Self-regulation of slow cortical potentials in children with migraine: an exploratory study
Abstract Migraine patients are characterized by increased amplitudes of slow cortical potentials (SCPs), representing pronounced excitability of cortical networks. The present study investigated the efficiency of biofeedback training of SCPs in...
Nuclear medicine therapy of neuroblastoma.
Abstract: Specific targeting of radionuclides to neuroblastoma, a neural crest tumour occurring predominantly in young children and associated with a relatively poor prognosis, may be achieved via the metabolic route (MIBG), receptor binding...
[New developments in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers].
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers are frequent: 12,000 Dutch diabetes patients have such an ulcer. The ulcers have a multifactorial aetiology: polyneuropathy, biomechanical stress, infection, deficient footwear and to a less extent ischaemia are the...

Does hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) delivery rescue retinal photoreceptors in retinitis pigmentosa?
Abstract: As previously reported in the literature, hyperbaric oxygen delivery seems to modify the natural course of retinitis pigmentosa. In order to evaluate these first encouraging data, 48 affected subjects were separately studied in two...
Spinal nerve function in five volunteers experiencing transient neurologic symptoms after lidocaine subarachnoid anesthesia.
Abstract: The etiology of transient neurologic symptoms (TNS) after 5% lidocaine spinal anesthesia remains undetermined. Previous case reports have shown that patients acutely experiencing TNS have no abnormalities on neurologic examination or...
Age-related changes in the epiglottis causing failure of nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
Abstract: At 65 years of age, a former coal miner, now 72-years-old, developed a progressive loss of concentration with daytime sleepiness and sleep disturbances. Work-up in pneumological and medical sleep centres resulted in diagnosis of chronic...
Does hyperbaric oxygen enhance the effect of photodynamic therapy in patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma? A clinical pilot study.
Abstract: Experimental studies have shown that the cytotoxicity of porphyrins and related substances is mediated mainly by singlet oxygen and that hypoxic cells are less affected by porphyrins and light. In a clinical pilot study we assessed the...
