The predictive value of transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement in diabetic lower extremity ulcers treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a retrospective analysis of 1,144 patients.
Abstract: The objective of this retrospective analysis was to determine the reliability of transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (TcPO2) in predicting outcomes of diabetics who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy for lower extremity wounds. Six hyperbaric...
[Susac syndrome as a cause of sensorineural hearing loss].
Abstract: Susac's syndrome is an extremely rare clinical manifestation characterized by the triad of fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, sudden visual loss and encephalopathy. Probably underdiagnosed, it affects young women who start the clinical history with...
[Mandibular osteoradionecrosis: sword of Damocles of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers?].
Abstract: Radiotherapy of head and neck cancer is efficient but may have severe late effects. Although unfrequent, mandibular radionecrosis is the most dreadful. A cascade of events leads from hyposialia to bone destruction through extensive caries and trauma linked...
Neuropsychological effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cerebral palsy.
Abstract: We conducted a double-blind placebo study to investigate the claim that hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) improves the cognitive status of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Of 111 children diagnosed with CP (aged 4 to 12 years), only 75 were suitable for...
Subdural spinal granuloma resulting from Candida albicans without immunosufficiency: case report.
Abstract: This was a case of spinal subdural granuloma of Candida albicans. A high cerebrospinal fluid protein level without pleocytosis (albuminocytologic dissociation) was observed. This case proved difficult to diagnose and treat. To clarify the important issues in...

Change of oxygen pressure in glioblastoma tissue under various conditions.
Abstract: Measurement of oxygen pressure (pO2) in tumor tissue is important, because pO2 is a major factor for radiosensitivity in malignant glioma treatment. We attempted to elucidate the changes in pO2 level in glioblastoma tissue of patients under various...
Smoke inhalation-induced alveolar lung injury is inhibited by hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Smoke-induced lung injury in rats was assessed in terms of histopathology, gross mortality, neutrophil accumulation and as capillary leak. Administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), 2.8 atm abs for 45 min, inhibited adhesion of circulating neutrophils...
