Abstract: The widespread use of HBO as an adjunctive treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has been founded on weak scientific evidence, but the consistency in positive outcomes in trials evaluating HBO on ulcer healing is noteworthy, not least as these results are in...

The medical use of oxygen: a time for critical reappraisal.
Abstract: Oxygen treatment has been a cornerstone of acute medical care for numerous pathological states. Initially, this was supported by the assumed need to avoid hypoxaemia and tissue hypoxia. Most acute treatment algorithms, therefore, recommended the liberal use...

An unusual cause of ischemic stroke – Cerebral air embolism.
Abstract: Air embolism is a preventable, often undiagnosed but potentially treatable cause of ischemic stroke with a high morbidity and mortality. It is usually iatrogenic ocurring especially in patients in ICU setting. We describe the case and neuroimaging of a...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on cardiac stress markers after simulated diving.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) can protect the heart from injury during subsequent ischemia. The presence of high loads of venous gas emboli (VGE) induced by a rapid ambient pressure reduction on ascent from diving may cause ischemia and acute...
Two fatal cases of immersion pulmonary oedema – using dive accident investigation to assist the forensic pathologist.
Abstract: Immersion pulmonary oedema (IPE) is being increasingly recognized in swimmers, snorkellers and scuba divers presenting with acute symptoms of respiratory distress following immersion, but fatal case reports are uncommon. We report two fatal cases of probable...
The enhancing effects of hyperbaric oxygen on mouse skin carcinogenesis.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on mouse skin two-stage chemical carcinogenesis were examined. Six-week-old inbred CD-1 female mice were divided into the following five groups: group 1, normoxia and application of 25 nmol...
Chondroradionecrosis of larynx a delayed complication of radiotherapy: management and review of literature.
Abstract: Background/objectives Chondroradionecrosis (CRN) of the larynx is a rare and grave complication of radiotherapy which can be fatal if not managed aggressively. A recent trend towards organ preservation protocols towards even advanced stage laryngeal...
