Munchausen syndrome revealed by subcutaneous limb emphysema: a case report.
Abstract: Limb subcutaneous emphysema secondary to a Munchausen syndrome represents a rare and severe entity because it involves the functional prognosis of the limb and vital prognosis of the patient. We report the case of an 18-year-old Moroccan woman patient who...
Prognostic significance of long non-coding RNA PCAT-1 expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play widespread roles in gene regulation and cellular processes. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not yet well elucidated. The aim of the present study was to measure the levels of...
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor’s neglected subunit – GluN1 matters under normal and hyperbaric conditions.
Abstract: Professional deep-water divers exposed to hyperbaric pressure (HP) above 1.1 MPa develop high-pressure neurological syndrome, which is associated with central nervous system hyperexcitability. It was previously reported that HP augments N-methyl-D-aspartate...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on glucose-regulated protein 78 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase expression after spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is not only devastating but also represents a public health burden for society. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is implicated in secondary injury following damage to the SC. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment can improve the...
Long-term experience of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for refractory radio- or chemotherapy-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Radiotherapy and cyclophosphamide-induced haemorrhagic cystitis are rare but severe complications occurring in 3-6% of patients. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for haematuria not responding to...
MRI findings in cervical spinal cord type II neurological decompression sickness: a case report.
Abstract: Decompression illness affecting the cervical spinal cord is uncommon. We report a case that presented with mixed signs and symptoms of cervical myelopathy and Type II neurological decompression sickness. This presented a diagnostic dilemma that required the...
Relative neuroprotective effects hyperbaric oxygen treatment and TLR4 knockout in a mouse model of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion.
Abstract: To examine the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and knockout of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the outcome of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in a mouse model. MCAO was induced in anesthetized male C57Bl/6 mice (WT) and TLR4...
Management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: a literature review.
Abstract: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious side effect of bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, metastatic bone disease and multiple myeloma, although recently this complication has also been...
