AIM: The most effective therapeutic approach for patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma (SGLC) and clinically negative neck (cN0) remains a subject of much debate. The purpose of this systematic review was to answer the following question: among patients with SGLC and cN0 neck, are the survival and occurrence of neck metastases significantly different between patients that received neck di...<br/><br/> Goudakos, Markou, Nikolaou, Themelis, Vital (2008) <i>Eur J Surg Oncol</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

INTRODUCTION: Primary neoplasms of the external ear canal are rare, and 5% of these tumors are of glandular origin. Ceruminal glands are modified sweat glands of the skin of the external auditory meatus that may give rise to (a) benign tumors such as ceruminous adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma, and syringocystadenoma papilliferum, and (b) malignant tumors such as ceruminous adenocarcinoma, adenoid cys...<br/><br/>Konstantinos Markou, Ilias Karasmanis, Konstantinos Vlachtsis, Dimitrios Petridis, Angelos Nikolaou, Victor Vital (2008) <i>Am J Otolaryngol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 29: 2 142-146<br/>

Otosclerosis is the primary disease affecting the homeostasis of otic capsule and is among the most common causes of acquired hearing loss. Otosclerosis is considered as a multifactor disease, caused by both genetic and environmental factors. The aim of the present review is to summarize and analyze the bibliographic data, associated with the etiology of the disease. In some cases, the otosclerosi...<br/><br/> Markou, Goudakos (2008) <i>Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol</i> <i></i> <i></i> : <br/>

STUDY DESIGN: Various neurophysiological parameters of the motor system were investigated in 43 female patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) and 31 sex and age matched controls using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether asymmetries in excitatory and inhibitory brain processes, as studied by TMS, are a causative factor in IS.

Laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare extra-pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis, and frequently presents with tumour-like symptoms and clinical findings. Uncommon clinical features are to be expected by the ENT specialist, who should be aware of these recently changing presentations. Despite the dramatic reduction of the incidence of the disease during the last few decades, a perceptible increase i...<br/><br/>K Markou, K Vlachtsis, A Agathaggelidis, D Petridis, A Nikolaou (2006) <i>B-ENT</i> <i></i> <i></i> 2: 2 91-94<br/>

Many factors affect the prognosis in operable laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Many clinical factors have been implicated in tumor recurrence and poor survival of the patients. The aim of the present study is to investigate the demographic, clinical and histological characteristics as prognostic factors. Moreover, our aim is to analyze the role of modern molecular biomarkers in the progno...<br/><br/>Konstantinos Vlachtsis, Angelos Nikolaou, Konstantinos Markou, George Fountzilas, Ioannis Daniilidis (2005) <i>Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 262: 11 890-898<br/>

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the effectiveness of various pharmaceutical therapeutic schemes in the treatment of tinnitus due to acute acoustic trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study included 108 military personnel (all males; mean age 22 years; range 18 to 31 years) with complaints of tinnitus due to acute acoustic trauma following firearm use.

Pharyngocutaneous fistula is the most common complication (8.7 to 22%) in the immediate postoperative period following total laryngectomy. The study's objective was to determine the incidence of post-laryngectomy fistulas in patients operated on in our department to establish whether specific factors predispose to fistula formation and to determine whether fistulas and tumor recurrence are related...<br/><br/>Konstantinos D Markou, Konstantinos C Vlachtsis, Angelos C Nikolaou, Dimitrios G Petridis, Athanasios I Kouloulas, Ioannis C Daniilidis (2004) <i>Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 261: 2 61-67<br/>

Between 1992 and 1998, 547 patients (pts) with laryngeal SCC were diagnosed and treated in our department, 145 (27%) of whom presented with glottic tumors T1N0M0 (125 T1a and 20 T1b). Seventy-eight (54%) were treated surgically with cordectomy and 67 (46%) with radiotherapy. After a median follow-up time of 43 months, 22 (15.2%) of the 145 pts presented with recurrent disease.

The cause of idiopathic scoliosis remains unknown, although research has possibly eliminated some hypothetical causes. Recent reports associating scoliosis convexity with equilibrium control central processing and motor lateralization have suggested that idiopathic scoliosis is connected causally with the motor cortex. In order to analyze these factors a study of labyrinthine function was carried ...<br/><br/>G Kapetanos, M Potoupnis, Ang Dangilas, K Markou, J Pournaras (2002) <i>Stud Health Technol Inform</i> <i></i> <i></i> 91: 7-9<br/>

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISHL) remains a controversial topic. So far, there are no proven objective auditory factors to establish prognosis. Otoacoustic emissions reflect the functional integrity of the outer hair cells. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in the early stages of ISHL cases as a prognostic indica...<br/><br/>P Lalaki, K Markou, M G Tsalighopoulos, I Daniilidis (2001) <i>Scand Audiol Suppl</i> <i></i> <i></i> : 52 141-145<br/>

Seventy-two young males suffering from acute acoustic trauma with tinnitus due to gunshots were included prospectively in the study. Forty of the subjects had the left ear affected, four the right ear and the remaining 28 sustained bilateral acoustic traumas. The mean time of admission after onset of symptoms was 28 days (5-88 days).
