Abstract: The treatment of severe anemia with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is one of thirteen indications approved by the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society for appropriate use of the therapy (1). This paper systematically...
Abstract: Repetitive breath-hold (BH) diving can lead to accumulation of nitrogen (N2) in blood and tissues, which may give rise to decompression illness (DCI). An unusual condition is "Taravana", the diving syndrome reported by Cross in the 1960s. That...
Abstract: A body of data supports the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in the treatment of thermal burns, but the role of HBO2 in the treatment of burn injury remains a subject of controversy. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible positive effects...
Abstract: Radiation cystitis is a lesion of the bladder caused by irradiation of a pelvic organ. These lesions can range from a simple inflammatory reaction to almost complete bladder retraction. The frequency of chronic lesions is estimated to be between 5% and 10%...
Abstract: Central nervous system complications following carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are well reported in the literature but peripheral neuropathy is under-recognized. We report the clinical and electrophysiological studies of the transient peripheral neuropathy...
Abstract: Animal studies have shown that pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen can induce central nervous system ischemic tolerance and also modulate the inflammatory response. We evaluated this therapy in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Sixty-four patients...
