Abstract: Bisphophonates (BP) were first named diphosphonates. They are potent inhibitors of osteoclastic activity and so reduce bone remodeling. Additionally they have anti-angiogenic properties and contribute to progressive disappearance of bony micro-vascular blood...
Abstract: Epidural abscesses in children are extremely rare, especially in the posterior fossa. In some cases antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage are insufficient for complete healing. We present the case of an 8-month-old boy who developed an epidural abscess in...
Abstract: The presence of air in the subcutaneous tissue of an extremity constitutes a fearful finding because of the potential devastating consequences for both the extremity and life of the patient. The authors present herein a rare case of self-induced subcutaneous...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the survival, pattern of failure, morbidity, and prognostic factors of concurrent chemoradiation for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. A retrospective survey of patients who underwent chemotherapy and radiation for...
Abstract: Previous studies have suggested that radiation therapy does not impact local complication rates after microvascular free flap (MVFF) reconstruction for head and neck cancer. There is little data, however, indicating whether or not the presence of...
Abstract: Cerebral hypoxia may be the main component of cell damage caused by ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated a neuroprotective effect of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment in various animal models of focal cerebral ischemia. Neuropathologic study showed...
Abstract: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are the key cellular effectors of postnatal vasculogenesis and play a central role in wound healing. In diabetes, there is a significant impairment in the number and function of circulating and wound-tissue EPC. Recent...
Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treatment of severe refractory radiation-induced hemorrhagic proctitis. Nine patients with median age 75 (range, 66-83) treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at University of Cincinnati were reviewed....
Abstract: This review addresses the many ways that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been found to mitigate immune reactions, many of which are involved in rejection of allograft transplants, and thus offers a rationale for its possible use as an adjunct to help preserve...
