Intra-arterial air thrombogenesis after cerebral air embolism complicating lower extremity sclerotherapy.
Abstract: Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a potentially life-threatening event. Intraarterial air can occlude blood flow directly or cause thrombosis. Sclerotherapy is an extremely rare cause of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Case-report. A 38-year-old female...
A three species model to simulate application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to chronic wounds.
Abstract: Chronic wounds are a significant socioeconomic problem for governments worldwide. Approximately 15% of people who suffer from diabetes will experience a lower-limb ulcer at some stage of their lives, and 24% of these wounds will ultimately result in...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning protects against traumatic brain injury at high altitude.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) can reduce ischemic and hemorrhagic brain injury. We investigated effects of HBO preconditioning on traumatic brain injury (TBI) at high altitude and examined the role of matrix...

Carbon monoxide toxicity.
Abstract: Inhalation injury consists of a multitude of insults, the first of which is the toxic gases inhaled during the combustion of organic and inorganic substances. Significant morbidity and mortality in patients with burn injury occur due to the varying effects...

Saddle block analgesia for high-dose-rate brachytherapy: A prospective study.
Abstract: To determine effective spinal anesthetic dosing of hyperbaric bupivacaine for patients undergoing high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for prostate cancer. A total of 199 HDR prostate brachytherapy sessions (n=115 patients) under spinal anesthesia with five...
Is HBOT treatment effective in recovering zone of stasis? An experimental immunohistochemical study.
Abstract: Studies aimed at recovering the zone of stasis are one of the major issues of experimental burn studies. Hypoxia and oedema at that zone may cause irreversible changes. Due to anti-oedematous and antihypoxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), it...
Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) represents a necrotizing infection of the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue of the external genitalia and perineum. It arises as a result of propagation of anorectal, urogenital and skin infections. The principles of treatment...
