Delayed tongue necrosis simultaneous with bilateral osteoradionecrosis of the jaw secondary to head and neck irradiation.
Abstract: We present a rare case of massive tongue necrosis occurring simultaneously with bilateral osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw in a patient with a history of treatment, including surgery and postoperative radiotherapy, for a retromolar trigone carcinoma 8...
Pre-emptive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer may prevent the onset of late radiation tissue injury.
Abstract: Wood, Bennett (2016). Pre-emptive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer may prevent the onset of late radiation tissue injury. Diving and hyperbaric medicine, 2016...
Femoral Vein Cannulation in the Treatment of Osteomyelitis.
Abstract: The main objective was to investigate the feasibil- ity of using the femoral vein for long-term venous access. This was accomplished in the course of treating osteomyelitis patients, using a combination of long-term (6 weeks), outpatient, intravenous (IV)...
Improved detection of clinically relevant wound bacteria using autofluorescence image-guided sampling in diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Clinical wound assessment involves microbiological swabbing of wounds to identify and quantify bacterial species, and to determine microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. The Levine swabbing technique may be suboptimal because it samples only the wound bed,...
Reliability Assessment of an Innovative Wound Score.
Abstract: The authors describe an innovative wound score and demonstrate its versatility for scoring a variety of wound types in addition to diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). To further test its merits, they determined its interobserver reliability in a prospective series...

Deep tissue biopsy vs. superficial swab culture, including microbial loading determination, in the microbiological assessment of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (SSTIs).
Abstract: Thirty-two patients affected by SSTIs including DFIs were enrolled between 2013 and 2014. Superficial swab was obtained before and after cleansing with sterile saline, and after ultrasonic debridement; deep tissue biopsy was obtained from ulcer base. Samples...
