1 Schmidt, Meic H.Photodynamic therapyWe appreciate the comments of Drs. Kaye and Hill on our article. We are pleased that these investigators concurred with our impression that photodynamic therapy (PDT) may potentially be useful in the treatment of posterior fossa tumors. Several interesting questions were raised about the technical ...Photodynamic therapy; Photofrin1994
2 Schmidt, Meic H.Role of photodynamic therapy in posterior fossa brain tumors: a preclinical study in a canine glioma modelPhotodynamic therapy was studied in dogs with and without posterior fossa glioblastomas. This mode of therapy consisted of intravenous administration of Photofrin-II at doses ranging from 0.75 to 4 mg/kg 24 hours prior to laser light irradiation in the posterior fossa. Tissue levels of Photofrin-l...Brain neoplasm; Posterior fossa; Photodynamic therapy; Glioblastomas; Dog; Photofrin-II; Canine glioma model1993
3 Schmidt, Meic H.NASA light-emitting diode medical program-progress in space flight and terrestrial applicationsThis work is supported and managed through the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - SBIR Program. Studies on cells exposed to microgravity and hypergravity indicate that human cells need gravity to stimulate cell growth. As the gravitational force increases or decreases, the cell function responds in...Terrestrial applications; Cell growth; NASA; Microgravity environment2000
4 Kestle, John R. W.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Schmidt, Richard H.Marked reduction of cerebral vasospasm with lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhageObject. Cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be a major source of morbidity in patients despite significant clinical and basic science research. Efforts to prevent vasospasm by removing spasmogens from the subarachnoid space have produced mixed results. The authors hyp...Cerebral vasospasm; Lumbar drainage2004
5 Schmidt, Meic H.Benzoporphyrin derivative and light-emitting diode for use in photodynamic therapy: applications of space light-emitting diode technologyPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment modality that recently has been applied as adjuvant therapy for rain tumors. PDT consists of intravenously injecting a photosensitizer, which preferentially accumulates in tumor ells, into a patient and then activating the photosensitizer with a light...Benzoporphyrin; Photodynamic therapy; Brain tumors; Photofrin1998
6 Schmidt, Meic H.Role of light-emitting diodes for photodynamic therapy of brain tumorsThe development of more effective light sources for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) of brain tumors would be of benefit for both research and clinical application. In this study, the use of light-emitting diode arrays for PDT of brain tumors with Photofrin® porfimer sodium was investigated. An inflatabl...Aluminum Gallium Arsenide; Photodynamic therapy; Brain tumors; Photofrin1996
7 Schmidt, Meic H.Light-emitting diodes as a light source for intraoperative photodynamic therapyTHE DEVELOPMENT OF more cost-effective light sources for photodynamic therapy of brain tumors would be of benefit for both research and clinical applications. In this study, the use of light-emitting diode arrays for photodynamic therapy of brain tumors with Pholofrin porfimer sodium was investiga...Photodynamic therapy; Brain tumors; Brain tumor therapy; Photofrin; LED1996
8 Dailey, Andrew T.Vertebral artery injuries associated with cervical spine injuries: a review of the literatureObjective: To determine the incidence of vertebral artery injuries (VAIs) in association with cervical spine trauma and investigate the optimum diagnostic and treatment protocols. Summary of Background Data: VAIs may result from cervical spine trauma and have the potential to cause cerebral, brain...Cervical spine injuries; Literature review2008
9 Schmidt, Meic H.Medical applications of space light-emitting diode technology-space station and beyondSpace light-emitting diode (LED) technology has provided medicine with a new tool capable of delivering light deep into tissues of the body, at wavelengths which are biologically optimal for cancer treatment and wound healing. This LED technology has already flown on Space Shuttle missions, and show...Photodynamic therapy; Lutetium Texaphyrin; Lutex; Canine glioma1999
10 Couldwell, William T.Management of pituitary adenomasWe present an overview of the management of pituitary adenomas, with discussions of microanatomy, of diagnostic studies of general neuroendocrine function, and of radiologic evaluation. We discuss the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma and its treatment with sections on null cell, prolactin (PRL)-secre...Pituitary adenoma; Transsphenoidal surgery; Corticotropin; Prolactin; Growth hormone; Transcranial surgery1994
