Depression in multiple sclerosis: A review
Abstract Several studies have reported high rates of depression in multiple sclerosis (MS) with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 50% and an annual prevalence of 20% not uncommon. Concern about the potential of new drug treatments to exacerbate or precipitate...
Management of extensive osteoradionecrosis of the mandible with radical resection and immediate microvascular reconstruction.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe and devastating late complication of radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer. Management of ORN remains controversial and the current approach has been focused on debridement, systemic antibiotics, and...

Nonpharmacologic treatment of migraine.
Abstract: Nonpharmacologic treatment of migraine is often used by patients and can provide interesting options for physicians. Knowledge about the evidence and its absence is important. Avoidance of trigger factors can help, if individualized. Behavioral approaches,...
Acute and severe hypobaric hypoxia increases oxidative stress and impairs mitochondrial function in mouse skeletal muscle
Abstract Severe high-altitude hypoxia exposure is considered a triggering stimulus for redox disturbances at distinct levels of cellular organization. The effect of an in vivo acute and severe hypobaric hypoxic insult (48 h at a pressure equivalent to 8,500 m) on...
[Hemodynamic repercussions of exaggerated lithotomy position for vaginal hysterectomy in cardiac patient: case report.].
Abstract: Vaginal hysterectomy shortens surgery duration and may be performed with neuraxial block, which promotes better postoperative analgesia and lower systemic response to surgical procedure. This report aimed at describing hemodynamic changes promoted by...

alpha-Lipoic acid supplementation inhibits oxidative damage, accelerating chronic wound healing in patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is successfully used for the treatment of a variety of conditions. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of oxygen induces production of reactive oxygen species, causing damage to the cells. Thus, antioxidant...
Aseptic osteonecrosis in children and adolescents treated for hemato-oncologic diseases: a 13-year longitudinal observational study.
Abstract: Aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) is a serious long-term complication of childhood cancer therapy. A retrospective study was undertaken to describe treatment and long-term follow-up of patients with AON. Between 1990 and 2003, 630 consecutive children with various...
