[Clinical analysis of sudden deafness after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients].
Abstract: To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic effects of sudden deafness after radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Clinical data of 42 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients suffered from sudden deafness after...Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Despite established exposure limits and safety standards, and the availability of carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, each year 50,000 people in the United States visit emergency departments for CO poisoning. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur from brief exposures...CT findings in temporal bone osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to describe computed tomographic findings in patients with clinically proven temporal bone (TB) osteoradionecrosis (ORN) (TB-ORN). Computed tomographic scans of 20 patients were retrospectively evaluated for bony and soft tissue...Clinical Trial – Normative Datasets for Assessments Planned for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (NORMAL)
The purpose of the research study is to collect information about brain function and
structure among active duty military personnel or civilians who are healthy. Researchers want
to develop a database from normal volunteers that will be used in comparison with a similar
database from active duty military with post-concussive syndrome (PCS) from a mild traumatic
brain injury. Findings from this study may be used to design larger studies that will
evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen treatments actually improve PCS.
Participants in this study will undergo numerous tests to assess physical, mental, and
intellectual health and how they might change over time. Participants will wear heart and
activity monitors, undergo brain imaging, provide blood and urine for laboratory testing, and
have vision, hearing, balance, and muscle function tests. They will also complete a number of
questionnaires and interviews. This battery of tests will be repeated twice more over the
course of 6 months.
