Enhancement of tumor radiation response by the combination of a perfluorochemical emulsion and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: The presence of radioresistant hypoxic cells in tumors is believed to be one of the limiting factors in achieving local tumor control by radiotherapy. Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen during irradiation has been shown to improve the radiation response of...

[Elimination of the obturator reflex with prilocaine in transurethral resection of bladder tumors in combination with spinal and general anesthesia].
Abstract: During transurethral resection of bladder tumors under either spinal or general anesthesia without muscular relaxation, direct stimulation of the obturator nerve by the electroresectoscope is possible. The resulting obturator reflex may lead to severe...
[Gas gangrene: an extreme surgico-medical rather than medico-surgical emergency].
Abstract: A diabetic woman developed spontaneous gas gangrene of upper limb extending into trunk and due to clostridium septicum. Recovery was obtained after major surgery involving disarticulation of upper limb and excision of soft tissues of left hemithorax, and a...
The free greater omental flap for treatment of mandibular osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis can involve the mandible following radical irradiation for treatment of oral cavity cancer. The radionecrosis of the mandible is often associated with severe intractable pain, local or extensive deformity, including pathologic fracture,...
The use of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of the diabetic foot.
Abstract: Hypoxia in the relatively ischemic diabetic foot impairs leukocyte bacterial killing and fibroblast-collagen support for capillary angiogenesis. Infection in even the relatively young, "warm-foot" diabetic with microangiopathy, neuropathy, and...
Results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy during temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion in unanesthetized cats.
Abstract: We evaluated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on neurological function and infarct size in 33 unanesthetized cats subjected to temporary 6-hour or 24-hour occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) 7 to 10 days after transorbital implantation...
Necrotizing fasciitis from invasive Phycomycetes.
Abstract: Invasive phycomycotic fungal infections are life-threatening complications in patients with impaired immune response. A successful outcome usually depends on early aggressive treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been suggested as adjuvant therapy...
The use of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen in treatment of the diabetic foot.
Abstract: Hypoxia in the relatively ischemic diabetic foot impairs leukocyte bacterial killing and fibroblast-collagen support for capillary angiogenesis. Infection in even the relatively young, "warm-foot" diabetic with microangiopathy, neuropathy, and...
