Cervical necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Nine cases of cervical necrotizing faciitis are presented. Five were odontogenic, three were pharyngeal in origin, and one developed from a soft-tissue spider bite. The bacteriology represented a polyculture of gram-positive, gram-negative, as well as...
Gas gangrene following sacral pressure sores.
Abstract: We report two cases of gas gangrene developed from sacral pressure sores. The first case was clostridial and the second, non-clostridial gas gangrene. Both patients died within two months. The first patient, a 56-year-old woman suffering from palsy of the...
Survival factors in rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis.
Abstract: Mucormycosis is a highly aggressive fungal infection affecting diabetic, immunocompromised, and, occasionally, healthy patients. This infection is associated with significant mortality. We have reviewed 208 cases in the literature since 1970, 139 of which...
The future of extra-oral implantology.
Abstract: In this paper conclusions are drawn from the experiences of subjects presented in the previous studies in this issue. Indications for bone-anchored implants, the percutaneous passage, implant placement in irradiated tissues, and the psychosocial aspects of...
Anesthetic and hemodynamic effects of single bolus versus incremental titration of hyperbaric spinal lidocaine through microcatheter.
Abstract: This study examined anesthetic development and hemodynamic changes during two techniques of hyperbaric lidocaine administration through 27-gauge intrathecal catheters for continuous spinal anesthesia in 55 elderly patients undergoing transurethral prostatic...
Cervical necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Nine cases of cervical necrotizing faciitis are presented. Five were odontogenic, three were pharyngeal in origin, and one developed from a soft-tissue spider bite. The bacteriology represented a polyculture of gram-positive, gram-negative, as well as...
Primary treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis with hyperbaric oxygen: 10-year experience.
Abstract: Radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis continues to cause frustration for patients and urologists alike. Virtually all present modes of treatment tend to yield short-term benefits and entail potentially devastating risk by virtue of the tissue destructive...
Influence of hyperbaric oxygen on left ventricular contractility, total coronary blood flow, and myocardial oxygen consumption in the conscious dog.
Abstract: It is known that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) decreases total coronary blood flow (TCBF) and cardiac output (CO). To determine whether this is related to an alteration in myocardial contractility, 10 chronically instrumented conscious dogs were studied...
[Cervical necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck is a rare infection caused by a mixed bacterial flora with anaerobic predominance. Mortality is due to misdiagnosis which results in late and inadequate treatment. The natural course of this serious infection...
