- Abstract
The flossing method is an emerging therapeutic intervention based on the use of a floss-band that is circumnavigated at the various points of the body being treated. It is optimally combined with an appropriate exercise program to induce ischemia and release the fascia by applying pressure and movement to functional models. The Pilates method teaches the person to focus on the muscles, especially those responsible for the correct posture. It also helps the individual to become aware of the way he/she breathes. Both methods have positive effects on exercise and rehabilitation. However, medical flossing has not been as well researched as the Pilates method. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of both methods on the strength, endurance, and functionality of healthy individuals. A review of the literature on medical flossing and Pilates was conducted. A systematic research took place from 2014 to 2019. Publications in non-English or non-Greek language were excluded. The articles were retrieved from not only PubMed, Scielo, and Elsevier databases, but also Google Scholar. Both methods are understudied in relation to their effectiveness on the strength, endurance, and functionality of healthy individuals. More studies are required to estimate the effects of both methods on healthy individuals.

- Abstract
The COSMOS-UK observation network has been providing field-scale soil moisture and hydrometeorological measurements across the UK since 2013. At the time of publication a total of 51 COSMOS-UK sites have been established, each delivering high-temporal resolution data in near-real time. Each site utilizes a cosmic-ray neutron sensor, which counts epithermal neutrons at the land surface. These measurements are used to derive field-scale near-surface soil water content, which can provide unique insight for science, industry, and agriculture by filling a scale gap between localized point soil moisture and large-scale satellite soil moisture datasets. Additional soil physics and meteorological measurements are made by the COSMOS-UK network including precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, soil heat flux, wind speed and direction, and components of incoming and outgoing radiation. These near-real-time observational data can be used to improve the performance of hydrological models, validate remote sensing products, improve hydro-meteorological forecasting, and underpin applications across a range of other scientific fields. The most recent version of the COSMOS-UK dataset is publically available at https://doi.org/10.5285/b5c190e4-e35d-40ea-8fbe-598da03a1185 (Stanley et al., 2021).

- Abstract
Mapping of coastline changes assists in coastal development and monitoring. Athens Riviera, located in the southwestern coastal zone in Attica in central Greece, has undergone major and radical changes generated by human interference during the last decades. The aim of this paper is to map record and measure the coastline changes in Athens Riviera over the past 76 years. Aerial photographs and satellite images from 1945 to 2021 as well as geographic information system (GIS) techniques were used to depict the spatial and temporal variations of the coastline. The results show that 60% of the total length of the coastline is artificial coast, while 29% is rocky coast and 12% beach. The study of seven subareas showed that human interventions caused significant coastline changes in Faliro Bay, Alimos and Glyfada. The adjacent coastal regions to Athens metropolitan area illustrate the highest modifications in the coastline. The main changes in the coastlines are recorded from 1960 to 1987, while the rate of changes in coastline slowed down from 1987 to 2021. The total changes in the coastline of Athens Riviera demonstrate that, during the past 76 years, the coastline was enhanced by 40% while land reclaimed to the sea area approaches 2.67 km2. The applied method is effective and rapid and may utilize in the coastal monitoring and management.

- Abstract
This project was commissioned by the Environment Agency (EA) Ecology & Ecosystems team, part of the Agriculture Fisheries and Natural Resources department (Environment & Business Directorate, Head Office), with support from the EA Water Resources. The Ecology & Ecosystems team is in charge of EA standard invertebrate methods for assessing rivers, including river status classification, and of developing the River Invertebrate Classification Tool (RICT). RICT has at its core the River Invertebrate Prediction and Classification System (RIVPACS) model. This model has been upgraded and refined through years, with Model 44 being the latest experimental working version. Model 44 has been designed to provide more accurate predictions of invertebrate communities in rivers impacted by hydro-morphological alterations. In particular, the new input variables exclude width, depth and substrate, and are hydro-morphologically independent. In 2017, UKCEH created a UK-wide database for these new Model 44 variables (Kral et al., 2017). The aim of this project is to generate a testing dataset including a sufficient number of sites across England, and their Model 1 and Model 44 input variables so the original and new models can be compared, and should they yield different results, to assess if Model 44 is better suited for water resource assessments, and can better capture impact of flow and fine sediment pressures.

- Abstract
This dataset contains daily and sub-daily hydrometeorological and soil observations from COSMOS-UK (cosmic-ray soil moisture) monitoring network from October 2013 to the end of 2018. These data are from 50 sites across the UK recording a range of hydrometeorological and soil variables. Each site in the network records the following hydrometeorological and soil data at 30 minute resolution: Radiation (short wave, long wave and net), precipitation, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, soil heat flux, and soil temperature and volumetric water content (VWC), measured by point senors at various depths. Each site hosts a cosmic-ray sensing probe; a novel sensor technology which counts fast neutrons in the surrounding atmosphere. In combination with the recorded hydrometeorological data, neutron counts are used to derive VWC over a field scale (COSMOS VWC), at two temporal resolutions (hourly and daily). The presence of snow leads to erroneously high measurements of COSMOS VWC due to all the extra water in the surrounding area. Included in the daily data are indications of snow days, on which, the COSMOS VWC are adjusted and the snow water equivalent (SWE) is given. The potential evapotranspiration (PE), derived from recorded hydrometeorological and soil are also included at daily resolution. Two levels of quality control are carried out, firstly data is run through a series of automated checks, such as range tests and spike tests, and then all data is manually inspected each week where any other faults are picked up, including sensor faults or connection issues. Quality control flags are provided for all recorded (30 minute) data, indicating the reason for any missing data.

Μελετήθηκαν στην παρούσα έρευνα δεκαπέντε δωρητές σώματος, που απέθαναν με πνευμονική εμβολή και χρησιμοποιούνται για την εκπαίδευση των Βετών της Ιατρικής Σχολής Αθηνών. Συνολικά μελετήθηκαν 12 άνδρες και 3 γυναίκες σε διάστημα 5 ετών στο εργαστήριο της Ανατομίας. Κατά την μελέτη των προαναφερθέντων παρασκευασμάτων διαπιστώθηκε η παρουσία υπολειμματικής νέκρωσης στο φλεβικό δίκτυο. Ο ιστός των φλεβών μελετήθηκε με την μέθοδο του ανοσοφθορισμού, ο οποίος βασίζεται στην ειδική πρόσδεση του σεσημασμένου αντισώματος με φθορίζον χρωμογόνο στο δικό του αντιγόνο. Για την μελέτη του συμπαθητικού συστήματος χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως φθορίζον μόριο η φλουορεσκεΐνη, η οποία επιτρέπει να στοχεύουμε τη φθορίζουσα ουσία σε συγκεκριμένες πρωτεΐνες και κυτταρικές δομές. Η μελέτη είναι πρωτότυπη στην Ελλάδα και από τις σπάνιες στο διεθνή χώρο, διότι έγινε σε ανθρώπινο υλικό φλεβών, ενώ διεθνώς χρησιμοποιούνται για την αντίστοιχη μελέτη πειραματόζωα. On the whole 15 cases of veinthrombosis patients were studied: 12 of them derived from autopsies and 3 speciments were taken from human corpses used for the anatomy exercise of the 2nd year students of Athens University Medical Scholl. Furthermore, thirty one speciments belonged to surgical patients: twelve of them derived from Public Hospitals. It was studied 12 males and 3 females human cadaveries in the veins system. During the examination of the speciments mentioned above, residual sympathetic neurosis was found within all of them. The tissue of veins studied with the immunofluorescence method, which is based on the specific adhesion of the branded with the fluorescent chromogenic antibody to its specific antigen. Fluorescein was used as a marked molecule, in order to study the sympathetic nervous system, because it gives the ability of targeting the fluorescent substance in specific proteins and cell structures. This study is considered as original in Greece and even rare internationally, as it took place on human veins, whilst animals are used in experiments for other relevant international studies.

- Abstract
The globalization of the Western lifestyle has resulted in increase of diabetes mellitus, a complex, multifactorial disease. Diabetes mellitus is a condition often related to the disorders of the cardiovascular system. It is well established that three quarters of diabetics, aged over 40, will die from cardiovascular disease and are more likely than non-diabetics to die from their first cardiovascular event. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to individualize treatment via risk stratification. Conditions that increase cardiovascular risk in people with diabetes include age more than 40 years, male gender, history of relative suffering from premature CHD, blood pressure and high LDL levels, presence of microalbuminuria, obstructive sleepapnea, erectile dysfunction and other conditions. Several models have been developed in order to assess cardiovascular risk in people with and without diabetes. Some of them have been proven to be inadequate while others are widely used for years. An emerging way of risk assessment in patients with diabetes mellitus is the use of biomarkers but a lot of research needs to be done in this field in order to have solid conclusions.

- Abstract
A new group of hypoglycemic drugs has been used to treat diabetes type 2. This group is active sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) or SGLT2 inhibitors. It has been shown that besides the treatment of diabetes, this drug class is responsible for the mildness of the cardiovascular events shown in patients with diabetes type 2. However, there is an intriguing question regarding the range of SGLT2 inhibitors and if there is a difference between them or if there is a class effect among their results. EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial and the CVD-study are used to answer this question. Additional information from the DECLARE-TIMI 58 and Dapa-HF trials is studied.
