Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon but serious infection of fascia and skin associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. One modality proposed for improving the outcome of this condition is hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. This is a form of...
Abstract: This study estimates the cost-effectiveness (CE) of the adjunctive use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in the treatment of diabetic ulcers based on the payer's and societal perspectives. The study population was a hypothetical cohort of 1,000 patients...
Abstract: Implant therapy is no longer considered impossible for patients who have received radiation treatment. However, the risk of osteoradionecrosis and failed osseointegration are barriers to implant therapy for this population. This paper reviews the published...
Abstract: The Miskito Indian lobster divers of Central America employ very provocative diving profiles and experience severe neurological decompression sickness (DCS) and/or arterial gas embolism (AGE). Scientific data are scarce regarding the clinical patterns of...
Abstract: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy is a hereditary, bilaterally progressive formation of a vitreoretinal membrane. It usually occurs in full-term newborns without previous treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. In this report, we present six cases of this...
Abstract The association between elevated plasma levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and nutritional status has been shown in Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and also in vascular dementia (VaD). Moreover, a previous study provided evidence that the relation between a high...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) after focal cerebral ischemia reduces infarct size and improves outcome when applied early after stroke. Here, we evaluated effects of HBO on permanent focal cerebral ischemia and applied magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
Abstract: We describe an occupational exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas in a 16-year-old boy. While cleaning the reoxygenation tank of a fish hatchery, he and an adult supervisor lost consciousness. The adult died, and the adolescent regained consciousness briefly when...
Abstract: Postradiation changes in the tissues and delayed wound healing were presumed by all hyperbaric medicine societies including Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) as one of the basic indications...
