Cerebral arterial gas embolism following diagnostic bronchoscopy: delayed treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: To describe a clinical scenario consistent with the diagnosis of cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE) acquired during an outpatient bronchoscopy. Our discussion explores the mechanisms and diagnosis of CAGE and the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A...

Abstract: To evaluate the results of treatment of nonclostridial gas gangrene at a Level 1 trauma center. Retrospective. Level 1 trauma center. Seven patients with nonclostridial gas gangrene were studied. The average age of all patients at the time of admission was...
[Reimbursement and importance of hyperbaric oxygenation for diabetic foot ulcers in German publically funded ambulatory health care].
Abstract: The Standing Committee of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians and Sickness Funds is the legal body that makes decisions on reimbursement for health care services in the German ambulatory health care sector. In 1994, the Committee declined the reimbursement...
Multiple occlusive retinal arteritis in both eyes of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
Abstract: To report multiple occlusive retinal arteritis as a complication of rheumatoid arthritis. A 67-year-old woman developed superotemporal branch retinal artery occlusion in both eyes, together with arterial sheathing and large cotton wool patches around the...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning induces neuroprotection against ischemia in transient not permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion rat model.
Abstract: This study was designed to determine if repeated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) exposure induces ischemic tolerance in focal cerebral ischemia. Sixty male SD rats were used in this study. Thirty animals underwent transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)...
[Fournier syndrome: multidisciplinary approach].
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene, a form of necrotizing fasciitis, is an uncommon, fulminant, rapidly progressing subcutaneous infection of the scrotum and genito-perineal region, and may occur in all age groups. Most cases involve a mixed synergistic infection of...
