Osteonecrosis of the jaw after a single bisphosphonate infusion in a patient with metastatic renal cancer treated with sunitinib.
Abstract: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is recognised as an important adverse effect of intravenous bisphosphonates. Recent reports have suggested that antiangiogenic agents may promote the development of this condition. We report a case of ONJ occurring within days...

The impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on serological values of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is an effective adjunct treatment for ischemic disorders such as chronic infection or chronic wounds. It combines hyperoxic effects with the stimulating potential of post-therapeutic reactive hypoxia. As its crucial effects,...
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging of lymphatics in head and neck lymphedema.
Abstract: Lymphedema is a complication that may occur after surgical resection and radiation treatment in a number of cancer types and is especially debilitating in regions where treatment options are limited. Although upper and lower extremity lymphedema may be...
Incidence and prevention of osteoradionecrosis after dental extraction in irradiated patients: a systematic review.
Abstract: This systematic review aims to identify and review the best available evidence to answer the clinical question 'What are the incidence and the factors influencing the development of osteoradionecrosis after tooth extraction in irradiated patients?'. A...
Safe spinal anesthesia in a woman with chronic renal failure and placenta previa.
Abstract: Chronic renal failure is strongly associated with poor pregnancy outcome. Women dependent on hemodialysis before conception rarely achieve a successful live birth. A 31-year-old multiparous Turkish woman was scheduled for cesarean section under spinal...
