MRI evaluation of aseptic osteonecrosis in children over the course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The study aimed at MRI evaluation of aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in children over the course of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Retrospective analysis of 72 MRI studies in 20 children presenting with AON during chemotherapy. Two groups...
Quantifying the radiation exposure of nursing staff delivering hyperbaric oxygen therapy to grade IV neuroblastoma patients post 131I-MIBG therapy.
Abstract: Melbourne, Lehm, , , , , , , (2000). Quantifying the radiation exposure of nursing staff delivering hyperbaric oxygen therapy to grade IV neuroblastoma patients post 131I-MIBG therapy. European journal of nuclear medicine, 2000...
Necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock-like syndrome caused by group B streptococcus.
Abstract: A recent increase in reports of necrotizing fasciitis resulting from group B streptococcus has alerted physicians to a possible concomitant increase of toxic shock-like syndrome. We report the second case of group B streptococcus causing...
Effective treatment strategies for diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: Nonhealing foot ulcers in patients with diabetes are the leading cause of complications such as infection and amputation. This is a review of the traditional methods of good wound care for the diabetic foot ulcer. We also introduce newer...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Clinical use in treatment of osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis and reconstructive surgery of the irradiated mandible].
Abstract: The aim of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is to increase transported oxygen in the blood over the rise of the physiologically solved part. In oral and maxillofacial surgery, treatment-resistant osteomyelitis and osteoradionecrosis are...
Anaerobic infection therapy.
Abstract: Anaerobes are involved mainly in abdominal surgical infections and the Bacteroides fragilis group is still predominant in such infections. By definition surgery itself plays the major role in therapy while antibiotics have an adjunctive...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treatment of postischemic stroke in adult rats.
Abstract: The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for treatment of stroke remains to be validated in the laboratory. We report here that adult rats subjected to occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and subsequently exposed to HBO (3 atm,...
