Abstract: Radiation therapy is commonly applied as a primary or adjuvant therapy for malignancies. One of the major complications following radiation therapy is the necrosis of the otherwise normal surrounding soft tissues and/or bone. Post-radiation myelopathy rarely...

[Manifestation of primary biliary cirrhosis and Basedow’s disease caused by exposure to carbon monoxide in a patient with HTLV-1 associated myelopathy].
Abstract: A 55-year-old woman with HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM) was discovered in a rentan kotatsu (Japanese foot warmer with a frame and a coverlet by burning briquet) with conscious disorder and admitted to an emergency hospital. Her conscious disturbance...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on a rat transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap model.
Abstract: The single-pedicle transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is frequently associated with partial flap necrosis. Hyperbaric oxygen has previously been shown to increase the survival of skin flaps, although there has been no investigation of...
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...
Studies on the safety of glucose and paraben-containing neostigmine for intrathecal administration.
Abstract: Initial toxicity testing of neostigmine for intrathecal (IT) injection was performed with preservative-free isobaric solution, yet currently available formulations contain the preservatives methyl- and propylparaben and are usually mixed with glucose to...
[Neurotoxicity of intrathecally administrated agents].
Abstract: Spinal anaesthetics can induce histopathologic lesions and regional haemodynamic alterations in the spinal cord. There are numerous causes of neurologic lesions, including direct trauma of the spinal cord and nerve roots during puncture or catheter...
[Enhanced regeneration of terminal axons after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient resembling progressive postpoliomyelitis muscular atrophy].
Abstract: We found an electromyographical proof of reconstruction of the motor nerve terminals following hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A 38-year-old man who had been partially recovered for thirty four months from acute onset paraplegia following a gastrointestinal...
Hyperbaric oxygen as prophylaxis or treatment for radiation myelitis.
Abstract: This animal study was designed to investigate HBO as a treatment or prophylaxis for radiation myelitis. All animals received identical spinal cord radiation doses of 69 Gy in 10 daily fractions. Group I received no HBO; group II began HBO at the onset of...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the combined therapy of infectious diseases].
Abstract: Hypoxia plays an important role in pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Therefore, its correction is an essential factor in pathogenetic antibacterial treatment. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) as a leading method in current antihypoxic therapy was studied in...
