Brain inflammation and oxidative stress in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer-like brain amyloidosis
Abstract BACKGROUND: An increasing body of evidence implicates both brain inflammation and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The relevance of their interaction in vivo, however, is unknown. Previously, we have shown that separate...
Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin with mediastinal extension.
Abstract: We review an interesting case of craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis with thoracic extension in an immunocompetent 44-year-old man. The patient underwent aggressive medical and surgical management during a long hospitalization. Multiple surgical...
Retinal degeneration and local oxygen metabolism.
Abstract: Vision loss due to various forms of outer retinal degeneration remains a major problem in clinical ophthalmology. Most retinal degenerations are precipitated by genetic mutations affecting the retinal pigment epithelium and sensory retina, but it is becoming...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on human oral cancer cells.
Abstract: Discoveries of the beneficial cellular and biochemical effects have strengthened the rationale for the administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of osteoradionecrosis (ORN). Malignancies, however, are...
Management of anaerobic infection.
Abstract: The management of anaerobic infection needs to be prompt and appropriate in order to ensure recovery. Management includes the use of hyperbaric oxygen, surgical methods and antimicrobial therapy. Various factors, such as efficacy, bacterial antimicrobial...
Incidence of oxygen toxicity during the treatment of dysbarism.
Abstract: Oxygen (O2) toxicity may result from exposure to partial pressures of O2 above 0.6ATA. Potential toxic exposure for divers occurs during the treatment of dysbarism. In the recompression chamber, PO2 may range from 0.9ATA to 3.3ATA depending upon the...
