Craniofacial osseointegration.
Abstract: Craniofacial osseointegration has been hailed as the most significant advance in maxillofacial prosthetic restoration over 25 years. It provides a particularly unfortunate group of patients, who previously may have had few treatment options, with new...
Hyperbaric oxygen for treatment of closed head injury.
Abstract: Traumatic and vascular brain injuries consist of acute episodes followed by development of chronic components of varying magnitude and duration whose potentials for recovery differ. We discuss a case of closed head injury in which interventional hyperbaric...
[Effects of hyperoxia regimes on the state of lipid peroxidation and hemostasis in patients with lesions of the central nervous system].
Abstract: Lipid peroxidation and some parameters of hemostasis were studied during exposure to various hyperoxia schemes combined with heparin therapy before and after treatment in 124 patients aged 16 to 69 with CNS involvement which developed as a result of...
The AO unreamed tibial nail: a 14-month follow-up of the 1992 TT experience.
Abstract: This paper reports early experiences with the immediate use of the AO unreamed tibial nail, the immediate complications and the 14 months follow-up of 13 patients with Gustilo grades I, II and IIIa open tibial fractures. The nail insertion technique was...
Hyperbaric oxygen for treatment of closed head injury.
Abstract: Traumatic and vascular brain injuries consist of acute episodes followed by development of chronic components of varying magnitude and duration whose potentials for recovery differ. We discuss a case of closed head injury in which interventional hyperbaric...
Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of the diabetic foot.
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of conditions of local or focal hypoxia is not new. The author discusses the potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of chronic wounds when used as a part of a multidisciplinary wound...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the successful treatment of two cases of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis].
Abstract: Hemorrhagic cystitis resulting from radiation to pelvic visceral malignant lesions often might be incurable and there have been established no definitive treatment. We experienced 2 cases with radiation-induced severe hemorrhagic cystitis refractory to...
Space shuttle flight (STS-45) of L8 myoblast cells results in the isolation of a nonfusing cell line variant.
Abstract: Myoblast cell cultures have been widely employed in conventional (1g) studies of biological processes because characteristics of intact muscle can be readily observed in these cultured cells. We decided to investigate the effects of spaceflight on muscle by...
Successful treatment of extensive posttraumatic soft-tissue and renal infections due to Apophysomyces elegans.
Abstract: We describe the clinical course and successful treatment of a previously healthy man who, after experiencing trauma, presented with severe cutaneous mucormycosis due to Apophysomyces elegans and subsequently developed secondary renal infection. A...
