Headache and facial pain in scuba divers.
Abstract: Headache occasionally occurs during or after scuba diving. Although its significance often is benign, headache may signal a serious neurological disorder in some circumstances. In addition to the usual causes of headache, the diagnostic evaluation should...
Hyperbaric oxygen solution infused into the anterior interventricular vein at reperfusion reduces infarct size in swine.
Abstract: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that raising myocardial O2 via diffusion of a hyperbaric oxygen solution (AO) administered through the anterior interventricular vein (AIV) will reduce infarct size by reducing reperfusion injury associated with...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment does not affect left ventricular chamber stiffness after myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis.
Abstract: It has been shown that transient increase in left ventricular stiffness, assessed by Doppler-derived early filling deceleration time, occurs during the first 24 to 48 hours after myocardial infarction but returns to normal within several days. It has been...
Head and neck infections caused by Streptococcus milleri group: an analysis of 17 cases.
Abstract: Streptococcus milleri group (SMG) is a common inhabitant of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, and can be an aggressive pathogen causing abscess formation at various sites in the body. However, it has rarely been listed as a cause of head and neck...
Branch retinal artery occlusion: a complication of iron-deficiency anemia in a young adult with a rectal carcinoid.
Abstract: We report a case of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in a patient with iron-deficiency anemia. Various ophthalmological and laboratory studies were performed. A 32-year-old man had a sudden decrease of vision in his left eye to counting fingers at 30...

Hyperbaric oxygen enhances the expression of prion protein and heat shock protein 70 in a mouse neuroblastoma cell line.
Abstract: 1. Cellular prion protein, PrP(C), is a ubiquitous glycoprotein strongly expressed in neurons with an as yet unknown biological function. In previous studies, we demonstrated that PrP(C) could be regulated by heat shock stress, implying that it might be a...
Results of contemporary surgical management of radiation necrosis using frameless stereotaxis and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging.
Abstract: Radiation necrosis is a well-known complication of radiotherapy for malignant brain tumors. Although surgery was once considered the mainstay of treatment, no recent reports have evaluated the use of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (IOMRI) and...
Effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome.
Abstract: In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study we aimed to assess the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for treating patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Of the 71 patients, 37 were allocated to the HBO group and 34...
