Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis with and without thoracic extension: management strategies and outcome.
Abstract: First objective was to review cases of craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis (CCNF) at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center (Detroit, MI) for the last 18 years. Second was to analyze patients with and without thoracic extension...
The radiation dose-response of the human spinal cord.
Abstract: To characterize the radiation dose-response of the human spinal cord. Because no single institution has sufficient data to establish a dose-response function for the human spinal cord, published reports were combined. Requisite data were...
FOURNIER’S gangrene: the development of a classical pathology.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis, especially when termed Fournier's gangrene (FG) when it initiates at the perineum, is a rare but rapidly progressive subcutaneous tissue infection characterized by extensive necrosis. Although it has been known for...

The clinical and economic potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic ulceration and other conditions.
Abstract: Selective use of systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that deserves further study and analysis. The current situation in the United Kingdom (UK) is discussed in relation to available evidence and practices elsewhere....
alpha-Lipoic acid modulates extracellular matrix and angiogenesis gene expression in non-healing wounds treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: alpha-Lipoic acid (LA) has been found previously to accelerate wound repair in patients affected by chronic wounds who underwent hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Because proteinases are important in wound repair, we hypothesized that LA...
