Abstract: The chronic irradiated scalp wound remains one of the most difficult reconstructions for the plastic surgeon. With its inherent radiodermatitis and poor healing potential, chronic ulcers down to bone will result if coverage cannot be achieved. Reconstructive...
Abstract: Numerous operations have been described to address the unilateral cleft lip deformity. One area that has not received significant attention is the deficient join between the nasal ala and the upper lip. Several surgeons have advocated detaching the ala and...

Abstract: During tumor surgery of the upper respiratory and digestive tract, pharyngocutaneuos fistulas may occur postoperatively. Predisposing factors are tissue disorders, as can be seen after radiation therapy or wound infections. The aim of this study was to...
MS is a disease in which manifestations wax and wane, and which is not immediately fatal (and sometimes not at all), and proving or disproving the therapeutic worth of an intervention can be frustratingly difficult. The response of multiple sclerosis (MS) to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy falls into this category. The letter of James and Perrins [see page 236] takes the pro- HBO2 point of view in direct opposition to a recent editorial by Dr. Jacoby in the Journal (1). The dispute has unaccountably become both polarized and emotional, reminiscent of other medical debates, which were finally resolved by carefully designed outcome studies. If, on the basis of current evidence, HBO2 therapy for MS can be neither accepted nor dismissed out of hand, there are two time-tested ways of approaching the truth. One is to perform comprehensive reviews of all available data, which has been done by Bennett and Heard (2). Although the authors failed to find an effect of HBO2, they left open the possibility that HBO2 might be effective for some subsets of patients, perhaps using prolonged treatment.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton is a serious and debilitating complication that can occur following radiation therapy in the head and neck. Patients require effective treatment, which eradicates diseased tissue and restores...
Abstract Aims: To determine whether fatigue and need for recovery are risk factors for being injured in an occupational accident. Methods: These associations were investigated within the Maastricht Cohort Study of "Fatigue at Work", a prospective cohort study of...
Abstract: ischaemic lower-extremity ulcers in the diabetic population are a source of major concern because of the associated high risk of limb-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the management of these...
Abstract Objective: To assess whether, in children, oral magnesium oxide reduces migrainous headache frequency, severity, and associated features compared to placebo. Background: There is no single, safe, widely well-tolerated, and effective prophylactic treatment for...
