000 άτομα τα τελευταία χρόνια. Η πρόγνωση των νεοπλασμάτων της σκωληκοειδούς απόφυσης εξαρτάται κυρίως από τον ιστολογικό τύπο του όγκου και το βαθμό διαφοροποίησης, με τη μακροπρόθεσμη επιβίωση να κυμαίνεται μεταξύ 10% και 90% (1).

description: Appendiceal neoplasms comprise a heterogeneous group of epithelial and non-epithelial tumors with varying malignant potential. They are rare tumors, with an age-adjusted annual incidence of six cases per 1,000,000 individuals in recent years. The prognosis of appendiceal neoplasms depends mainly on tumor histology, with long-term survival ranging between 10% and 90%. There are several histological subtypes of appendiceal neoplasms, with low-grade mucinous neoplasms and neuroendocrine neoplasms being the most common epithelial and non – epithelial tumor, respectively. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can aid in diagnosis, though most commonly appendiceal tumors are incidentally found either during exploration or on appendectomy specimens. The treatment depends on the size, histology and extent of the disease, as well as patient related factors. Primary treatment includes surgical removal of the tumor, performing either appendectomy or right hemicolectomy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be used in advanced or metastatic disease. A multidisciplinary approach is often necessary for optimal management.

description: We investigate the connection between steering and contextuality in general probabilistic theories. We show that for a class of bipartite states the steerability of the state by given set of measurements is equivalent to non-existence of preparation noncontextual hidden variable model for certain restricted theory constructed from the given state and measurements. The connection between steering and contextuality is provided by the concept of incompatibility in restricted theories, which we also investigate.

description: Primary membranous nephropathy is associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolic events, which are inversely correlated with serum albumin levels. To evaluate the potential benefit of prophylactic anticoagulation (venous thromboembolic events prevented) relative to the risk (major bleeds), we constructed a Markov decision model. The venous thromboembolic event risk according to serum albumin was obtained from an inception cohort of 898 patients with primary membranous nephropathy. Risk estimates of hemorrhage were obtained from a systematic literature review. Benefit-to-risk ratios were predicted according to bleeding risk and serum albumin. This ratio increased with worsening hypoalbuminemia from 4.5:1 for an albumin under 3 g/dl to 13.1:1 for an albumin under 2 g/dl in patients at low bleeding risk. Patients at intermediate bleeding risk with an albumin under 2 g/dl have a moderately favorable benefit-to-risk ratio (under 5:1). Patients at high bleeding risk are unlikely to benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation regardless of albuminemia. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis, to account for uncertainty in risk estimates, confirmed these trends. From these data, we constructed a tool to estimate the likelihood of benefit based on an individual’s bleeding risk profile, serum albumin level, and acceptable benefit-to-risk ratio (http://www.gntools.com). This tool provides an approach to the decision of prophylactic anticoagulation personalized to the individual’s needs and adaptable to dynamic changes in health status and risk profile.

description: Η εργασία αυτή στοχεύει στην μελέτη του υπολογιστικού κόστους και των πράξεων της Γραμμικής Άλγεβρας που απαιτούνται για βασικά οικονομικά προβλήματα όπως είναι τα W. Leontief input-output model, Markov Chain και Transportation & Logistics. Η επίλυση αυτών των προβλημάτων βοηθά τον επιχειρηματικό κόσμο, και όχι μόνο, να επιβιώσει και να έχει κερδοφορία στην σύγχρονη εποχή όπου οι εξελίξεις είναι ραγδαίες και απαιτείται ευελιξία και γρήγορη προσαρμογή σε αυτές. Η γραμμική Άλγεβρα παρέχει ένα ισχυρό σύνολο εργαλείων για την ανάλυση και την επίλυση συστημάτων γραμμικών εξισώσεων. Πολλά οικονομικά προβλήματα μπορούν να μοντελοποιηθούν με συστήματα γραμμικών εξισώσεων και η κατανόηση των ιδιοτήτων και των λύσεων αυτών των συστημάτων είναι κρίσιμη για την λήψη τεκμηριωμένων αποφάσεων και προβλέψεων. Λαμβάνοντας όμως υπόψη τον μεγάλο όγκο πληροφοριών της εποχής μας αλλά και το γεγονός ότι τα δεδομένα αυτών των οικονομικών προβλημάτων είναι τις περισσότερες φορές αποθηκευμένα μέσα σε βάσεις δεδομένων, θα μελετήσουμε και θα υλοποιήσουμε τις απαιτούμενες πράξεις για την επίλυση τους με την βοήθεια της γλώσσας προγραμματισμού SQL. Στόχος είναι να μεταφερθεί το υπολογιστικό κόστος όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερο στο ίδιο το σύστημα της βάσης δεδομένων, ώστε όσο πιο εξελιγμένο είναι, να γίνονται οι υπολογισμοί πιο αποδοτικά.
description: This work aims to study the computational cost and operations of Linear Algebra required for fundamental economic problems such as the W. Leontief input-output model, Markov Chain, and Transportation & Logistics. Solving these problems helps the business word, and not only, survive and profit in the modern era where advancements are rapid, requiring flexibility and adaptation. Linear Algebra provides a powerful set of tools for the analysis and solution of systems of linear equations. Many economic problems can be modelled using systems of linear equations, and understanding the properties and solutions of these systems is crucial for making informed decisions and predictions. However, considering the large volume of information in our era and the fact that the data for these economic problems is often stored in databases, we will study and implement the necessary operations for their solution using the SQL programming language. The goal is to transfer the computational cost as much as possible to the database system itself so that the calculations can be more efficient as the system becomes more advanced.

description: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological lesion with many causes including inherited genetic defects with significant proteinuria being the predominant clinical finding at presentation. Mutations in COL4A3 and COL4A4 are known to cause Alport syndrome, thin basement membrane nephropathy, and to result in pathognomonic glomerular basement membrane findings. Secondary FSGS is known to develop in classic Alport Syndrome at later stages of the disease. Here, we present seven families with rare or novel variants in COL4A3 or COL4A4 (six with single and one with two heterozygous variants) from a cohort of 70 families with a diagnosis of hereditary FSGS. The predominant clinical findings at diagnosis were proteinuria associated with hematuria. In all seven families, there were individuals with nephrotic range proteinuria with histologic features of FSGS by light microscopy. In one family, electron microscopy showed thin glomerular basement membrane, but four other families had variable findings inconsistent with classical Alport nephritis. There was no recurrence of disease after kidney transplantation. Families with COL4A3 and COL4A4 variants that segregated with disease represent 10% of our cohort. Thus, COL4A3 and COL4A4 variants should be considered in the interpretation of next-generation sequencing data from such patients. Furthermore, this study illustrates the power of molecular genetic diagnostics in the clarification of renal phenotypes.

description: We modify the transchromatic character maps to land in a faithfully flat extension of Morava E-theory. Our construction makes use of the interaction between topological and algebraic localization and completion. As an application we prove that centralizers of tuples of commuting prime-power order elements in good groups are good and we compute a new example.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in childhood is associated with neurocognitive deficits. Affected children show worse performance on tests of intelligence than their unaffected siblings and skew toward the lower end of the normal range. Here we further assessed this association in 340 pediatric patients (ages 6 to 21) with mild-moderate CKD in The Chronic Kidney Disease in Childhood cohort from 48 pediatric centers in North America. Participants underwent a battery of age-appropriate tests including Conner’s Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II), Delis- Kaplan Executive Function System Tower task, and the Digit Span Backwards task from the age-appropriate Wechsler Intelligence Scale. Test performance was compared across the range of estimated GFR and duration of CKD with relevant covariates including maternal education, household income, IQ, blood pressure and preterm birth. Among the 340 patients, 35% had poor performance (below the mean by1.5 or more standard deviations) on at least one test of executive function. By univariate nonparametric comparison and multiple logistic regression, longer duration of CKD was associated with increased odds ratio for poor performance on the CPT-II Errors of Commission, a test of attention regulation and inhibitory control. Thus, in a population with mild to moderate CKD, the duration of disease rather than estimated GFR was associated with impaired attention regulation and inhibitory control.

description: We perform relativistic configuration-interaction calculations of the energy levels of the low-lying and core-excited states of beryllium-like iron, Fe$^{22+}$. The results include the QED contributions calculated by two different methods, the model QED operator approach and the screening-potential approach. The uncertainties of theoretical energies are estimated systematically. The predicted wavelengths of the Kαtransitions in beryllium-like iron improve previous theoretical results and compare favorably with the experimental data.

description: Data normalization for removing the influence of population density in Population Geography is a common procedure that may come with an unperceived risk. In this regard, data are constrained to a constant sum and they are therefore not independent observations, a fundamental requirement for applying standard multivariate statistical tools. Compositional Data (CoDa) techniques were developed to solve the issues that the standard statistical tools have with close data (i.e., spurious correlations, predictions outside the range, and sub-compositional incoherence) but they are still not commonly used in the field. Hence, we present in this article a case study where we analyse at parish level the spatial distribution of Danes, Western migrants and non-Western migrants in the Capital region of Denmark. By applying CoDa techniques, we have been able to identify the spatial population segregation in the area and we have recognized some patterns that can be used for interpreting housing prices variations. Our exercise is a basic example of the potential of CoDa techniques, which generate more robust and reliable results than standard statistical procedures, but it can be generalized to other population datasets with more complex structures.

description: Remote job submission and execution is fundamental requirement of distributed computing done using Cluster computing. However, Cluster computing limits usage within a single organization. Grid computing environment can allow use of resources for remote job execution that are available in other organizations. This paper discusses concepts of batch-job execution using LRM and using Grid. The paper discusses two ways of preparing test Grid computing environment that we use for experimental testing of concepts. This paper presents experimental testing of remote job submission and execution mechanisms through LRM specific way and Grid computing ways. Moreover, the paper also discusses various problems faced while working with Grid computing environment and discusses their trouble-shootings. The understanding and experimental testing presented in this paper would become very useful to researchers who are new to the field of job management in Grid.

description: Η παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή εργασία έχει ως αντικείμενο την παρουσίαση και την μελέτη των πρωτοπαθών όγκων που εμφανίζονται στα οστά του σκελετού του ανθρώπινου οργανισμού. Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη των συχνότερων από τους κακοήθεις και καλοήθεις όγκους του ανθρώπινου σκελετού σε αντιπροσωπευτικό δείγμα του ελληνικού πληθυσμού ως προς τη συχνότητα εμφάνισης τους, τις συνηθέστερες ανατομικές θέσεις που εντοπίζονται, και τις ηλικιακές ομάδες που αφορούν. Για τον σκοπό αυτό συλλέχθηκε και αναλύθηκε τράπεζα δεδομένων από το μεγαλύτερο κέντρο αναφοράς μυοσκελετικών παθήσεων στην Ελλάδα, το Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Αττικής (ΓΝΑ) ΚΑΤ, με ασθενείς που εμφάνισαν πρωτοπαθείς όγκους του μυοσκελετικού. Στη συνέχεια τα αποτελέσματα τις έρευνας συγκρίθηκαν με τα αντίστοιχα της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας με σκοπό την ανεύρεση διαφοροποιήσεων στα χαρακτηριστικά και την εμφάνιση των όγκων του μυοσκελετικού στον ελληνικό πληθυσμό σε σχέση με άλλες πληθυσμιακές ομάδες. Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης αυτής αναδεικνύουν τόσο στατιστικές όσο και ποιοτικές διαφορές των συνηθέστερων όγκων του μυοσκελετικού και παρουσιάζονται ενδελεχώς στο ειδικό μέρος της εργασίας.
description: The subject of this master's thesis is the presentation and study of primary tumors that appear in the bones of the human skeleton. The purpose of the thesis is to study the most common malignant and benign tumors of the human skeleton in a representative sample of the Greek population in terms of their frequency of occurrence, the most common anatomical locations found, and the age groups they concern. For this purpose, a database was collected and analyzed from the largest reference center for musculoskeletal diseases in Greece, the General Hospital of Attica KAT, with patients presenting with primary tumors of the musculoskeletal system. Then the results of the research were compared with those of the international literature in order to find differences in the characteristics and appearance of musculoskeletal tumors in the Greek population in relation to other population groups. The results of this study highlight both statistical and qualitative differences of the most common musculoskeletal tumors and are thoroughly presented in the special part of the paper.
