Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in clinical application. A report of a 12-year experience.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has become a useful treatment in clinical diseases. All the treatment profiles (Death/Time) were performed under the safe limit of unit pulmonary toxicity dose (UPTD). Between June 1976 and December 1987, we had treated 1288 cases...
[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on fresh burn wounds].
Abstract: In an experimental study standardized third-degree burns were caused in guinea pigs. The animals were treated intermittently with hyperbaric oxygen for a period of five days starting immediately after injury. The healing process was recorded at frequent...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on immunological parameters in multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been reported to cause amelioration of clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We have treated 10 MS patients with hyperbaric oxygen (100% O2 at 2 atmospheres absolute for 90 min daily for a total of...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis: a review of its use and efficiency].
Abstract: In this work, the AA. speak of the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis, with particular reference to enforcement of this therapeutic technique in the mandibular necrosis caused by irradiation of tumour of cervical-facial...
[The compartment syndrome].
Abstract: The compartment syndrome is in fact secondary to intracompartmental hypertension which creates ischemia of the muscles, nerves, vessels, and anterior tibial and peroneal arteries in the leg. Described in the 19th century, the clinical picture is better known...
[Incidents in sports diving].
Abstract: Barotrauma of the ear is the most frequent incident in sport-diving. In some cases, inner ear disorders appear. Barotrauma with rupture of the lung can provoke gas embolism into the central nervous system and unconsciousness. Gas embolism into the spinal...
Reinforced staple line in severely emphysematous lungs.
Abstract: In severely emphysematous or otherwise destroyed lung parenchyma, staples often cut through, which causes prolonged postoperative air leakage. A mechanical suture line reinforced by a polydioxanone ribbon is a simple, safe, and effective method for closure...
