Abstract: Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) with thoracic extension is rare. It has never been reported in laryngectomized patients. A case of fatal CNF in a laryngectomized patient equipped with a voice prosthesis is presented. Diagnosis and treatment are...

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis with thoracic extension after total laryngectomy.
Abstract: Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) with thoracic extension is rare. It has never been reported in laryngectomized patients. A case of fatal CNF in a laryngectomized patient equipped with a voice prosthesis is presented. Diagnosis and treatment are...
Exposure to increased pressure or hyperbaric oxygen suppresses interferon-gamma secretion in whole blood cultures of healthy humans.
This study examines the effects of hyperoxia, increased atmospheric pressure, and hyperbaric oxygen on cytokine synthesis.
Five healthy volunteers were exposed to 90 min of room air, 100% oxygen, 10.5% oxygen at 2 atm abs, or 100% oxygen at 2 atm abs (HBO2). All subjects were blinded and randomly exposed to each of the 4 conditions.
Immediately before entering the chamber, immediately after exposure, and 3 and 24 h later, blood was drawn and stimulated ex vivo with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and phytohemagglutinin A (PHA).
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on early regeneration of sensory axons after nerve crush in the rat.
Abstract: Abstract The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on sensory axon regeneration was examined in the rat. The sciatic nerve was crushed in both legs. In addition, the distal stump of the sural nerve on one side was made acellular and its blood perfusion...
Functional evaluation after rat sciatic nerve injury followed by hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: Previous experimental studies have shown positive effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in the early regeneration phase in the first few days following a nerve injury. In this study, functional effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment were studied in 2 series...
Intravenous nutrient therapy: the “Myers’ cocktail”
Abstract: Building on the work of the late John Myers, MD, the author has used an intravenous vitamin-and-mineral formula for the treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions. The modified "Myers' cocktail," which consists of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and...
Improvement in cerebral metabolism in chronic brain injury after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: While no research study has yet demonstrated convincing evidence for the efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in patients with chronic neurological disorders (CND), anecdotal studies have been supportive of its use in improving healing of the damaged...
Hyperbaric oxygenation prevented brain injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia in a neonatal rat model.
Abstract: The occurrence of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) during early fetal or neonatal stages of an individual leads to the damaging of immature neurons resulting in behavioral and psychological dysfunctions, such as motor or learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, epilepsy...
