Nonpharmacologic treatment of migraine.
Abstract: Nonpharmacologic treatment of migraine is often used by patients and can provide interesting options for physicians. Knowledge about the evidence and its absence is important. Avoidance of trigger factors can help, if individualized. Behavioral approaches,...
Acute and severe hypobaric hypoxia increases oxidative stress and impairs mitochondrial function in mouse skeletal muscle
Abstract Severe high-altitude hypoxia exposure is considered a triggering stimulus for redox disturbances at distinct levels of cellular organization. The effect of an in vivo acute and severe hypobaric hypoxic insult (48 h at a pressure equivalent to 8,500 m) on...
[Hemodynamic repercussions of exaggerated lithotomy position for vaginal hysterectomy in cardiac patient: case report.].
Abstract: Vaginal hysterectomy shortens surgery duration and may be performed with neuraxial block, which promotes better postoperative analgesia and lower systemic response to surgical procedure. This report aimed at describing hemodynamic changes promoted by...

alpha-Lipoic acid supplementation inhibits oxidative damage, accelerating chronic wound healing in patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is successfully used for the treatment of a variety of conditions. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of oxygen induces production of reactive oxygen species, causing damage to the cells. Thus, antioxidant...
Aseptic osteonecrosis in children and adolescents treated for hemato-oncologic diseases: a 13-year longitudinal observational study.
Abstract: Aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) is a serious long-term complication of childhood cancer therapy. A retrospective study was undertaken to describe treatment and long-term follow-up of patients with AON. Between 1990 and 2003, 630 consecutive children with various...
A simplified technique for implantation of left ventricular epicardial leads for biventricular re-synchronization using video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS).
Abstract: Cardiac re-synchronization therapy for treatment of heart failure requires transvenous insertion of both a right ventricular and left ventricular pacing lead. Implantation of the latter by way of the coronary sinus often fails. Therefore, alternative...
Osseointegration in irradiated cancer patients: an analysis with respect to implant failures.
Abstract: This study retrospectively evaluated implant survival of 631 osseointegrated implants installed in irradiated cancer patients over a 25-year period. The files of 107 patients followed since 1979 were evaluated. Factors influencing implant survival as...
