A five year review of anaerobic, necrotizing soft tissue infections: a nursing perspective.
Abstract: Anaerobic necrotizing soft tissue infections are known for their devastating effects of tissue destruction and death. These infections may occur as a result of trauma, surgical intervention or occur spontaneously in predisposed individuals. They are caused...
[Our caseload in Fournier’s disease].
Abstract: We reviewed the records of 17 cases of Fournier's gangrene that had been diagnosed and treated in the Urology Service of the Marques de Valdecilla Hospital from 1982-1991. The series comprised male patients aged 32 to 77. Eleven cases (64.7%) were due to a...

Hospital treatment of victims exposed to combustion products.
Abstract: Combustion toxicology is complex so, although victims exposed to combustion products are mainly treated symptomatically, it is important to identify those situations when specific therapeutic measures might be of importance. Victims presenting respiratory...
Myocardial hibernation identified by hyperbaric oxygen treatment and echocardiography in postinfarction patients: comparison with exercise thallium scintigraphy.
Abstract: To evaluate the potential for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to produce transient improvement in function in areas of myocardium ischemic at rest (hibernating myocardium), 24 patients were studied within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction. Results were compared...

[Perineal gangrene. Analysis of 24 cases].
Abstract: Fournier's syndrome, characterised by anaerobic necrotising cellulitis of the soft tissues situated below the diaphragm, is a serous disease with an unpredictable course. From 1978 to 1991, we treated 24 men with a mean age of 57 years (27 to 90 years)....
Effect of lidocaine on somatosensory evoked response and cerebral blood flow after canine cerebral air embolism.
Abstract: Victims of air embolism often recover rapidly on hyperbaric treatment then deteriorate again, even if hyperbaric treatment is continued. In previous animal experiments, lidocaine has been shown to improve recovery of somatosensory evoked response amplitude...
