Principles and practice of hyperbaric medicine: a medical practitioner’s primer, part I.
Abstract: The purpose of this monograph is to narrow the knowledge gap between current medical practice and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Graduate medical education has not kept pace with the expanding science and practice of hyperbaric medicine. The number of hyperbaric...
Atrial septal defect: a coincidental finding on a screening medical.
Abstract: An otherwise fit, healthy medical practitioner who was a recreational diver underwent a medical assessment for a remote posting as an Antarctic Medical Practitioner at which a coincidental finding of an atrial septal defect (ASD) was made. ASDs can have health...
Cardiac myocyte-protective effect of microRNA-22 during ischemia and reperfusion through disrupting the caveolin-3/eNOS signaling.
Abstract: MicroRNA-22 (miR-22) was previously reported to elicit cardiac myocyte hypertrophy and had an anti-apoptotic effect on neurons. However, its effects on cardiac myocyte apoptosis and cardiac function during ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) are not clear. In the...
Reconstruction of a large through-and-through defect of the nasal tip using a modified auricular composite graft.
Abstract: The nose is the most important part in the aesthetic appearance of the face because of its central position. It is difficult to reconstruct a large through-and through defect of the nasal tip among nasal defect deformities because of its unique individual...
