[Management of necrotizing cellulitis and fasciitis].
Abstract: A literature review did not reveal any controlled study on the management of necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment protocol includes: - an immediate or early surgical management with debridement of all necrotic tissue and extensive fasciotomy...
[Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe often life threatening bacterial infection. There are 2 main reasons to use hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2): the polymorphism of the bacterial flora with a predominance of anaerobes, either strict or...
[The therapeutic approach to necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis are characterized by the necrosis of fascias, and their severe consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. An early diagnosis, based on sometimes subtle cutaneous lesions (associated to a sepsis syndrome)...
[A prospective study on erysipelas and infectious cellulitis: how are they dealt within hospital?].
Abstract: 771 cases of erysipelas and 52 cases of infectious cellulitis were collected over 3 months in a prospective study carried out in French hospitals. The mean age was 62.7 +/- 19.3 years for the erysipelas patients and 69.7 +/- 16 years for...
[Severe decompression sickness in divers].
Abstract: The term "decompression illness (DCI)" is a disorder which arises from the presence of ectopic gas bubbles following decompression. Scuba diving poses the risk of two typically clinical syndromes: decompression sickness (DCS)...
[MRI follow-up study of aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in children treated with chemotherapy for malignant diseases].
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate by MRI the course of aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) after chemotherapy in children with different malignancies. Retrospective analysis of 72 MRI studies in 20 children (age: 3.2-18.4 years) presenting...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on axonal outgrowth in sciatic nerve grafts in rats.
Abstract: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on axonal outgrowth in grafts of sciatic nerves in 40 rats. The sciatic nerve was transsected and a 10 mm long segment from the opposite side was immediately sutured in as a nerve...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute necrotizing infections. With a special reference to the effects on tissue gas tensions.
Abstract: Clostridial gas gangrene and perineal necrotizing fasciitis or Fournier's gangrene are rare but serious infections with an acute onset, rapid progression, systemic toxemia and a high mortality rate. The aim of this study was to...
