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...

Criteria for bone debridement in massive lower limb trauma.
Abstract: Adequate debridement remains the most important factor in prevention of chronic sepsis in cases of massive lower limb trauma. Despite treatment with chronic antibiotics, muscle flaps, hyperbaric oxygen, and/or free-tissue transfer, failures are common due to...
