Abstract: Concerns of cauda equina syndrome have discouraged clinicians to use 5% lidocaine for continuous spinal anesthesia. Earlier reports indicated that single-shot spinal lidocaine 0.5% is effective for minor gynecologic and perianal surgery. In the present...

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on growth and chemosensitivity of metastatic prostate cancer.
Abstract: Currently, advanced prostate cancer (CaP) is not curable. In this report hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is examined as an adjuvant to chemotherapy and as a stand-alone treatment. CaP cell monolayers grown under normoxic conditions were exposed to cisplatin, taxol...
Functional and ultrastructural evidence of myocardial stunning after acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: To study human myocardial ultrastructural changes after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning inducing reversible cardiac failure. clinical, functional and morphologic findings. Public university-affiliated hospital and electron microscopy laboratory. Tritapepe,...
Dental extractions after radiation therapy in the head and neck area and hard tissue replacement (HTR) therapy: a preliminary study.
Abstract: Dental extractions in patients who had radiation therapy for cancer in the head and neck region carry with them the risks of delayed healing, prolonged alveolar bone exposure, infection, and osteoradionecrosis. Among the precautions to minimize these risks...
Change in major amputation rate in a center dedicated to diabetic foot care during the 1980s: prognostic determinants for major amputation.
Abstract: From 1990 to 1993, 115 diabetic patients were consecutively hospitalized in our diabetologic unit for foot ulcer and 27 (23.5%) major amputations were carried out. The major amputation rate of this series of cases was compared with that occurring in diabetic...

CD34+AC133+ cells isolated from cord blood are highly enriched in long-term culture-initiating cells, NOD/SCID-repopulating cells and dendritic cell progenitors.
The AC133 antigen is a novel antigen selectively expressed on a subset of CD34+ cells in human fetal liver, bone marrow, and blood as demonstrated by flow cytometric analyses.
In this study, we have further assessed the expression of AC133 on CD34+ cells in hemopoietic samples and found that there was a highly significant difference between normal bone marrow and cord blood versus aphereses (p <0.0001) but not between bone marrow and cord blood. Most of the clonogenic cells (67%) were contained in the CD34+AC133+ fraction. Compared with cultures of the CD34+AC133- cells, generation of progenitor cells in long-term culture on bone marrow stroma was consistently 10- to 100-fold higher in cultures initiated with CD34+AC133+ cells and was maintained for the 8-10 weeks of culture.
