[New developments in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers].
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers are frequent: 12,000 Dutch diabetes patients have such an ulcer. The ulcers have a multifactorial aetiology: polyneuropathy, biomechanical stress, infection, deficient footwear and to a less extent ischaemia are the major factors. The...
Does hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) delivery rescue retinal photoreceptors in retinitis pigmentosa?
Abstract: As previously reported in the literature, hyperbaric oxygen delivery seems to modify the natural course of retinitis pigmentosa. In order to evaluate these first encouraging data, 48 affected subjects were separately studied in two subgroups (cases and...
Spinal nerve function in five volunteers experiencing transient neurologic symptoms after lidocaine subarachnoid anesthesia.
Abstract: The etiology of transient neurologic symptoms (TNS) after 5% lidocaine spinal anesthesia remains undetermined. Previous case reports have shown that patients acutely experiencing TNS have no abnormalities on neurologic examination or magnetic resonance...
Age-related changes in the epiglottis causing failure of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Abstract: At 65 years of age, a former coal miner, now 72-years-old, developed a progressive loss of concentration with daytime sleepiness and sleep disturbances. Work-up in pneumological and medical sleep centres resulted in diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary...
Does hyperbaric oxygen enhance the effect of photodynamic therapy in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma? A clinical pilot study.
Abstract: Experimental studies have shown that the cytotoxicity of porphyrins and related substances is mediated mainly by singlet oxygen and that hypoxic cells are less affected by porphyrins and light. In a clinical pilot study we assessed the use of photodynamic...

Hyperbaric oxygen in the prevention of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws.
Abstract: Patients who have had their jaws irradiated as part of management of head and neck malignancy are at risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) following tooth extraction. Thirty-seven patients with a history of irradiation to the jaws were managed during a four year...
[Continuous spinal anesthesia in very elderly patients with high anesthesia risk in traumatologic-orthopedic and general surgery interventions].
Abstract: Continuous spinal anaesthesia (CSA) was carried out via a 28-gauge spinal catheter in 154 surgical patients at the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care at Radeberg Asklepios-ASB Hospital between May 1992 and March 1999. The method was used...
Differential lung ventilation and emergency hyperbaric oxygenation for repair of a tracheal tear.
Abstract: To report the anaesthetic management of a case of tracheal rupture, using different types of ventilation and additional hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). An 8 cm postintubation tracheal tear was repaired in a 66-yr-old woman with acute myocardial reinfarction,...
