This study shows that the recurrence of varicose veins after surgery is not uncommon. However, the clinical condition of most affected limbs remains improved. Progression of the disease and neovascularisation are responsible for more than half of the recurrences. Rigorous evaluation of patients and assiduous surgical technique might reduce recurrence due to technical and tactical failures.

Abstract. Data on tsunami phenomena occurring in the East Hellenic Arc and Trench system (HA-T) from antiquity up to the present have been updated, critically evaluated and compiled in the standard GITEC format developed in the last decade for the New European Tsunami Catalogue. New field observations are presented for the tsunamis of 9 February 1948 and 24 March 2002. From the 18 tsunamis reported eight are rather well-documented while another nine remain doubtful. The mean recurrence of strong tsunamis is likely equal to about 142 years. Most of the tsunamis documented are caused by strong earthquakes occurring in the area offshore Rhodes to the east or northeast of the island. However, there are large earthquakes near Rhodes that do not cause tsunamis, like the 1926 and 1957 ones, which is of particular importance for the tsunami hazard assessment.

The ANN appears to be more appropriate for the prediction of glucose profile based on glucose and insulin data.

On 26.1.2014 and 3.2.2014 two strong earthquakes of M w 6.0 and M w 5.9 ruptured the western Cephalonia Isl., Ionian Sea (Greece), at the SSW-wards continuation of the Lefkada segment of the Cephalonia Transform Fault Zone (CTFZ), causing considerable damage and a variety of ground failures. High-precision relocation of the aftershocks implies that the seismogenic layer was of 35 km in length (L) striking NNE-SSW, of 10 km maximum in width and 15 km in thickness. Two aftershock 2014 earthquakes ruptured on land western Cephalonia we suggested to revise the CTFZ geometry in the sense that the Lefkada CTFZ segment does not terminates offshore NW Cephalonia but extends towards SSW in western Cephalonia.

The West Hellenic Arc and Trench (WHA-T) system is seismotectonically one of the most active in the European–Mediterranean region. Data on earthquake and tsunami phenomena occurring in the tectonic segment of the WHA-T from the antiquity up to the present have been updated, critically evaluated, and compiled in the standard format developed for the New European Tsunami Catalog. Most of the tsunamis documented are caused by strong earthquakes occurring in the area offshore Crete Island which is one of the most tsunamigenic areas in the entire Mediterranean Sea region. The major event of AD365 appears to be the largest ever occurred in the Mediterranean Sea at least in the last 2.5 millennia. The mean repeat time of strong tsunamis is calculated from intensity-frequency statistics and probabilistic hazard assessment is performed by assuming random temporal distribution of the events.
