Charcot described amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 1874. Despite progress, this creeping paralysis, known colloquially as Lou Gehrig's disease, is still not visibly affected by available therapies. However, advances in genetics have accelerated the pace of ALS...
Abstract This double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of 4 weeks of impulse magnetic-field therapy (16 Hz, 5 microTs), delivered through a small device, for different types of headache and migraine. Eighty-two patients were randomly assigned to...
Abstract: Spinal cord ischemia sometimes causes paraplegia because the spinal motor neuron cells are vulnerable to ischemia. Although various protective remedies for spinal cord injury have been reported, there have been few established clinical methods. Although...
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is a genital and perineal necrotizing fascitiis with a rapid evolution. It's an affection caused by aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms, eventually associated with a superinfection by micetes. It has characterised by a deep oedema...

Abstract: The authors described two cases of palatine tonsil carcinoma treated with surgery and subsequent radiation therapy after which occurred severe radionecrosis of the larynx, pharynx and oral cavity. These subjects were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy...
Abstract: An 11-year-old boy in good general health conditions suffered deep frostbite on six fingers while he was working without gloves as a beater during a hunt in Poland at an outdoor temperature of -32 degrees C over a 4 h-period. Three days later he was first...
Abstract: Photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT) is based upon a photochemical reaction that is limited by the availability of molecular oxygen in the target tissue. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) increases the amount of oxygen available for the process may thereby...
Abstract: Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) present with ischemic rest pain or with tissue loss. Tissue loss, in its mildest presentation, includes focal ischemic ulceration or nonhealing wounds. Gangrene is the manifestation of severe chronic ischemia....
