Abstract: This paper reviews all 17 cases of facial bone osteoradionecrosis (ORN) which were treated in Adelaide, South Australia, in a nine-year period (1987 1996). This was 1.2% of all cases of head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy (RT). Fourteen cases...
Abstract: Necrotic/gangrenous wounds lack adequate blood supply and develop further vascular damage from either reperfusion injury or oxygen toxicity when exposed to oxygen at the wrong pressures. A prospective randomized study was performed to confirm the efficacy of...
Abstract: Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a relatively new modality in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome. The purpose of this study was to examine our experience with inhaled NO in 10 adult patients with burn injuries and acute respiratory distress...
Abstract: We examined the effect of radiotherapy after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) breathing in experimental tumors using a tumor growth delay assay. Tumor models used were SCCVII (radiobiological hypoxic fraction: approximately 10%) and 9L tumors (containing less hypoxic...
Abstract: Various reports in the literature have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) reduces cerebral infarction both in animals and humans. After the initial ischemic insult, however, initiating HBO treatment at different intervals has yielded conflicting results. The...
Abstract: Recent controversy with the use of intrathecal lidocaine has prompted the search for suitable ambulatory surgery alternatives. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical utility of intrathecal low-dose bupivacaine for outpatient transvaginal...
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in predicting neurological recovery in patients with spinal cord injury was evaluated. HBO has been used to treat spinal cord injury, but HBO does not appear to greatly alter the neurological outcome. This...
