[Hemodynamic and respiratory changes in athletes during deep breath-hold diving].
Abstract: The study analysed the hemodynamic and respiratory aspects of deep breath-hold diving. One male (59-year-old) and one female (32-year-old) subject were enrolled. They were both champion deep breath-hold divers. The dives were performed in the wet compartment...
Down regulation of COX-2 is involved in hyperbaric oxygen treatment in a rat transient focal cerebral ischemia model.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression after transient focal ischemia was evaluated. A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO) model was produced using the intraluminal filament method. After 2 h of...
Multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease: prospects for its integrative management.
Abstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is aptly named for the many scars it produces in the brain and spinal cord. A sometimes fatal, often debilitating disease, MS features autoimmune inflammatory attack against the myelin insulation of neurons. Thymus derived (T) cells...
Treatment outcome of nonclostridial gas gangrene at a Level 1 trauma center.
Abstract: To evaluate the results of treatment of nonclostridial gas gangrene at a Level 1 trauma center. Retrospective. Level 1 trauma center. Seven patients with nonclostridial gas gangrene were studied. The average age of all patients at the time of admission was...
Cerebral arterial gas embolism following diagnostic bronchoscopy: delayed treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: To describe a clinical scenario consistent with the diagnosis of cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) acquired during an outpatient bronchoscopy. Our discussion explores the mechanisms and diagnosis of CAGE and the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A...
