Heart energetic efficiency in O2-exposed rats studied in isolated working heart.
Abstract: Death in normobaric hyperoxia was related in the past to pulmonary insufficiency of the edematous lung. However, high arterial O2 tension on final collapse led to the suggestion that the heart and not the lung is the first organ that...
A five year review of anaerobic, necrotizing soft tissue infections: a nursing perspective.
Abstract: Anaerobic necrotizing soft tissue infections are known for their devastating effects of tissue destruction and death. These infections may occur as a result of trauma, surgical intervention or occur spontaneously in predisposed...

Hospital treatment of victims exposed to combustion products.
Abstract: Combustion toxicology is complex so, although victims exposed to combustion products are mainly treated symptomatically, it is important to identify those situations when specific therapeutic measures might be of importance. Victims...
Myocardial hibernation identified by hyperbaric oxygen treatment and echocardiography in postinfarction patients: comparison with exercise thallium scintigraphy.
Abstract: To evaluate the potential for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to produce transient improvement in function in areas of myocardium ischemic at rest (hibernating myocardium), 24 patients were studied within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction....

[Perineal gangrene. Analysis of 24 cases].
Abstract: Fournier's syndrome, characterised by anaerobic necrotising cellulitis of the soft tissues situated below the diaphragm, is a serous disease with an unpredictable course. From 1978 to 1991, we treated 24 men with a mean age of 57 years...
