Lateral crus in functional rhinoplasty
Value of cephalic part of lateral crus in functional rhinoplasty: AbstractReshaping of the nasal tip is the most difficult part of rhinoplasty. Over the years, there have been many advances in the field of rhinoplasty, including tip plasty. The goal of these continuous refinements in existing procedures has been to improve both aesthetic and functional outcomes. The cephalic part of the lateral crus of the lower lateral cartilage is what mainly contributes to nasal tip deformity. Various surgical techniques have been reported that used the cephalic part of lateral crus to refine th... περισσότερα »

Intensity-modulated proton therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Decreased radiation dose to normal structures and encouraging clinical outcomes
Abstract Background Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) has the potential to spare dose to organs at risk (OAR) when compared to intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes. Methods Ten patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were identified for whom IMPT was planned; 9 patients also had a comparison photon-based IMRT plan generated. Dosimetric comparison of… Continue reading Intensity-modulated proton therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Decreased radiation dose to normal structures and encouraging clinical outcomes
Prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
ABSTRACT Background The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been found to be predictive of survival outcome in a range of tumors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment (NLR) in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Methods A retrospective analysis of 140 patients with laryngeal SCC treated between 2005… Continue reading Prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck surgeons
Abstract The development of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has played a major role in improving outcomes and decreasing morbidity in patients with head and neck cancer. This review addresses this vital modality with a focus on the important role of the head and neck surgeon. The technique as well as its benefits and points of caution… Continue reading Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck surgeons
Irradiation of localized squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of primary radiotherapy treatment for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasal vestibule. Methods Eighty-one patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and/or interstitial radiotherapy (IRT) for a primary, localized, Wang classified SCC of the nasal vestibule. Results Median follow-up was… Continue reading Irradiation of localized squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule

IJERPH, Vol. 13, Pages 83: Prevalence and Risk Factors of Overweight and Obesity among Adolescents and Their Parents in Central Greece (FETA Project)
The increasing obesity trend in adolescence is a public health concern. The initial phase of Feeding Exercise Trial in Adolescents (FETA) aimed in investigating the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents and their parents and in identifying associated factors among parents’ and adolescents’ demographics, eating habits, and parental style. The sample consisted of 816… Continue reading IJERPH, Vol. 13, Pages 83: Prevalence and Risk Factors of Overweight and Obesity among Adolescents and Their Parents in Central Greece (FETA Project)

Current and future biomarkers in allergic asthma
Abstract Diagnosis early in life, sensitization, asthma endotypes, monitoring of disease and treatment progression are key motivations for the exploration of biomarkers for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. The number of genes related to allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma increases steadily, however prognostic genes have not yet entered clinical application. We hypothesize that the combination… Continue reading Current and future biomarkers in allergic asthma
Cockroach Allergen Exposure and Risk of Asthma
Abstract Cockroach sensitization is an important risk factor for the development of asthma. However, its underlying immune mechanisms and the genetic etiology for differences in allergic responses remain unclear. Cockroach allergens identification and their expression as biologically active recombinant proteins has provided a basis for studying the mechanisms regarding cockroach allergens induced allergic sensitization and… Continue reading Cockroach Allergen Exposure and Risk of Asthma
