Fatal cerebral air embolism following uneventful flexible bronchoscopy.
Abstract: Flexible bronchoscopy is a widely used and safe procedure with a reported maximal mortality rate of 0.04% and a major-complications rate of 0.5%. There are, however, only few case descriptions for postinterventional cerebral air embolism and the frequency of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other adjunctive treatments for zygomycosis.
Abstract: Zygomycetes are increasingly reported as a cause of life-threatening invasive fungal infections in profoundly immunocompromised patients and in those with diabetic ketoacidosis. Zygomycosis, typically presents as soft tissue, rhino-orbitocerebral, pulmonary...
Cutaneous zygomycosis.
Abstract: The prevalence of cutaneous and soft tissue zygomycosis appears to have increased in recent years. We reviewed 78 case reports of cutaneous zygomycosis published from 2004 through 2008. Most patients with cutaneous zygomycosis have underlying conditions such...

[Elective indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy].
Abstract: Creation of an hyperbaric medical center in Geneva allows development of elective indications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Physiologics effects of hyperbaric oxygen are well known, but credibles clinicals trials lacks. Frequents indications such as diabetic...
[Septic shock in a patient with the Fournièr gangrene with fatal outcome].
Abstract: The authors present a case of a patient with developed Fournièr gangrene and septic shock. Fournièr gangrene belongs to the group of local non-specific infection of soft tissues (NSTI). Its incidence is relatively low, but the infection is extraordinary...
[Hyperbaric Oxygenation – utility in intensive therapy – part 1].
Abstract: Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO) is a medical treatment, in which a patient breathes 100 % oxygen inside a treatment chamber at a pressure higher than at sea level. The indication for HBO has to be considered whenever gas bubbles present in tissue or blood...
[Teeth and irradiation: dental care and treatment of osteoradionecrosis after irradiation in head and neck cancer].
Abstract: Pre-irradiation dental care depends on teeth health, fields and dose of irradiation, compliance to fluorides, cessation of tobacco and psychosocial cofactors. Dental care aims at preventing complications and preserving the quality of life (eating, speech,...
