[A case of central retinal artery occlusion after anterior posterior fusion of the lumbar spine].
Abstract: We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion after anterior-posterior fusion of the lumbar spine. The patient suddenly lost his vision of the right eye in the ICU just after the end of long procedure for anterior-posterior fusion of the lumbar spine....
Review article: current therapeutic options for radiation proctopathy.
Abstract: Radiation proctopathy is a common unfortunate complication following radiation therapy of pelvic malignancies. Symptoms of chronic radiation proctopathy include haematochezia, urgency, constipation, tenesmus, diarrhoea and rectal pain. Currently, a wide...

Management of haemorrhagic stroke with hyperbaric oxygen therapy–a case report.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia with positive effects on tissue oxygenation. We present a case of haemorrhagic stroke treated successfully with HBOT and review the literature on its role in...
[Tissue hypoxia in acute myocardial infarction and possible approaches to its correction].
Abstract: Gas exchange values were studied in 94 patients with complicated myocardial infarction. The degree of hypoxia correlated with the severity of complications during the acute stage of disease, which coincided with disorders in the myocardial contractile...
Hyperbaric oxygenation pretreatment induces catalase and reduces infarct size in ischemic rat myocardium.
Abstract: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a major complication occurring in heart stroke, cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries, and heart transplantation. Reactive oxygen species generated during the reperfusion phase overwhelm the scavenging capacities of antioxidant...
Applications of hyperbaric oxygen in otolaryngology head and neck surgery: facial cutaneous flaps.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is of significant benefit in the setting of an ischemic flap of the head and neck. Mechanistically, hyperbaric oxygen decreases local tissue edema and improves oxygen delivery to compromised tissues. Both capillary and fibroblast...
