[Reimbursement and importance of hyperbaric oxygenation for diabetic foot ulcers in German publically funded ambulatory health care].
Abstract: The Standing Committee of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and Sickness Funds is the legal body that makes decisions on reimbursement for health care services in the German ambulatory health care sector. In 1994, the Committee declined the reimbursement...
Multiple occlusive retinal arteritis in both eyes of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
Abstract: To report multiple occlusive retinal arteritis as a complication of rheumatoid arthritis. A 67-year-old woman developed superotemporal branch retinal artery occlusion in both eyes, together with arterial sheathing and large cotton wool patches around the...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning induces neuroprotection against ischemia in transient not permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model.
Abstract: This study was designed to determine if repeated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) exposure induces ischemic tolerance in focal cerebral ischemia. Sixty male SD rats were used in this study. Thirty animals underwent transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)...
[Fournier syndrome: multidisciplinary approach].
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene, a form of necrotizing fasciitis, is an uncommon, fulminant, rapidly progressing subcutaneous infection of the scrotum and genito-perineal region, and may occur in all age groups. Most cases involve a mixed synergistic infection of...

Learned self-regulation of EEG frequency components affects attention and event-related brain potentials in humans
Abstract Learned enhancement of EEG frequency components in the lower beta range by means of biofeedback has been reported to alleviate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. In order to elucidate frequency-specific behavioural effects and...
Does new photosensitizer improve photodynamic therapy in advanced esophageal carcinoma?
Abstract: Polyhematoporphyrin (Photosan) as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in advanced esophageal cancer carry the risk of prolonged photosensitivity of the skin. New sensitizers such as 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) with low rates of skin phototoxicity...
