Single session panendoscopy. Indications and expectations for yield.

To assess the indications and yield of single session panendoscopy (SSPE), patients who underwent colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at the same time were retrospectively reviewed. Endoscopy records and patient charts of 101 patients who underwent SSPE during a 45-month period were analyzed for demography, indication, and results. Average age was 72.

Blisters, cooling, antithromboxanes, and healing in experimental zone-of-stasis burns.

To appraise the ability of each to improve wound healing in zone-of-stasis burns (i.e., burns becoming progressively more ischemic early postburn), 1) an antithromboxane (dipyridamol PO immediately postburn), 2) burn-wound cooling, 3) their combination, or 4) no treatment was administered to burned guinea pigs half of which had burn blisters removed immediately postburn (PB).
