[Perineal necrotizing cellulitis disclosing rectal adenocarcinoma].
Abstract: We report one case of rectal cancer disclosed by a perineal cellulitis in a diabetic woman. This infrequent association has a bad prognosis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical. Treatment is urgent with large spectrum antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement,...
Hyperoxygenation enhances the tumor cell killing of photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy.
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia, either preexisting or as a result of oxygen depletion during photodynamic therapy (PDT) light irradiation, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of PDT-induced cell killing. To overcome tumor hypoxia and improve tumor cell killing, we...
Re: The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in ischaemic diabetic lower extremity ulcers: a double-blind randomised-controlled trial.
Abstract: Mills, Harding (2004). Re: The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in ischaemic diabetic lower extremity ulcers: a double-blind randomised-controlled trial. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society...
[Therapeutic management of necrotizing neck infections].
Abstract: Necrotizing neck infections are uncommon soft-tissue infections, usually caused by virulent, toxin producing bacteria. Necrotizing fasciitis represents a special form of necrotizing soft tissue infection with a mortality rate of up to 76% even though...
Haemodynamic effects of hyperbaric hyperoxia in healthy volunteers: an echocardiographic and Doppler study.
Abstract: In the present study, we observed the haemodynamic changes, using echocardiography and Doppler, in ten healthy volunteers during 6 h of compression in a hyperbaric chamber with a protocol designed to reproduce the conditions as near as possible to a real...
Extra-oral craniofacial endosseous implants and radiotherapy.
Abstract: This paper discusses the use of extra-oral endosseous craniofacial implant (EOECI) therapy in irradiated bone. The survival rate of EOECIs in irradiated bone is reviewed and the controversy over the optimal time prior to place implants is described. The...
Treatment for postoperative liver failure after major hepatectomy under hepatic total vascular exclusion.
Abstract: Hepatic total vascular exclusion (HTVE) with clamping of the portal triad and the inferior vena cava below and above the liver is a useful technique in the resection of major hepatic lesions situated close to the hepatic veins and inferior vena cava. From...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of diabetic foot ulcers, transcutaneous oxymetry in clinical decision making.
Abstract: The foot ulcer is one of most common and devastating complications of diabetes and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The major causes of these ulcers are ischemia/hypoxia, neuropathy, and infection, and they often coexist. Despite...
