Yet people who undergo radiationtherapy of the head or neck are more likely to be at risk forosteoradionecrosis (ORN), delayed bone damage caused by radiationwhich is most commonly found in the mouth.“The extraction of teeth in a previously radiated jaw accounts fornearly nine out of 10 cases of trauma induced mandibular radionecrosis,”explains Dr. Robert Bartlett, senior medical advisor for National HealingCorporation, whose Wound Healing Centers around the nation treat thecondition. “It seems counterintuitive when cancer survivors gauge successin the passage of time, yet there is greater risk of ORN five years afterradiation versus one year later since the degenerative process isprogressing beneath the surface without any outward sign.”Pittsburgh’s Wound Healing Institute, a National Healing Corporationmanaged Wound Healing Center owned by Ohio Valley General Hospital,uses leading edge hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) to treat ORN. Unlikethe tedium of sitting in a dentist’s chair, patients watch movies duringtreatment while relaxing on a bed incased in a large see-through plasticshell as they are surrounded by 100 percent oxygen at higher-thannormalatmospheric pressure. The therapy enables oxygen molecules topass through the plasma to the tissue more easily and speed healing.“Microorganisms begin to impact the surface of irradiated bone in themouth,” Bartlett says. “This makes ORN a matter of wound healing ratherthan infection and these problematic wounds do not require the same typeof topical management.”Complications from ORN can result in intractable pain, difficulty openingthe mouth, bone fractures, nutritional deficiencies caused by difficultyeating, chronic wounds, and the loss of large areas of soft bone andtissue.The local experts at Pittsburgh’s Wound Healing Institute canrecommend a number of strategies for preventing, identifying, andtreating ORN.For more information about ORN and treating and preventing chronicwounds, contact Pittsburgh’s Wound Healing Institute at (412) 250-2600or visit www.ohiovalleyhospital.org.A/CTUNE-UPCALL FOR DETAILS22 Allegheny West Magazine June 2010
BY WALTER SADAUSKASTattooing is a Medical ProcedureTattooing is a medical procedure. It is the injection of pigment intoone’s dermis to produce an ineffaceable mark. A fresh tattoo is an openwound; it opens the door to hazardous infections and life alteringdiseases. Receiving a tattoo at a contaminated tattoo parlor is similar togetting plastic surgery at a flea market; both are dangerous and foolish.It is important to understand the hygienic environment. As we areconsidered one of the most sterile tattoo and piercing studios in westernPennsylvania, Up in Arms is in constant contact with health professionalsto ensure that sterilization procedures surpass industry standards.Reputable tattoo parlors use artists and piercers that are certified inthe control of bloodborne pathogens and cross contamination. Reputableparlors such as Up in Arms have an in-house medical grade sterilizationfacility. Autoclaves are tested bi-weekly through an FDA approved testcenter. All non-invasive instruments are run through the autoclave withits own indicator strip. This is in addition to those provided on thesterilization pouches to ensure that proper steam saturation hasoccurred.Reputable parlors also make sure that every needle, whether forpiercing or tattooing, is a single use needle and is pre-sterilized orsterilized on site. And, all tattoo and piercing stations are disinfectedusing a hospital grade germicidal solution, Amphyll.The decision to get a tattoo should not be one made impulsively.And, the importance of a sterile environment cannot be emphasizedenough.Up in Arms invites anyone to come and take a tour of its sterilizationfacility or to view its biological monitoring results.At Up in Arms Tattoos and Piercings, the customer’s personal healthand safety is the top priority.Up in Arms Tattoos is located at 120 West Allegheny Road.
