[Maculopathy in typical retinitis pigmentosa apropos of 33 cases].
Abstract: The authors studied 33 maculopathies in 54 patients affected by typic retinitis pigmentosa: atrophic macular degeneration 31 cases (49%); cystoïd macular oedema: 1 case (3%) and macular retraction syndrome: 1 case (3%). These results are...
Carcinoma of the large intestine and nontraumatic, metastatic, clostridial myonecrosis.
Abstract: Traumatic, clostridial myonecrosis is a rare and serious complication of wounds. Nontraumatic, metastatic, clostridial myonecrosis may be caused by carcinoma of the large intestine. Nontraumatic myonecrosis becomes evident with localized...
Primary blast injuries.
Abstract: Injury from explosion may be due to the direct cussive effect of the blast wave (primary), being struck by material propelled by the blast (secondary), to whole-body displacement and impact (tertiary), or to miscellaneous effects from...
A prospective randomised trial comparing spinal anaesthesia using hyperbaric cinchocaine with general anaesthesia for lower limb vascular surgery.
Abstract: One hundred and one patients were randomly allocated to have their peripheral vascular surgery performed under general anaesthesia (51 patients) or spinal anaesthesia (50 patients). Intraoperative haemodynamic changes were markedly...
[Experimental study on the killing effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with photodynamic therapy on transplanted tumors in mice].
Abstract: Dong, , , , , , , , (1986). [Experimental study on the killing effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with photodynamic therapy on transplanted tumors in mice]. Zhonghua yi xue za zhi, 1986...
A feasibility study of a new approach to clinical radiosensitisation: hypothermia and hyperbaric oxygen in combination with pharmacological vasodilatation.
Abstract: It is proposed that hyperbaric oxygen fails in the clinical situation due to a high proportion (greater than 33%) of hypoxic cells in human tumours. The means of overcoming this problem are reviewed. Additional to hyperbaric oxygenation,...
Anemia: a problem or an opportunity in radiotherapy?
Abstract: Anemia may often become a problem in the treatment of the cancer patient. There are insufficient clinical data to assess the overall importance of anemia in radiotherapy, but there is clear evidence that uncorrected anemia is detrimental...
Treatment of clinically diagnosed brown recluse spider bites with hyperbaric oxygen: a clinical observation.
Abstract: Svendsen, , , , , , , , (1986). Treatment of clinically diagnosed brown recluse spider bites with hyperbaric oxygen: a clinical observation. The Journal of the Arkansas Medical Society, 1986...
Nontraumatic clostridial myonecrosis, a case report.
Abstract: Physicians are aware of the association between massively contaminated wounds and clostridial myonecrosis, or gas gangrene. A far less common but equally devastating presentation is that of nontraumatic or spontaneous gas gangrene. The...
