Hyperbaric oxygen therapy mediates increased nitric oxide production associated with wound healing: a preliminary study.
Abstract: The objective of this preliminary study was to document general somatic and wound nitric oxide (NO) levels during and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The study evaluated 6 chronic wound patients that responded favorably to HBOT treatment (20...
Bioengineered alternative tissues and hyperbaric oxygen in lower extremity wound healing.
Abstract: With the advent and clinical application of recombinant chemical and cellular mediators of wound healing and a better understanding of the importance of serial debridement, most foot wounds can be healed with little morbidity. Despite these advances, there...
Osteoradionecrosis of external auditory canal in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most serious complications of radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). ORN rarely occurs in the external auditory canal. This is a retrospective review of 11 NPC patients who had ORN in the external auditory...

Forearm haemodynamics, arterial stiffness and microcirculatory reactivity in rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This work studied the presence of impaired forearm haemodynamics, arterial stiffness and microcirculatory reactivity in young women with rheumatoid...
Bisphosphonate-associated jawbone osteonecrosis: a correlation between imaging techniques and histopathology.
Abstract: Recently, jawbone osteonecrosis has been reported as a potential adverse effect of bisphosphonates administration. This paper considers and highlights histopathologic and radiologic features of this condition. Eleven patients, owing to unresponsiveness to...
Treatment of radiation proctitis.
Abstract: Late complications of pelvic radiotherapy occur in 5-20% of patients, particularly chronic radiation proctitis (CRP). Rectal bleeding is the most common symptom. Other symptoms include difficulty in defaecation or tenesmus because of loss of distensibility...

Neuroprotection by oxygen in acute transient focal cerebral ischemia is dose dependent and shows superiority of hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: The neuroprotective effect of oxygen after acute stroke in rats has been shown previously. However, the question of optimal dosing still remains unanswered. Thus, we investigated the use of oxygen at different concentrations by either normobaric oxygenation...
