Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the risk of QTc interval prolongation in patients with diabetes and hard-to-heal foot ulcers.
Abstract: Heart rate corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation is a risk factor associated with increased mortality. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has previously been shown to have acute beneficial effects on QTc dispersion. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Type II Necrotizing Fasciitis in a Child Presenting With a Minor Abrasion, Edema, and Apparent Bruising .
Abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is associated with systemic disease, mostly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in many patients (more than 50%). Lesions associated with arthritis are often ulcerative. Although these lesions...
Cadexomer iodine: an effective palliative dressing in chronic critical limb ischemia.
Abstract: Cadexomer iodine (CI) was evaluated as a palliative wound care dressing for foot ulcers in chronic critical limb ischemia (CCLI) given its ability to prevent infection and absorb moisture. A retrospective study of 11 patients with CCLI and wounds on distal...
prediction of wound healing outcome using skin perfusion pressure and transcutaneous oximetry: a single-center experience in 100 patients.
Abstract: Chronic lower extremity wounds are challenging and typically occur in patients with complicating conditions such as diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. Noninvasive modalities developed to assess wound healing potential, such as transcutaneous oximetry...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunctive treatment for diabetic foot wounds: a comprehensive review with case studies.
Abstract: Complications associated with diabetes are often expensive to treat, and commonly include foot ulceration. While most diabetic foot ulcers heal with standard treatment, when standard treatment measures fail, adjunctive therapies must be considered. We...
Repetitive hyperbaric oxygenation attenuates reactive astrogliosis and suppresses expression of inflammatory mediators in the rat model of brain injury
Abstract The exact mechanisms by which treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) exerts its beneficial effects on recovery after brain injury are still unrevealed. Therefore, in this study we investigated the influence of repetitive HBOT on the reactive astrogliosis and...
Thoracic spinal anesthesia is safe for patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery.
Abstract: A double-blinded randomized controlled study to compare discharge time and patient satisfaction between two groups of patients submitted to open surgeries for abdominal malignancies using segmental thoracic spinal or general anesthesia. Open surgeries for...
A terrorist bomb blast, a real challenge for any tertiary care health provider.
Abstract: Multiple casualties and the complex set of injuries in survivors of a terrorist bomb blast poses a real challenge to health care providers. We are presenting three such cases, first case suffered a fracture of both bone lower limb bilaterally along with head...
