[Life-threatening cellulitis, or Fournier’s gangrene of the perineum].
Abstract: The global mortality for Fournier's gangrene is one in five. In half the cases, the infection is polymicrobial with either anaerobes or gram negative bacilli. Factors which worsen prognosis include renal insufficiency, streptococcal infection, or need for...
[A life saving case of Vibrio vulnificus (septic type)].
Abstract: After eating raw shellfish, 62-year-old man suffered from watery diarrhea and leg pain. The disease developed to septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis of bilateral lower extremities. Vibrio vulnificus was isolated from wound. He was treated with antibiotics,...
Direction and side used to determine the extent of sensory block after subarachnoid anesthesia do not influence the level of the block.
Abstract: Methods of sensory testing in neuraxial anesthesia may supposedly account for different results in reporting the extent of the block. To determine whether the caudad to cephalad versus the cephalad to caudad direction as well as the side of testing, left...

Hemodynamic and oxygenation profiles in the early period after hyperbaric oxygen therapy: an observational study of intensive-care patients.
Abstract: We studied whether hemodynamic and oxygenation profiles are altered in critically ill patients after exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Ten intensive-care patients (two females, eight males) undergoing HBO treatment after major abdominal surgery, after...
Neuroprotective effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in experimental focal cerebral ischemia are associated with reduced brain leukocyte myeloperoxidase activity.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) reduces cerebral infarct size after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats through an unknown mechanism. In other forms of injury, cellular protection with HBO is associated with diminished infiltration of polymorphonuclear...
Successful treatment of radiation-induced brain necrosis by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: We describe a 68-year-old man who underwent hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to manage radiation necrosis of the brain, which developed after two treatments with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to the same lesion. The necrosis was subsequently treated with...
Resolution of compartment syndrome after rattlesnake envenomation utilizing non-invasive measures.
Abstract: Western diamondback rattlesnake envenomation is usually managed by administration of neutralizing antivenom. The development of compartment syndrome is a rare complication that has sparked considerable debate regarding medical vs. surgical management. We...
