Treatment of high-pressure water gun injection injury of the foot with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen: a case report.
Abstract: High-pressure injection injuries are reported often in the hand and occasionally in the foot. Injection with water and air causes minimal tissue damage but nevertheless requires irrigation, minimal debridement, administration of antibiotics, and concern for...
The treatment of tumors by the induction of anemia and irradiation in hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Because increased effects have been achieved when murine tumors are irradiated after a period of hypoxia and because of anecdotal clinical experiences of an improved result after irradiation of previously anemic patients in hyperbaric oxygen, the...
Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible: a review.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a complex metabolic and tissue homeostatic deficiency created by radiation-induced tissue injury. Although infection was initially felt to play an important role in its pathogenesis, the role of microorganisms has been relegated...
Hyperbaric oxygen: primary treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Of 8 patients with symptoms of advanced cystitis due to pelvic radiation treated with hyperbaric oxygen 7 are persistently improved during followup. All 6 patients treated for gross hematuria requiring hospitalization have been free of symptoms for an...
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw bones at the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
Abstract: There is disagreement over the management of teeth in irradiated head and neck cancer patients. Some oral surgeons support preirradiation extraction; others favor maintaining teeth. Before 1974, The University of Kentucky Department of Radiation Medicine...
[Clinical observation of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw].
Abstract: Clinical observations and investigations on 48 patients treated in a 15-year period were presented. From the studying results of radionuclide scintigraphic examination we raised a new opinion that the bone in diseased area had its rich blood supply and...
Complications and protocol considerations in carbon monoxide-poisoned patients who require hyperbaric oxygen therapy: report from a ten-year experience.
Abstract: We conducted a study to determine the type, incidence, and timing of complications that occur in patients who have a carbon monoxide (CO) exposure serious enough to require hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Complication data were retrospectively collected...
