An ultrasound wearable system for the monitoring and acceleration of fracture healing in long bones

Protopappas, V. C.; Baga, D. A.; Fotiadis, D. I.; Likas, A. C.; Papachristos, A. A.; Malizos, K. N. (2005)

An ultrasound wearable system for remote monitoring and acceleration of the healing process in fractured long bones is presented. The so-called USBone system consists of a pair of ultrasound transducers, implanted into the ...

Lack of association of single nucleotide polymorphism in LRCH1 with knee osteoarthritis susceptibility

Jiang, Q.; Shi, D.; Nakajima, M.; Dai, J.; Wei, J.; Malizos, K. N.; Qin, J.; Miyamoto, Y.; Kamatani, N.; Liu, B.; Tsezou, A.; Nakamura, T.; Ikegawa, S. (2008)

A genetic association of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and a C/T transition single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs912428) located in intron 1 of the LRCH1 gene has recently been reported in European Caucasians; however, the ...

Lower fibroblast growth factor 23 levels in young adults with crohn disease as a possible secondary compensatory effect on the disturbance of bone and mineral metabolism

Oikonomou, K. A.; Orfanidou, T. I.; Vlychou, M. K.; Kapsoritakis, A. N.; Tsezou, A.; Malizos, K. N.; Potamianos, S. P. (2014)

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a bone-derived circulating phosphaturic factor that decreases serum concentration of phosphate and vitamin D, suggested to actively participate in a complex renal-gastrointestinal-skeletal ...

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3 and extracellular inorganic phosphate activate mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway through fibroblast growth factor 23 contributing to hypertrophy and mineralization in osteoarthritic chondrocytes

Orfanidou, T.; Malizos, K. N.; Varitimidis, S.; Tsezou, A. (2012)

Hypertrophy and impaired mineralization are two processes closely associated with osteoarthritis (OA). 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 (1a,25(OH)(2)D-3) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are two important factors that are implicated ...

Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle: case report and review of the literature

Zibis, A. H.; Giannis, D.; Malizos, K. N.; Kitsioulis, P.; Arvanitis, D. L. (2013)

Purpose Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle (or retropharyngeal tendinitis) is an aseptic inflammatory process characterized by acute posterior neck pain, neck stiffness and dysphagia or odynophagia. ...

The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?

Zalavras, C. G.; Vartholomatos, G.; Dokou, E.; Malizos, K. N. (2004)

Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ...

Factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutations in femoral head osteonecrosis

Zalavras, C. G.; Vartholomatos, G.; Dokou, E.; Malizos, K. N. (2002)

Reconstruction of a neglected posterior dislocation of the shoulder through a limited posterior deltoid-splitting approach: A case report

Karachalios, T.; Bargiotas, K.; Papachristos, A.; Malizos, K. N. (2005)

The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis

Papathanasiou, I.; Malizos, K. N.; Poultsides, L.; Karachalios, T.; Oikonomou, P.; Tsezou, A. (2011)

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components. Our objective was to investigate the role of 'PLR-2 mediated by the NF-kappa B pathway in septic arthritic ...

EFFECT OF TRANSOSSEOUS APPLICATION OF LOW-INTENSITY ULTRASOUND AT THE TENDON GRAFT-BONE INTERFACE HEALING: GENE EXPRESSION AND HISTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN RABBITS

Papatheodorou, L. K.; Malizos, K. N.; Poultsides, L. A.; Hantes, M. E.; Grafanaki, K.; Giannouli, S.; Ioannou, M. G.; Koukoulis, G. K.; Protopappas, V. C.; Fotiadis, D. I.; Stathopoulos, C. (2009)

The present study investigates the effect of transosseous low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LiUS) on the healing at tendon graft-bone interface, in molecular and histological level. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in ...
