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...
[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the changes in serum sIL-2R and Fn in severe burn patients].
Abstract: Many reports showed that level of soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) in sera was obviously increased in burn patients, while plasma fibronectin (Fn) was markedly decreased, and they had close relation with the occurrence and development of burn...
Modulation of redox signal transduction pathways in the treatment of cancer.
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage to DNA is associated with induction of stress-activated protein kinases leading to secondary and tertiary effects on the nuclear matrix, cytoplasmic transport mechanisms, and altered mitochondrial and cell...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in trauma surgery].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is achieved when a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen in an environment of elevated atmospheric pressure. Physiologically, this produces a directly proportional increase in the plasma volume fraction of transported oxygen which is...
Soft tissue reconstruction for calcaneal fractures or osteomyelitis.
Abstract: A systematic approach of the surgical management of a calcaneal fracture can minimize the potential of soft tissue complications. When reducing a closed calcaneal fracture, the incision used affects the postoperative complications. The L-shaped incision with...
Indications for surgery in tracheobronchial ruptures.
Abstract: Ruptures of the tracheobronchial tree present a life-threatening situation. Nevertheless, therapy is still controversial. Though conservative treatment by antibiotics and intubation with the cuff inflated distal to the tear is favored by some authors,...

Experimental study on brain oxygenation in relation to tissue water redistribution and brain oedema.
Abstract: The aim of the present experimental research was to study brain oxygenation parameters in relation to tissue water movement and brain cortex oedema caused by focal brain ischemia. It has been demonstrated that local osmotic dehydration of the parietal brain...
