Hyperbaric oxygen for treating wounds: a systematic review of the literature.
Abstract: To determine whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is an effective adjunct treatment for hypoxic wounds. We identified studies from technology assessment reports on HBO and a MEDLINE search from mid-1998 to August 2001. We accepted randomized controlled...
Prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen treatment and rat spinal cord re-irradiation.
Abstract: Normal tissue injury may lead to severe, life threatening, late side effects after therapeutic use of irradiation. Neurological complications caused by radiation of the spinal cord are ascribed to progressive, irreversible damage to the vasculature....

[Does a high inspired oxygen concentration consistently play a key role in developing combustion in the airway during fiberoptic bronchoscopy guided laser treatment?–A case of firing in the airway under total intravenous anesthesia].
Abstract: We experienced combustion of a fiberoptic bronchoscope and an endotracheal tube, as well as tracheo-bronchial burn during a diode laser treatment in a hypoxemic patient requiring continuous oxygen administration. Total intravenous anesthesia and a high...
Multiple sclerosis presenting as neurological decompression sickness in a U.S. navy diver.
Abstract: A case of clinically definite multiple sclerosis presenting as neurological decompression sickness is presented. A 23-yr-old U.S. Navy diver experienced onset of hypesthesia of the left upper trunk approximately 19 h after making two SCUBA dives. She did not...
Electroencephalography in migraine: a review with focus on quantitative electroencephalography and the migraine vs. epilepsy relationship
Abstract EEG-studies in migraine in the last decade has contributed modestly to the understanding of headache pathogenesis. Headache patient groups seem to have increased EEG responses to photic stimulation, but a useful biological marker for migraine in single...
Case report: multidisciplinary treatment of a patient with gas-producing phlegmone.
Abstract: The authors present a 51-year-old patient with a severe case of gas-producing phlegmone following incision of a perianal abscess. Early diagnosis and extensive surgical excision during the first 12 hours from the onset of symptoms are crucial. Treatment of...
Rehabilitation of dental implants for the post-irradiated and marginally resected mandible in an oral cancer patient.
Abstract: We describe a case with severely compromised edentulous ridge in the mandible, which previously received marginal resection and radiotherapy due to oral cancer at the mouth floor. Through careful evaluation, the patient had 30 dives of hyperbaric oxygen...
