Abstract: It is postulated that application of hyperbaric oxygenation may induce the production of radicals after HBO. Higher oxygenation and transport of oxygen increase the mitochondrial energy turnover, whereas inner mitochondrial radical formation decreases....
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening infection which is treated with aggressive debridement, antibiotics, intensive care and hyperbaric oxygen. We present a case where a 66-year-old woman with NF of the face and neck following an eye infection...
Abstract: We review and report on accumulated data showing the benefits offered by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy as an adjunct in the treatment of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. It has been shown that ischemia-reperfusion injury is deleterious to the...
Abstract: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide and affects patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Its natural course may lead to impaired central vision and macular fibrosis. Even VEGF blockade,...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is an unfortunate complication of radiation therapy to the head and neck. Treatment has historically centered around hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgical removal of necrotic bone. Recently, a new theory on the pathogenesis of ORN...
Abstract: The reconstruction of oral function in irradiated patients with craniofacial tumors is a significant challenge. The aim of this study was to detect long-term success of dental implant-supported dentures in postirradiated patients treated for neoplasms of the...
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability in the United States and causes mitochondrial damage leading to impaired brain function. The purpose of this review is to (1) describe TBI processes and manifestations, (2) examine the...
Abstract: Open fractures with significant soft tissue injury are associated with high rates of complications, such as non-union, infection, chronic pain and disability. Complications often require further inpatient care, and in many cases, multiple operations and...
