Treatment outcome of nonclostridial gas gangrene at a Level 1 trauma center.
Abstract: To evaluate the results of treatment of nonclostridial gas gangrene at a Level 1 trauma center. Retrospective. Level 1 trauma center. Seven patients with nonclostridial gas gangrene were studied. The average age of all patients at the time of admission was...
Acute spinal cord injury, part I: pathophysiologic mechanisms
Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating and common neurologic disorder that has profound influences on modern society from physical, psychosocial, and socioeconomic perspectives. Accordingly, the present decade has been labeled the Decade of the Spine to...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy given 30 minutes after spinal cord ischemia attenuates selective motor neuron death in rabbits.
Abstract: Spinal cord ischemia sometimes causes paraplegia because the spinal motor neuron cells are vulnerable to ischemia. Although various protective remedies for spinal cord injury have been reported, there have been few established clinical methods. Although...
Anticoagulation therapy for radiation-induced myelopathy.
Abstract: To report the use of heparin and enoxaparin for radiation-induced myelopathy. A 48-year-old White woman with presumed metastatic lung cancer presented with worsening numbness and weakness of both legs. The neuro-oncology service was consulted and determined...
Prediction of neurologic outcome in patients with spinal cord injury by using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in predicting neurological recovery in patients with spinal cord injury was evaluated. HBO has been used to treat spinal cord injury, but HBO does not appear to greatly alter the neurological outcome. This...
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
Abstract: A retrospective study of spinal cord injury (SCI) treated with and without hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. To report on the use of HBO in spinal cord injury. Neurosurgical Unit, Tokyo, Japan. Thirty-four cases of hyperextension spinal cord injury without...
Hyperbaric oxygenation treatment of acute paraplegia after resection of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.
Abstract: Acute spinal cord ischemic injury after resection of thoracoabdominal aneurysm remains a relatively common and potentially devastating complication. The complete resolution of postoperative paraplegia after resection of a type II thoracoabdominal aneurysm,...
