The effect of incubation of rectal biopsies on measures of proliferation using proliferating cell nuclear antigen in comparison with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine.
Abstract: Rectal epithelial cell kinetics are used as intermediate markers for colorectal cancer and relate to risk. In this study, measures of proliferation using direct immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were compared to in vitro...
Life-saving muscle flaps in tracheobronchial dehiscence following resection or trauma.
Abstract: In the presence of acute inflammation and necrosis of the wall, tracheo-bronchial defects are difficult to manage. The absence of adequate vascularization and the contaminated area prevent successful direct re-suturing. In order to restore a sufficient blood...
Risk factors for pulmonary barotrauma in divers.
Abstract: Pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) of ascent is a feared complication in compressed air diving. Although certain respiratory conditions are thought to increase the risk of suffering PBT and thus should preclude diving, in most cases of PBT, risk factors are...
Risk factors for pulmonary barotrauma in divers.
Abstract: Pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) of ascent is a feared complication in compressed air diving. Although certain respiratory conditions are thought to increase the risk of suffering PBT and thus should preclude diving, in most cases of PBT, risk factors are...
Recurrent pulmonary barotrauma in scuba diving and the risks of future hyperbaric exposures: a case report.
Abstract: A 27-yr-old male scuba diving student suffered two episodes of pulmonary barotrauma 6 mo. apart after 12-ft training scuba dives. In the interval between these episodes, four uneventful hyperbaric chamber dives occurred. No definite cause or risk factors...
[The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on ophthalmic artery blood velocity in patients with diabetic neuropathy].
Abstract: We investigated changes in the blood velocity of the ophthalmic artery to observe its relationship to the complication of diabetes mellitus before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Color Doppler imaging (Toshiba, SSA-260A) was used. In this study,...
Chronic radiation proctitis treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Chronic proctitis is a well-known complication of therapeutic irradiation. The results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) used in the treatment of chronic radiation proctitis are reported. From 1992 to 1995, 14 patients with chronic radiation-induced...
Evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen for diabetic wounds: a prospective study.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on the healing of diabetic lower extremity wounds. Ten consecutive insulin-dependent diabetic patients with chronic lower extremity wounds were referred for HBO2...
