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...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on experimental acute distal colitis.
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is useful as an adjunctive therapy for Crohn's disease. However, its effects on ulcerative colitis have not been investigated. In the present study, HBO was tested for acetic acid-induced colitis, and...

[Anaerobic non-clostridial infection in acute appendicitis].
Abstract: Etiological factors promoting anaerobic non-clostridial infection (ANI) after appendectomy are analyzed for the last 10 years (1993-2002). Acute appendicitis was the indication for appendectomies in 2846 patients. In 55 (1.9%) patients ANI was detected 2-7...
Expression of hypoxia-related tissue factors correlates with diminished survival of adjuvantly treated patients with chromosome 1p aberrant oligodendroglial neoplasms and therapeutic implications.
Abstract: Oligodendroglial neoplasms with chromosome 1p deletion are chemosensitive, and stratified adjuvant therapies have been proposed on the basis of 1p status. In this study, we evaluated expression of hypoxia-related factors and its influence on survival in...
Hyperbaric oxygen for traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Whyte, , , , , , , , (2004). Hyperbaric oxygen for traumatic brain injury. Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2004 Oct;85(10):1732. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15468040
Immediate postoperative pain management in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery after remifentanil-based anesthesia: sufentanil vs tramadol.
Abstract: The transition from intraoperative analgesia to postoperative analgesia must be planned carefully after remifentanil-based anesthesia, due to the short duration of action of remifentanil. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 2...
Hyperbaric oxygen induces rapid protection against focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: The timing and mechanisms of protection by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in cerebral ischemia have only been partially elucidated. We monitored the early in vivo effects of HBO after 2 h transient focal ischemia using repetitive MRI. Wistar rats underwent filament...
