Cardiovascular changes induced by cold water immersion during hyperbaric hyperoxic exposure.
Abstract: The present study was designed to assess the cardiac changes induced by cold water immersion compared with dry conditions during a prolonged hyperbaric and hyperoxic exposure (ambient pressure between 1.6 and 3 ATA and PiO(2) between 1.2 and 2.8 ATA). Ten...
Apolipoprotein E genotype and response of carbon monoxide poisoning to hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) reduced the incidence of cognitive sequelae 6 weeks after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning compared with normobaric oxygen (NBO2). The apolipoprotein (APOE) epsilon4 allele predicts unfavorable neurologic outcome after brain injury and...
Anesthesia for Cesarean section in a patient with a transposition of great arteries–case report.
Abstract: Transposition of great arteries (TGA) is one of the mixing lesions between right and left side with a prevelance of 0.21 per 1,000 live births. A 25 years old lady from KSA, Gravida 3, Para 1 + 1, at 34 weeks gestational age was admitted to KAUH with...
Hyperbaric oxygenotherapy as a possible means of preventing ischemic changes in skin grafts used for soft tissue defect closure.
Abstract: The Center of Hyperbaric Oxygenotherapy was established in September 2001 and started to provide hyperbaric treatment services for patients suffering from chronic, non-healing soft tissue defects in close cooperation with the Department of Plastic,...

[Clinical variants of Churg-Strauss eosinophilic vasculitis].
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to analyze clinical variants of eosinophilic vasculitis (EV). The authors observed 12 EV patients (five men and seven women; mean age 43 +/- 5.7) during a ten-year period. Two of the patients died of ventricular fibrillation due...
Cerebral gas embolism caused by pleural fibrinolytic treatment.
Abstract: Intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy is a technique used to treat empyemas and parapneumonic effusions. Cerebral air embolism is an unusual potentially severe complication of this technique. Summary of Case- A patient with parapneumonic pleural effusion...
Evaluation of the effect of SMA-pirarubicin micelles on colorectal cancer liver metastases and of hyperbaric oxygen in CBA mice.
Abstract: Tetrahydropyranyladriamycin (THP or pirarubicin) destroys tumors via several mechanisms; one of which involves the production of ROS that requires molecular oxygen for its generation. SMA forms stable self-assembled associated micelles with pirarubicin...
[Results of treatments for critical limb ischemia: effectiveness and indications].
Abstract: The treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI), which is the end stage of arteriosclerosis obliterans and/or Buerger's disease, provides the ischemic tissue with oxygen, and arterial revascularization procedures such as bypass surgery and...
