Neurotrauma research in Taiwan.
Abstract: Because of the rapid industrial and economic growth, Taiwan and other developing countries have faced an enormous increase in the number of motorcycles, which has subsequently caused a rapid increase of the motorcycle-related traumatic brain injuries (TBI)....
Hyperoxia, endothelial progenitor cell mobilization, and diabetic wound healing.
Abstract: Diabetic foot disease is a major health problem, which affects 15% of the 200 million patients with diabetes worldwide. Diminished peripheral blood flow and decreased local neovascularization are critical factors that contribute to the delayed or nonhealing...

Barotraumatic orbital emphysema of rhinogenic origin in a breath-hold diver: a case report.
Abstract: Orbital emphysema is a well-recognized complication of fractures involving the orbit. Commonly, it occurs when high pressure develops in nasal cavity as during nose blowing, coughing or Valsalva's maneuver and usually occurs in the subcutaneous tissues. We...
Chemorefractory rhabdomyosarcoma treated with radiotherapy, bevacizumab, statins and surgery and maintenance with bevacizumab and chemotherapy.
Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare disease in children and young adults, usually responsive to chemotherapy. Here we report on a patient with chemorefractory disease, treated in an unconventional approach. A young woman presented with an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma...
How to make a hospital-based wound center financially viable: the Georgetown University Hospital model.
Abstract: As the medical need and expenditure for chronic wound care have increased markedly over the past decade, wound centers have grown exponentially throughout the country. They can be community-based or hospital-based, and in either case, can be run by the...
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis following lupus enteritis and peritonitis.
Abstract: We describe a case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with enteritis and peritonitis who later developed pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI). A 35-year-old woman with SLE relapsed with enteritis and peritonitis. Prednisolone (PSL) effectively...
The effect of monochromatic infrared energy on transcutaneous oxygen measurements and protective sensation: results of a controlled, double-blind, randomized clinical study.
Abstract: Monochromatic infrared energy has been reported to restore protective sensation by increasing circulation. A controlled, double-blind, quasi-experimental, randomized clinical study was conducted to 1) examine the effects of monochromatic infrared energy...
