Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning improves myocardial function, reduces length of intensive care stay, and limits complications post coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine whether preconditioning coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with HBO(2) prior to first-time elective on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) leads to improved myocardial...
[Continuous spinal block in a patient undergoing partial gastrectomy: case report].
Abstract: Due to the high incidence of technical and neurological complications, continuous spinal blocks were not performed for several years. With the advent of intermediate catheters the technique has been used more often and gaining acceptance among...
Human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells in combination with hyperbaric oxygen augment peripheral nerve regeneration.
Abstract: Attenuation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and associated inflammatory cell deposits rescues human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (AFS) from apoptosis. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) suppressed stimulus-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production in...
[Urological oncology emergencies].
Abstract: Urologic emergencies in malignancies are difficult to treat for non-urological medical staff because of their anatomical specificity and sensational susceptibility. Urological cancer pain involves somatic and neuropathic problems. In pelvic malignancies,...
MRI findings and clinical outcome in 45 divers with spinal cord decompression sickness.
Abstract: Decompression sickness (DCS) affecting the spinal cord is the most dangerous form of diving-related injury with potential sequelae. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between spinal cord lesions on MRI and clinical findings in divers with...
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...
