Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), as an adjuvant treatment in necrotizing soft tissues infections and in gas gangrene is reviewed, including its specific effects, experimental studies and clinical reports. With a global therapeutic management, considered as an...
Abstract: Research in smoke inhalation has established that free radicals are produced from gases released during combustion and these species impair lung function. Using spin traps and their adducts in an animal model free radicals were measured. Various hyperbaric...
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may result from decompression sickness associated with sport and commercial diving. Decompression sickness is caused by the formation of gas bubbles in the vessels and tissues secondary to a reduction in ambient pressure. A complete...
Abstract: The paper is concerned with current status of nonspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are considered. Crohn's disease was studied in its variants. Hyperbaric oxygenation introduced in combined...

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is an important adjunct to the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer with existing or recurrent wound healing problems. Anecdotal clinical observations and a recent study of chemically induced oral cancer in hamsters have raised...
Abstract: The most important effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), for the surgeon, are the stimulation of leukocyte microbial killing, the enhancement of fibroblast replication, and increased collagen formation and neovascularization of ischemic tissue. Preoperative...
Abstract: Cerebral air embolism is a rare but serious complication to percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration of the lung. A case is described after puncture of a tumour in the right lung with a 0.6 mm needle. The patient developed paralysis of the upper and...
Abstract: Brain acidosis from cerebral ischemia is characterized by average intracellular pH levels of approximately 5.8-6.2, which appear in turn to worsen cellular injury. We report that the brain is not injured when hypercapnia is used to reduce intracellular pH to...
