Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a complex metabolic and tissue homeostatic deficiency created by radiation-induced tissue injury. Although infection was initially felt to play an important role in its pathogenesis, the role of microorganisms has been relegated...

Hyperbaric oxygen: primary treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Of 8 patients with symptoms of advanced cystitis due to pelvic radiation treated with hyperbaric oxygen 7 are persistently improved during followup. All 6 patients treated for gross hematuria requiring hospitalization have been free of symptoms for an...
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw bones at the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
Abstract: There is disagreement over the management of teeth in irradiated head and neck cancer patients. Some oral surgeons support preirradiation extraction; others favor maintaining teeth. Before 1974, The University of Kentucky Department of Radiation Medicine...
[Clinical observation of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw].
Abstract: Clinical observations and investigations on 48 patients treated in a 15-year period were presented. From the studying results of radionuclide scintigraphic examination we raised a new opinion that the bone in diseased area had its rich blood supply and...
Complications and protocol considerations in carbon monoxide-poisoned patients who require hyperbaric oxygen therapy: report from a ten-year experience.
Abstract: We conducted a study to determine the type, incidence, and timing of complications that occur in patients who have a carbon monoxide (CO) exposure serious enough to require hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Complication data were retrospectively collected...

Criteria for bone debridement in massive lower limb trauma.
Abstract: Adequate debridement remains the most important factor in prevention of chronic sepsis in cases of massive lower limb trauma. Despite treatment with chronic antibiotics, muscle flaps, hyperbaric oxygen, and/or free-tissue transfer, failures are common due to...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the status of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in chronic circulatory insufficiency in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].
Abstract: The study performed in 54 elderly patients with first and second degree chronic heart failure (CHF) during hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has revealed normalization of plasma renin activity, possibly, associated with improved renal blood flow. HBO also...
