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...
The antero-posterior diameter of the lumbar dural sac does not predict sensory levels of spinal anesthesia for Cesarean delivery.
Abstract: The lumbosacral cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume, as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, is a major determinant of the intrathecal spread of local anesthetics. Ultrasound imaging of the lumbar spine allows measurement of dural sac dimensions, which we...
Abnormal EEG lateralization in boys with autism
Abstract Objective: Functional brain abnormalities associated with autism in 3-8-year-old boys were studied with EEG recorded under controlled experimental condition of sustained visual attention and behavioral stillness. Methods: EEG was recorded in two independent...
The effect of oxygen therapy on brain damage and cerebral pO(2) in transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat.
Abstract: We examined the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric oxygen (NBO) on neurologic damage and brain oxygenation before and after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion rat model was used. The rats were...
Autologous bone marrow transplantation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with thromboangiitis obliterans.
Abstract: Many patients suffering from severe ischemic limb disease inevitably experience amputation, despite intensive therapies. Sympathectomy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are optional therapies for patients with peripheral circulation disorders. Recently, several...
