Effect of combined therapy with hyperbaric oxygen and antioxidant on infarct volume after permanent focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of combination of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and an antioxidant on permanent focal cerebral ischemia. Male Wistar rats underwent permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Then, animals were...
[Necrotizing fasciitis: diagnosis and treatments].
Abstract: The necrotizing fasciitis is a medico-surgical emergency, characterized by the rapid speard of the infection in the subcutaneous tissue, involving fascia superficialis. Peaucity of cutaneous findings early in the course of the disease makes diagnosis a...
[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) during treatment of infected free bone transplants. A Case report].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) leads to a significant increase of oxygen supply in poorly perfused tissue. Several physiological mechanisms of this treatment modality are suitable for having a positive effect on infected large autologous free bone...
Secondary free-tissue reconstruction for metachronous tumors of the head and neck: techniques, results, and outcomes.
Abstract: Malignancies of the head and neck are not uncommon in the Far East due to the habit of betel-nut chewing. The development of a second primary neoplasm is a constant fear for those who have had successful treatment of a primary cancer. A total of 82 patients,...
Necrotizing soft-tissue infection: diagnosis and management.
Abstract: Necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) are highly lethal. They are frequent enough that general and specialty physicians will likely have to be involved with the management of at least 1 patient with NSTI during their practice, but they are infrequent...
Age associated risks of recreational scuba diving.
Abstract: The effect of aging on risk for development of decompression illness in divers has often been reported as an incidental finding in epidemiological analyses of diving accidents. No previous publications have specifically attempted to quantify or qualify those...

Conservative management of necrotizing fascitis in children.
Abstract: Necrotizing fascitis (NF) is a severe infection of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia affecting children and adults. Conventional management includes resuscitation, aggressive debridement of necrotic tissue, and sometimes, additional measures such as...
[Transcutaneous oxygen tension in hyperbaric condition as a predictor of ischaemia in non-healing diabetic foot ulcers].
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of basal and modify transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (TcpO2) to diagnosis of ischaemia and indication of angiography in non-healing diabetes foot ulcers: 69 patients with non-healing diabetic...
