Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of thermal burns. An economic analysis.
Abstract: Current reimbursement for burn care underscores the importance of cost containment in the treatment of burn injuries. We evaluate the economic impact of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in burns of 19% to 50% total body surface area in...
[The use of hyperbaric oxygenation for the treatment of patients with pneumoconiosis and pulmonary heart failure].
Abstract: Examination of 76 patients with pneumoconiosis (stage I) revealed that hyperbaric oxygenation is increasing the force of cardiac contractions, reduction of the general peripheral resistance and reduction of the lesser circulation...
Pitfalls in intraoperative frozen section histology of mediastinal neoplasms.
Abstract: We evaluated the reliability of intraoperative frozen section histology in 149 mediastinal tumours of which 106 lesions were localized in the anterior, 18 in the central and 25 in the posterior mediastinum. Gross non-resectability was...
[Organ-sparing surgery in laryngeal cancer].
Abstract: Basing on their experience with sparing surgery in combined treatment of pharyngeal carcinoma, the authors have developed a method for specification of the diagnosis before treatment and in the course of surgical intervention....
Intraoperative radiation with external irradiation: an alternative for nonresectable non-small-cell lung cancer?
Abstract: In 15 patients with nonresectable non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (10 squamous, 1 large cell, 4 adenocarcinomas; T1-T3, N0-N2, all M0), lymph node dissection and intraoperative irradiation of the tumour (IORT) with doses between 10...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen in postradiation head and neck surgery.
Abstract: Data are presented to indicate the value of hyperbaric oxygen in all stages of treatment of patients with irradiation complications following head and neck surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen stimulates angiogenesis, with increased...
Osteoradionecrosis: causes and prevention.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most serious complications arising from head and neck radiation therapy. Current research has shown that ORN represents nonhealing, dead bone and is not a state of infection. ORN is the result of...
[Our experience of spinal anesthesia for transurethral resection of the bladder and prostate. Retrospective study of 334 patients operated in 1986].
Abstract: Retrospective study of one years is performed on 334 patients who undergo transurethral surgery. Spinal anesthesia is used in 263 cases, general anesthesia in 71. Spinal administration of local anesthetics (lidocaine hyperbaric 5% or...
Hyperbaric oxygen increases survival following carotid ligation in gerbils.
Abstract: We studied the effects of graded exposure to hyperbaric (1,875 mm Hg) oxygen therapy in an acute stroke model prepared by unilateral carotid artery interruption in gerbils. Pentobarbital alone, superoxide dismutase alone, two periods of...
