Abstract: This paper reports on the outcomes and efficacy of the deep treatment schedules employed at the University of Hawaii to treat diving accident victims. These tables utilize increased atmospheric pressures, several mixed gas combinations, and a more gradual...
Hyperbaric oxygen: a new drug in myocardial revascularization and protection?
Abstract: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs following coronary artery revascularization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of this injury. However, the evidence for this is inconclusive. Recent studies...
AIRFIX: the first digital postoperative chest tube airflowmetry–a novel method to quantify air leakage after lung resection.
Abstract: Prolonged air leak after pulmonary resection is a common complication and a major limiting factor for early discharge from hospital. Currently there is little consensus on its management. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a measuring device...

Therapies for necrotising fasciitis.
Abstract: Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but life-threatening infectious disease emergency. Delays in diagnosis and treatment are common, and mortality rates often exceed 30%. Successful management of this disease requires high clinical suspicion and aggressive...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may improve symptoms in autistic children.
Abstract: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that currently affects as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Recent research has discovered that some autistic individuals have decreased cerebral perfusion, evidence of neuroinflammation, and...
Myocardial injury and long-term mortality following moderate to severe carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a common cause of toxicological morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury is a frequent consequence of moderate to severe CO poisoning. While the in-hospital mortality for these patients is low, the long-term outcome of...
