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....

Abstract: Chronic intoxication due to carbon monoxide (CO) is a condition in which the frequency is underestimated since the clinical features are nonspecific. It is important since serious neurological sequelae may result: an extrapyramidal syndrome, dementia or a...
Abstract: Increased ambient pressure and oxygen partial pressure (pO2) influence cardiovascular regulation during diving and caisson work. We measured the cardiac output (Q) in subjects who practiced moderate work at a usual diving depth of 30 m. In 23 healthy male...
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe often life threatening bacterial infection. There are 2 main reasons to use hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2): the polymorphism of the bacterial flora with a predominance of anaerobes, either strict or aerotolerant; and the...
Abstract: A literature review did not reveal any controlled study on the management of necrotizing fasciitis. Treatment protocol includes: - an immediate or early surgical management with debridement of all necrotic tissue and extensive fasciotomy followed by a...
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis are characterized by the necrosis of fascias, and their severe consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. An early diagnosis, based on sometimes subtle cutaneous lesions (associated to a sepsis syndrome) allows to start...
