Targeting lurking pathogens in acute traumatic and chronic wounds.
Abstract: The appropriate antimicrobial treatment for skin and soft tissue following acute trauma is determined by the mechanism of injury, time from injury to treatment, environmental wound contamination, pathogenicity of colonizing bacteria, and patient-specific...
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and age.
Abstract: Apopotic cell death is reported to be prominent in the stable tissues of the failing heart, in cardiomyopathies (CM), in the sinus node of complete heart block, in B cells of diabetes mellitus, and in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, mitochondrial (mt)...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Radiation therapy has been used successfully to treat pelvic malignancy but morbidity from hemorrhagic cystitis remains a major long-term sequela in 1 to 2% of patients. Obliterative endarteritis secondary to ionizing radiation leads to tissue hypoxia and...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) after acute focal cerebral ischemia].
Abstract: For a large number of patients with stroke no therapeutic option can be offered, even after approval of thrombolytic therapy for treatment of acute ischemic stroke in the US. In cerebral ischemia local anoxia and energy failure lead to further cellular...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for symptomatic breast edema after radiation therapy.
Abstract: A 54-yr-old woman with a pT2pN0 breast cancer developed a long-standing symptomatic breast edema after lumpectomy and radiation therapy. The breast edema did not respond to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and manual lymph drainage of her arm....
Repeated transient neurological symptoms after spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lidocaine.
Abstract: We report a case of repeated delayed pain after cystoscopy under spinal lidocaine anaesthesia, which may be caused by transient radicular irritation. The possible aetiology of the symptoms is discussed. Panadero, Monedero, Fernandez-Liesa, Percaz, Olavide,...
