Implant prosthodontic rehabilitation of fibula free-flap reconstructed mandibles: a Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center review of prognostic factors and implant outcomes.
Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the cumulative survival rates (CSRs) of implants placed in reconstructed mandibles and to identify prognostic factors that may influence implant survival. The charts of 24 patients (10 male, 14 female) who had undergone...
Phototherapy and malignancy: possible enhancement by iron administration and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of malignant tumors. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) shows beneficial effects in various modalities of cancer interventions. Tumor cells tend to accumulate large amount of iron. There is...

Hyperoxic and hyperbaric-induced cardioprotection: role of nitric oxide synthase 3.
Abstract: The relative contributions of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) and atmospheric pressure (ATM) to cardioprotection are unknown. We determined whether the product of FIO2 x ATM (oxygen partial pressure) controls the extent of hyperoxic+hyperbaric-induced...
Intrathecal midazolam combined with low-dose bupivacaine improves postoperative recovery in diabetic mellitus patients undergoing foot debridement.
Abstract: Intrathecal midazolam acts synergically with other anesthetics to relieve surgical pain, and the drug combination may decrease complications attributable to each component drug. This prospective study was to determine the spinal effects of low-dose of...
Hyperbaric oxygenation for tumour sensitisation to radiotherapy.
Abstract: Cancer is common and radiotherapy is one well-established treatment for some solid tumours. HBO may improve the ability of radiotherapy to kill hypoxic cancer cells, so the administration of radiotherapy while breathing HBO may result in a reduction in...
Vitamin C enters mitochondria via facilitative glucose transporter 1 (Glut1) and confers mitochondrial protection against oxidative injury
Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced mitochondrial abnormalities may have important consequences in the pathogenesis of degenerative diseases and cancer. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant known to quench ROS, but its mitochondrial transport and functions...
Physician adoption of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of chronic wounds.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a treatment alternative for chronic wounds, has been used for several decades yet little is known about factors that influence physicians to incorporate this therapy into practice. To assess wound care physician knowledge of,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a meeting place for medicine and dentistry.
Abstract: The hyperbaric medicine facility at Hennepin County Medical Center has been serving patients from throughout the region for more than 40 years. Some of these patients have head and neck cancer and are suffering delayed complications of radiation therapy....
