Micturitional disturbance in radiation myelopathy.
Abstract: Detailed micturitional histories and urodynamic studies were performed in five patients with radiation myelopathy. All patients had micturitional symptoms that were irritative in five and obstructive in four, and four had urinary incontinence. Urodynamic...
Therapeutic experience of hyperbaric oxygenation in radiation colitis. Report of a case.
Abstract: The usefulness of the hyperbaric oxygenation in a patient with radiation colitis was evaluated. The patient had severe bleeding from the large bowel which resulted from a pelvic radiation therapy for prostatic carcinoma and was histologically diagnosed as...
Closure of bronchial defects using a pedicled pericardial flap.
Abstract: A technique for closure of lateral or terminal defects in the bronchial wall after tissue-saving procedures, which obviates the need for sleeve resection in few selected situations, is described. Its main advantages are a low risk of surgical complications...
Management of chronic and problem lower extremity wounds.
Abstract: With simple, inexpensive therapy, virtually all venous ulcers heal without the need for hospitalization, skin grafting, growth factors, hyperbaric oxygen, or debilitating bed rest. Although the future promises to yield a greater understanding about the...
Organization and development of a university multidisciplinary wound care clinic.
Abstract: A multidisciplinary wound care clinic was established to diagnose and treat patients with nonhealing ulcers of the lower extremity. The clinic was organized under the direction of the departments of vascular surgery and dermatology with support by the...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen as adjunct therapy to surgical debridement of complicated wounds.
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is expanding as research continues to validate its use in a variety of chronic and acute illnesses. High-dose oxygen, delivered under pressures greater than sea level, enables the body to increase diffusion of oxygen into...
Hyperbaric oxygen and perineal Crohn’s disease: a follow-up.

Effect of a single exposure to hyperbaric oxygen on blood mononuclear cells in human subjects
Abstract We studied the effect of a single exposure to a therapeutic profile of hyperbaric oxygen on blood mononuclear cell subset. Twenty healthy volunteers were exposed to 0.28 MPa for 90 min. Thirteen breathed pure oxygen and seven were control subjects exposed to...
