The differential impact of the financial crisis on health in Ireland and Greece: a quasi-experimental approach

quasi-experimental designs

Hessel P, Vandoros S, Avendano M.
GSID: FG2LQDlG2OcJ
P Hessel, S Vandoros, M Avendano - Public health, 2014 - Elsevier

… One limitation with the quasi-experimental design used in this study is the difficulty of identifying an appropriate control group. Ideally, this should not have been affected at all by the financial crisis and show similar trends in health...

Now or later? Understanding the etiologic period of suicide.

Preventive medicine reports

Vandoros S, Kavetsos G.
PMID: 26844154
Prev Med Rep. 2015 Sep 21;2:809-11. doi: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2015.09.009. eCollection 2015.

Previous research shows that the announcement of austerity measures leads to an immediate and short-lived increase in behaviour that demonstrates anxiety, stress, frustration and other mental effects. This paper uses evidence from the same natural experiment to study whether,...

COVID-19: Early evening curfews and mobility.

Social science & medicine (1982)

Velias A, Georganas S, Vandoros S.
PMID: 34823131

Both idiopathic intracranial hypertension and intracranial cerebrospinal fluid hypotension, spontaneous or iatrogenic, display visual disturbances, including visual loss, visual field deficit, transient visual obscurations, and diplopia. We present a case of a long-standing idiopathic intracranial hypertension, primarily manifesting with...

BACKGROUND: Infection with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a widespread transmittable disease with a diagnosed prevalence of 2.0%. Fortunately, it is now curable in most patients. Sales of medicines to treat HCV infection grew 2.7% per year between...

Resistance to sap-sucking insects in modern-day agriculture.

Frontiers in plant science

Vandoorn A, de Vos M.
PMID: 23818892
Front Plant Sci. 2013 Jun 27;4:222. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2013.00222. Print 2013.

Plants and herbivores have co-evolved in their natural habitats for about 350 million years, but since the domestication of crops, plant resistance against insects has taken a different turn. With the onset of monoculture-driven modern agriculture, selective pressure on...
