Radiation-induced skin reactions: mechanism and treatment.
Radiotherapy (RT) is a major treatment for malignant tumors. The latest data show that >70% of patients with malignant tumors need RT at different periods. Skin changes can be experienced by up to 95% of patients who underwent RT. Inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) have been shown to be generally associated with radiation-induced skin reactions (RISRs). Inflammatory response and OS interact and promote each other during RISRs. Severe skin reactions often have a great impact on the progress of RT. The treatment of RISRs is particularly critical because advanced RT technology can also lead to skin reactions. RISRs are classified into acute and chronic reactions.
Clinical Trial – Fascia Iliaca Block for Anesthesia in Lower Limb Thromboembolectomy
The fascia iliaca block (FIB) is an anterior approach to block the lumbar plexus. It
disturbed mainly to the anterior region of the thigh by blocking the femoral nerve (LFC) and
the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Moreover, FIB may possibly be extended to the obturator,
ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and over the psoas muscle
but, rarely reaches the lumbar plexus.
The fascia iliaca compartment could be detected by bony landmarks palpation and the loss of
resistance technique. Feeling two tactile ”pops” due to loss of resistance occurred during
the needle passage through the fascia lata and the fascia iliaca. Ultrasound (US) guidance of
FIB will increase the success rate and the efficacy of sensory blockade by decreasing the
needed local anesthetic amount.
Repeated exposure to hyperbaric hyperoxia affects mitochondrial functions of the lung fibroblasts.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, i.e. breathing pure oxygen under increased environmental pressures serves as a treatment for diverse medical conditions. However, elevated oxygen concentration can be detrimental to central nervous system or lungs. Our study...
