Abstract: We evaluated the reliability of intraoperative frozen section histology in 149 mediastinal tumours of which 106 lesions were localized in the anterior, 18 in the central and 25 in the posterior mediastinum. Gross non-resectability was ruled out by...
Abstract: The treatment of synergistic bacterial soft tissue infections includes usually surgical debridements and radical excisions of necrotic tissues, antibiotic therapy and volumic resuscitation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy did not prove efficient in these...
Abstract: HOT is a very useful therapeutic addition in chronic wounds presenting a healing problem and for which usual treatment were unsuccessful. In order to be fully effective, HOT must be included in a strategy of care, taking into account, not only the wound...
Abstract: Many nonhealing tissues are hypoxic, with oxygen tensions frequently ranging from 5 to 15 mmHg. In such an environment, the normal wound healing sequence is disrupted or halted and phagocytic killing activity depressed. So the adjunctive use of hyperbaric...

Abstract: After recalling the mechanism of action of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on healing processes, the authors review the principal indications for this technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery, such as crush injuries and acute post-traumatic ischemia of the...
Abstract: The criteria which may be employed by chronically ill people in their decision about whether to continue with therapy were investigated in the context of a clinical trial of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis. An open-ended question about...
Abstract: An 18-month uncontrolled study of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy was conducted in 97 individuals with multiple sclerosis. Two-thirds of the patients were classified as progressive and one-third as stable. Assessment was based mainly on three...
Abstract: There is substantial evidence for the presence of hypoxia in human tumours. This is documented by histopathological demonstration of vascular insufficiency, direct oxygen measurements in tumours, as well as by physiological imaging and mapping of hypoxic...
