Barotrauma and air embolism in hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: A 69-year-old woman underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy because of a nonhealing ulcer of her foot. During decompression, she developed a left-sided hemiplegia and confusion. Recompression resulted in transient neurologic improvement, but...
Adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen on [3H]uridine incorporation and uridine kinase activity in B104 rat neuroblastoma cells.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on uracil nucleotide metabolism in B104 rat neuroblastoma cells were investigated. Cells exposed to 10 atm O2 for 4 h incorporated markedly less [3H]uridine into the acid-soluble fraction and RNA compared...
[Characteristics of wound infection in long-term crush syndrome].
Abstract: Clinicobacteriological examination was carried out in 31 patients with the crush syndrome (CS) and extensive damage to the soft tissues in combination with bone fractures complicated by wound infection. Inadequate surgical treatment in...

Intraoperative radiation therapy combined with external irradiation in nonresectable non-small-cell lung cancer: preliminary report.
Abstract: Twenty-one patients with nonresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (15 squamous-cell, 4 adeno, 2 large-cell; T1-T3, N0-N2, all M0) underwent lymph node dissection and intraoperative irradiation of the tumor (IORT) with doses between 10 and...
Exercise-induced hyperammonemia: peripheral and central effects.
Abstract: The intent of this paper is to review the recent literature on exercise-induced hyperammonemia (EIH) and to compare the current interpretations of ammonia accumulation during exercise with the recognized clinical symptoms of progressive...
Bifemelane in the treatment of central retinal artery or vein obstruction.
Abstract: Patients with retinal artery or vein obstruction received 150 mg of bifemelane hydrochloride daily for 1 to 11 months and other treatment (urokinase, steroid hormone, hyperbaric oxygen, or laser photocoagulation) or the latter without...
Oral tissue changes of radiation-oncology and their management.
Abstract: The cytologic effects of radiation therapy involve all tissues and most significantly bone within the treated area. Of greatest concern is the permanence of the compromised healing and resistance to infection of the irradiated tissues....
