[Gas gangrene due to Clostridium septicum in a patient with an occult colonic neoplasm. A case report and review of the literature].
Abstract: A case of gaseous gangrene by Clostridium septicum associated with colorectal cancer is presented. The patient evolved rapidly towards septic shock and death. Autopsy showed occult neoplasm and pelvic and retroperitoneal myonecrosis. An exceptional finding...
Titanium osseointegrated implants combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in previously irradiated mandibles.
Abstract: Treatment for head and neck malignancies commonly involves radiation therapy. As a result of this therapy the vascular supply to irradiated structures is altered and results in decreased tissue perfusion. In addition to vascular changes, bony structures...
Erythropoietin gene regulation depends on heme-dependent oxygen sensing and assembly of interacting transcription factors.
Abstract: Studies on erythropoietin (Epo) gene expression have been useful in investigating the mechanism by which cells and tissues sense hypoxia. Both in vivo and in Hep3B cells. Epo production is induced not only by hypoxia but also by certain transition metal...
Clinically silent microemboli in patients with artificial prosthetic aortic valves are predominantly gaseous and not solid.
Abstract: Microembolic signals (MES) are frequently observed by transcranial Doppler ultrasound after prosthetic heart valve implantation. Whether these MES are due to solid or gaseous particles is uncertain. We hypothesized that MES are gaseous and that if they are...
Peptostreptococcal myonecrosis of extraperitoneal origin–a life-threatening complication of pelvic ring disruption.
Abstract: This report illustrates the clinical and pathological findings of anaerobic streptococcal myonecrosis following extraperitoneal rectal injury in a 28-year-old patient with traumatic pelvic ring disruption. Four days following admission, the patient underwent...

[Necrotizing fasciitis cause by beta-hemolytic streptococci with fatal outcome–a case report].
Abstract: The authors report two cases of necrotizing fascilitis (NF) occurring after surgical interventions on the breast (reduction mammoplasty in one patient and mastectomy for breast cancer in the other). In both cases the etiologic agent were group A pyogenic...
