Abstract: Hypoxic clonogenic cells are an important contributory factor in tumour radioresistance. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen enhances tumour radiosensitivity, using a conventionally fractionated irradiation schedule,...
Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to develop a model for studying the chronic effects of radiation on wound healing in the rat. Six months after rats received a single radiation exposure of 20 Gy, a random-pattern dorsal skin flap was elevated. Two weeks...
Abstract: Radiation therapy has widely been used for cancers in the pelvis. Radiation cystitis, one of the late complications, presents often as hemorrhagic cystitis, which is refractory to the conventional therapy and may threaten the patient's life. We used...
Abstract: This 3-month study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on drug-induced neuropathies in 22 patients with human immunodeficiency virus. All patients included in the study had been taking an antiretroviral medication for at least 12 months and had...
Abstract: A survey was undertaken to analyze osseointegrated implants placed in irradiated maxillae and mandibles. It was found that nine centers in Japan and two centers in the United States had placed 228 implants in 44 patients. Of 228 implants, 59 were placed in...
Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the dye-sensitized photooxidation of biological matter in the target tissue, and utilizes light activated drugs for the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies. Skin is a target organ for PDT, because of the...
Abstract: Nipple-sparing total mastectomy remains an alternative for management of patients with high risk breast disease or patients with various types of symptomatic breast problems. In a patient with large breasts, however, achieving good cosmesis while still...
