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...
Hyperbaric oxygen prevents bacterial translocation in thermally injured rats.
Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on intestinal microflora and bacterial translocation (BT) caused by experimentally induced thermal injury in rats. Rats were separated into four groups, namely, HBO2 group, thermal...
Management of late complications of pelvic radiation in the rectum and anus: a review.
Abstract: Radiotherapy has become one of the most important treatment modalities for human malignancy. Tumors affecting the organs of the pelvis are increasingly being irradiated for local treatment benefit, with the subsequent complication of anorectal injury of...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: results of the Hyperbaric Oxygen in Acute Ischemic Stroke Trial Pilot Study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has promise as a treatment for acute stroke. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of using HBO in acute ischemic stroke. We conducted a randomized, prospective, double-blind,...
Optimal dosing as a necessary condition for the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: a critical review.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in clinical and experimental acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been controversial for many years. However, in the literature, no data was found on the dose/effect of HBOT in patients with AIS. We analyzed...
Prophylactic high dose methylprednisolone fails to treat severe decompression sickness in swine.
Abstract: Controlled decompression from saturation conditions is not always an option, particularly in a disabled submarine scenario. Hypothesis Prophylactic high dose methylprednisolone (MP) would improve outcome in severe cases of decompression sickness (DCS)....
