[Necrotizing fasciitis after arthroscopic synovectomy of an infected prepatellar bursa].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening soft tissue infection in superficial and deep fascias. NF is most often caused by mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The treatment is early and aggressive surgical debridement, antibiotics and hyperbaric...
Can hyperbaric oxygen be used as adjunctive heart failure therapy through the induction of endogenous heat shock proteins?
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition that is expected to increase in incidence along with increased life expectancy and an aging population. As the incidence of HF increases, the cost to national healthcare budgets is expected to run into the billions....
Microsurgical reconstruction for radiation necrosis: an evolving disease.
Abstract: We performed a retrospective chart review of a tertiary care medical center. Our objective was to report our experience with microvascular reconstruction in the head and neck in patients who presented with radiation-induced tissue damage. We will discuss the...

Delayed hyperbaric oxygenation is more effective than early prolonged normobaric hyperoxia in experimental focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric (HBO) and normobaric (NBO) oxygen therapy have been shown to be neuroprotective in focal cerebral ischemia. In previous comparative studies, NBO appeared to be less effective than HBO. However, the experimental protocols did not account for...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cerebral palsy–where to now?
Abstract: Bennett, Newton, , , , , , , (). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cerebral palsy--where to now? Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc, ;34(2):69-74. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17520857
Lung metastatic load limitation with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Despite some theoretical concern about cancer-enhancing effects ofhyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy, it is frequently administered to cancer patients. We evaluated the growth of murine breast cancer cells in the lung after hyperbaric oxygen treatment in an...
The life-saving effect of hyperbaric oxygenation during early-phase severe blunt chest injuries.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO2) on survival during the early phase of severe blunt chest injury (BChI) has not been elucidated. Our aim was to investigate this effect on human victims of BChI. We monitored cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index...
Low-dose bupivacaine-fentanyl spinal anesthesia for lower extremity surgery in a nonparturient with Eisenmenger’s syndrome.
Abstract: Perioperative mortality in patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome is very high, particularly following cesarean section. This case report describes the successful use of low-dose bupivacaine-fentanyl spinal anesthesia for lower extremity surgery in a...
