Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a case of post-total body irradiation colitis.
Abstract: We report a 21-year-old man who experienced symptoms of colitis following autologous TBI-conditioned PBSC transplantation, which persisted despite conventional treatment. Abdominal echography showed a thickened, stratified wall of the cecum, of the right...
[Mucormycosis-actinomycosis and caseous dental sinusitis associated with sinusal foreign body].
Abstract: The authors report an uncommon case of caseous dental sinusitis with infection or superinfection by mocorales and actinomycetes. The patient was healthy, without diabetes mellitus, but was treated for lymphoma 18 years before. This observation leads to a...
Total unilateral lung gangrene in Hodgkin’s disease: treatment by thoracostomy.
Abstract: Total gangrene of the left lung developed in a 30-year-old male patient with a pulmonary recurrence of Hodgkin's disease after mediastinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Clinically, tension pyopneumothorax and severe septic shock were present. Surgical repair...
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 ruled out by...

Acute gangrene of the scrotum and penis in four hematologic patients. The usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in one case.
Abstract: We describe four cases of Fournier's gangrene complicating the postchemotherapy aplastic phase (polymorphonuclear cells [PMN] less than 500/microliter) in three patients with acute leukemia and one patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Blood and local...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on the cytotoxicity of adriamycin and nitrogen mustard in cultured Burkitt’s lymphoma cells.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HPO) exposure on the cytotoxicity of Adriamycin (ADM) and nitrogen mustard have been examined in Burkitt's lymphoma cells (P3J) in vitro. Exposure of cells to 3 atmospheres of pressure HPO for 2 hr produces inhibition of DNA...
