The marked decrease in the incidence of allograft dysfunction compared with two historical control groups suggests that PTX and inhaled NO given before and throughout reperfusion are protective against I/R injury in the setting of clinical transplantation.
We describe a patient who presented with orbital apex syndrome. Sphenoidectomy and biopsy revealed invasive zygomycosis. The patient had no obvious risk factors for the development of zygomycosis, but was subsequently found to have a solitary, occult lung carcinoma. The unusual clinical features of this case are discussed, and the English language literature on zygomycoses in patients with solid tumours is reviewed. Possible predisposing factors are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
