Descending necrotizing soft tissue infection of periodontal origin.
Abstract: Descending necrotizing soft tissue infections involving the neck and chest are a rare but hazardous sequela of periodontal infections. These infections are associated with significant mortality.The high mortality rates of this condition...
Clinical evaluation of implants in radiated fibula flaps.
Abstract: The success of osseointegrated implants in the radiated fibula flap used for mandibular reconstruction is variable, and there are few long-term data available in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate implant success in...
Hyperoxia increases the uptake of 5-fluorouracil in mammary tumors independently of changes in interstitial fluid pressure and tumor stroma.
Abstract: Hypoxia is associated with increased resistance to chemo- and radiation-therapy. Hyperoxic treatment (hyperbaric oxygen) has previously been shown to potentiate the effect of some forms of chemotherapy, and this has been ascribed to...
[Utility of hyperbaric oxygenation in radiotherapy for malignant brain tumors–a literature review].
Abstract: Over the past 50 years, hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been used in a wide variety of medical conditions; this theraphy causes an increase in oxygen tension in blood and tissues. In the treatment of malignant gliomas, HBO...
Retrospective audit of the use of the Marx Protocol for prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen therapy in managing patients requiring dental extractions following radiotherapy to the head and neck.
Abstract: The study's primary objective was to review (for the years 2003 to 2006) the outcomes of using prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to prevent osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in a group of patients previously exposed to radiotherapy of...
[Cervical necrotizing fasciitis arising from dental abscess: a rare clinical observation].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck is a rare polymicrobial infection, rapidly progressing with a potentially fatal outcome, without early recognition and treatment. Odontogenic infection spreading to the lower neck or anterior...

Abstract: A 60-year-old man with esophageal carcinoma in the upper 3rd underwent palliative treatment including photodynamic therapy, brachytherapy, external beam irradiation, and esophageal stenting. He developed a symptomatic malignant...
[Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygenation and erythropoietin in the treatment of chronic heart failure using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy G-SPECT].
Abstract: The most important predictors of long-term survival in patients with cardiac ischemic disease are left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes, infarction size, presence and extent of residual myocardial ischemia. One of...
Neurofeedback training to enhance learning and memory in patient with traumatic brain injury: A single case study
Abstract Road traffic injuries are the leading cause (60%) of brain injury. It is estimated that India would occupy third position for Traumatic brain injury (TBI) by 2020. The most vulnerable group of population is the young adults for TBI. The...
