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...
Autophagy in Huntington disease and huntingtin in autophagy
Abstract Autophagy is an important biological process that is essential for the removal of damaged organelles and toxic or aggregated proteins by delivering them to the lysosome for degradation. Consequently, autophagy has become a primary target for the treatment of...
Pre-conditioning with low-level laser (light) therapy: light before the storm.
Abstract: Pre-conditioning by ischemia, hyperthermia, hypothermia, hyperbaric oxygen (and numerous other modalities) is a rapidly growing area of investigation that is used in pathological conditions where tissue damage may be expected. The damage caused by surgery,...

Air embolism: a complication of computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy.
Abstract: Air embolism is a pathological condition caused by the entry of gas into vascular structures. It is a rare but feared complication due to its serious morbidity. We report two male patients who were diagnosed with air embolism as a complication of computed...
Use of HBOT and a living bilayer skin substitute for a compromised flap with chronic steroid use: a case report.
Abstract: Wound healing in a degloving injury can be compromised due to mechanical compression, increased length-to-width ratio, and time to treatment. Chronic steroid use is also a known risk factor for poor wound healing in wounds of any type. We report the first...
MMP14 regulates cell migration and invasion through epithelial-mesenchymal transition in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) has been shown to play a significant role in several types of cancers, but little is known about the function of MMP14 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of...
