A comparison of the late radiation changes after three schedules of radiotherapy.
Abstract: The late radiation change observed in 15 patients treated for carcinoma of oral cavity or oropharynx using continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART) was compared to that seen in 15 similar patients treated with conventional radiotherapy....
Severe hemorrhagic radiation proctitis advancing to gradual cessation with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: We report a case of a male patient suffering from a severe hemorrhagic radiation proctitis which gradually ceased with hyperbaric oxygen. We discuss the mechanisms of chronic radiation injury and the effect of the hyperbaric oxygen. This therapy is proposed...
The management of invasive bladder cancer: a review of selected Australasian studies in radiotherapy, chemotherapy and cystectomy.
Abstract: Since 1968, studies have been conducted in Australia and New Zealand to improve the results of treatment for invasive bladder cancer. The prognostic value of clinical stage and of ureteric obstruction has been confirmed. Radiotherapy has been established as...
Total unilateral lung gangrene in Hodgkin’s disease: treatment by thoracostomy.
Abstract: Total gangrene of the left lung developed in a 30-year-old male patient with a pulmonary recurrence of Hodgkin's disease after mediastinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Clinically, tension pyopneumothorax and severe septic shock were present. Surgical repair...
Determination of proliferative activities in human brain tumor specimens: a comparison of three methods.
Abstract: Proliferative activities were determined in 72 human brain tumors, including 20 metastatic carcinomas, 41 gliomas, 8 meningiomas and 3 hematological tumors. Immunocytochemical techniques included labeling with monoclonal antibody (mAb) to bromodeoxyuridine...
[Therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen on recovery of surgically repaired peripheral nerve injury].
Abstract: 114 patients with peripheral nerve injury were treated microsurgically. 54 patients with 65 nerve injuries were given hyperbaric oxygen as supplementary treatment. The excellent and good results of the 65 nerves accounted for 89.2%, but of those nerves in...
Treatment of multiple sclerosis with hyperbaric oxygen. Results of a national registry.
Abstract: Three hundred twelve patients were entered into a long-term study of effects of hyperbaric oxygen on multiple sclerosis. The protocol called for an initial 20 treatments in either the monoplace or multiplace chamber on a daily basis followed by monthly...
[The characteristics of the clinical picture and treatment of patients with acute kidney failure in obstetrical pathology].
Abstract: The examination of 45 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) caused by obstetric problems identified 3 types of its clinical course: 1) "pure" ARF; 2) ARF in the presence of sepsis, and 3) ARF in the presence of exogenous intoxication. Types 2 and...
