Vacuum-assisted closure for the treatment of Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a very aggressive necrotizing fasciitis involving subcutaneous fat and skin of scrotal and perineal regions. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a well-known method used to treat complex wounds. The authors for the first time enhance...
Fournier’s gangrene: management at a regional burn center.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) describes necrotizing infections of the perineum in both sexes. Controversies in treatment of FG include the roles of orchiectomy, urinary and/or fecal diversion, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Because burn centers often treat these...
Early radical surgery and antimicrobial therapy with hyperbaric oxygen in necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Anwar, Haque, Rahman, Morris, McDermott, , , , (2008). Early radical surgery and antimicrobial therapy with hyperbaric oxygen in necrotizing fasciitis.ย Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2008...
Dental extractions and radiotherapy in head and neck oncology: review of the literature.
Abstract: Management of irradiated patients with cancer in the head and neck region represents a challenge for multidisciplinary teams. Radiotherapy promotes cellular and vascular decrease that results in a low response rate in the healing. Consequently, surgical...
Mechanism of ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning involves upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha and erythropoietin in rats.
Abstract: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning on the molecular mechanisms of neuroprotection in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model. Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with HBO (100% O(2), 2 atmospheres absolute, 1 h once...
Evaluation of hardware-related complications in vascularized bone grafts with locking mandibular reconstruction plate fixation.
Abstract: To identify the incidence of hardware and bone-healing complications in patients who underwent locking mandibular reconstruction plate (LMRP) fixation of vascularized bone grafts for reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects. Case series. Academic...
Microbiological evaluation of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on periodontal disease.
Abstract: The term periodontitis indicates a variety of clinical manifestations of infectious disorders in which the supporting tissues of the teeth are attacked. The initiation and progression of periodontal disease are attributed to the presence of elevated levels...
Procalcitonin as a diagnostic aid in diabetic foot infections.
Abstract: The diagnosis of diabetic foot infection (DFI) is usually a challenge to the clinician. Procalcitonin (PCT), a 116-amino acid propeptide of calcitonin, is a new marker of bacterial infections and sepsis. We evaluated the serum value of PCT as a marker of...
