Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation-associated tissue necroses: is it safe in patients with locoregionally recurrent and then successfully salvaged head-and-neck cancers?
Abstract: To test, in a retrospective matched-pair study, whether necrosis-rescuing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) increases the risk of cancer re-recurrence in patients with locoregionally recurrent and then successfully salvaged head-and-neck cancers. Between...
Relationship between autonomic neuropathy and hypertension–are we underestimating the problem?
Abstract: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in diabetes and the risk is even greater in those with hypertension. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between CAN and 24-h blood pressure...
Combined spinal-epidural block in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: case report.
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis starts between the fifth and sixth decades of life, causing degeneration and death of upper and lower motor neurons. When the muscles responsible for ventilation are affected, the patient dies of respiratory failure within a few...

Viewpoint: the type A- and the type B-variants of Decompression Sickness.
Abstract: Symptoms of neurological decompression incidents (DCS/AGE) can be severe or mild. It is unknown if these differences of symptom presentation represent different clinical entities or if they represent just the spectrum of DCS/AGE. 267 cases with DCS/AGE were...
Wound healing in radiated skin: pathophysiology and treatment options.
Abstract: Ulcers in radiated skin continue to be a challenge for health care practitioners. Healing impairment in the setting of radiation-damaged tissue will most of the time lead to chronic wounds that reduce the patient's quality of life. In this review, we present...
[Prophylaxis and medical care in poisoning by toxic burning products].
Abstract: Poising by toxic burning products are possible as in conditions of battle, so in daily actions of troops. Sanitarian-hygienic arrangements and prohibitive measure, using of filtrating respirator with a complex of supplementary workholder or isolating...
The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat chronic wounds: A review.
Abstract: Chronic wounds, defined as those wounds which fail to proceed through an orderly process to produce anatomic and functional integrity, are a significant socioeconomic problem. A wound may fail to heal for a variety of reasons including the use of...
