Necrotizing fasciitis: literature review of contemporary strategies for diagnosing and management with three case reports: torso, abdominal wall, upper and lower limbs.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon soft tissue infection, usually caused by toxin-producing virulent bacteria. It is characterized by widespread fascial necrosis primarily caused by Streptococcus hemolyticus. Shortly after the onset of the disease,...
Hypebaric oxygen treatment in urology.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been successfully used in several disorders derived from tissue hypoxia, due to the extra oxygen supply to the tissues it enables. In this manuscript we performed a systematic review including all the existing data...
Cesarean section in spinal anesthesia on a patient with mesencephalic tumor and ventriculoperitoneal drainage -A case report-.
Abstract: A seventeen-year-old pregnant woman with a mesencephalic tumor and ventriculoperitoneal (VP) drainage was admitted to the hospital at full term pregnancy to give birth. Elective cesarean section was performed because of her prime disease (mesencephalic...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in necrotising soft tissue infections: a study of patients in the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample.
Abstract: Necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a deadly disease associated with a significant risk of mortality and long-term disability from limb and tissue loss. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy on...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on rapid tissue expansion in rabbits.
Abstract: Tissue expansion has been widely used to provide additional soft tissue for clinical reconstruction. Rapid expansion requires a much shorter clinical period than conventional expansion; however, less natural skin growth occurs resulting in a larger...
Secondary injury mechanisms in traumatic spinal cord injury: a nugget of this multiply cascade
Abstract The pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) involves primary and secondary mechanisms of injury. Though both mechanisms are involved in the neurological dysfunction in SCI most research however has focused on understanding the pathophysiology of the...

Radiation induced temporal lobe necrosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a review of new avenues in its management.
Abstract: Temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) is the most debilitating late-stage complication after radiation therapy in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). The bilateral temporal lobes are inevitably encompassed in the radiation field and are thus prone to radiation...
Livedoid vasculopathy managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Livedoid vasculopathy is an uncommon condition resulting in painful lower extremity ulceration and scarring. This condition presents as purpuric macules and papules that progress to painful, irregular ulcers of the lower legs and dorsal feet. These...
