Dental extractions and radiotherapy in head and neck oncology: review of the literature.
Abstract: Management of irradiated patients with cancer in the head and neck region represents a challenge for multidisciplinary teams. Radiotherapy promotes cellular and vascular decrease that results in a low response rate in the healing. Consequently, surgical...
Mechanism of ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning involves upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha and erythropoietin in rats.
Abstract: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning on the molecular mechanisms of neuroprotection in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model. Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with HBO (100% O(2), 2 atmospheres absolute, 1 h once...
Evaluation of hardware-related complications in vascularized bone grafts with locking mandibular reconstruction plate fixation.
Abstract: To identify the incidence of hardware and bone-healing complications in patients who underwent locking mandibular reconstruction plate (LMRP) fixation of vascularized bone grafts for reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects. Case series. Academic...
Microbiological evaluation of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on periodontal disease.
Abstract: The term periodontitis indicates a variety of clinical manifestations of infectious disorders in which the supporting tissues of the teeth are attacked. The initiation and progression of periodontal disease are attributed to the presence of elevated levels...
Procalcitonin as a diagnostic aid in diabetic foot infections.
Abstract: The diagnosis of diabetic foot infection (DFI) is usually a challenge to the clinician. Procalcitonin (PCT), a 116-amino acid propeptide of calcitonin, is a new marker of bacterial infections and sepsis. We evaluated the serum value of PCT as a marker of...
Hyperbaric oxygenation for tumour sensitisation to radiotherapy: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
Abstract: Radiotherapy is a well-established treatment for some solid tumours. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may improve radiotherapeutic killing of hypoxic cancer cells, so the simultaneous administration of radiotherapy and HBO may reduce mortality and tumour...
Effects of a 3‐day fast on regional lipid and glucose metabolism in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue
Abstract Fasting is characterized by increased whole body lipolysis and lipid oxidation, decreased glucose oxidation and insulin resistance. To identify the regional sources and underlying mechanisms, we studied 10 healthy male volunteers post-absorptively and after...
Does hyperbaric oxygen administration decrease side effect and improve quality of life after pelvic radiation?
Abstract: to evaluate the influence of HBOT to the side effect and quality of life after pelvic radiation. this is an open randomized, parallel, prospective study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oncology Division and Department of Radiotherapy....
