Abstract: The use of the central venous catheter may be complicated by air embolism when central venous pressure is subatmospheric and the catheter is open to the surrounding air. Paradoxical air embolus occurs when the gas bubbles are able to traverse a right to left...
Abstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (transient apical ballooning of the left ventricle) is a recently described and often underdiagnosed entity. The syndrome is observed predominately in postmenopausal women and the clinical signs are similar to those of an acute...
Abstract: During the past 80 years a number of theories about the pathogenesis of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) have been proposed, with consequent implications for its treatment. Until recently tissue hypoxia and its consequences were accepted as the primary cause, and...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as an adjunct to standard methods of care for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Its use may decrease the risk of infection and lower extremity amputations (LEAs). As part of a Canadian assessment, we estimated the...
Abstract: To evaluate the use of remifentanil-propofol administered as target-controlled infusion during awake fibreoptic intubation for anticipated difficult tracheal intubation in acromegalic patients. In all, 20 consecutive acromegalic patients underwent elective...
Abstract: Hypoxia is a common feature of the tumor microenvironment and a major cause of clinical radioresistance. During the last decades, several strategies to improve tumor oxygenation were developed such as breathing high oxygen content gas under hyperbaric...
Abstract: Surgical treatment is crucial in the management of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of surgical procedure timing on hospital mortality in severe NSTI. A retrospective study including 106...
