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...

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on bone tissue reactions to c.p. titanium implants placed in free autogenous bone grafts. A histomorphometric study in the rabbit mandible.
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the tissue reactions to commercially pure (c.p.) titanium implants placed in free autogenous bone graft by a 1-stage procedure. Eighty c.p. titanium implants were placed in the...
[Appearance of angry backfiring C-nociceptor (ABC) syndrome-like pain disorder in cross-side of one-side spinal anesthesia].
Abstract: ABC (angry backfiring C-nociceptor) syndrome-like pain disorder categorized in sympathetic independent pain appeared after amputation during spinal anesthesia. A 69-year-old female who had undergone amputation of the right leg below knee 5 months before,...
Neutrophil sequestration and the effect of hyperbaric oxygen in a rat model of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion.
Abstract: A rat model of reversible occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was developed to assess the role of neutrophils and prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on cerebral injury. Blood flow to the ipsilateral caudate putamen nucleus was reduced by approximately...
Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygenation in macular edema of vascular origin.
Abstract: Macular edema (ME) is a primary reason for permanent decreases of visual acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The standard treatment (photocoagulation, rheological treatment) provide only a limited success. We have therefore...
Acute effects of combined photodynamic therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation in lung cancer–a clinical pilot study.
Abstract: Photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT) is based upon a photochemical reaction that is limited by the availability of molecular oxygen in the target tissue. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) increases the amount of oxygen available for the process may thereby...
Deep sternal wound infection: the role of early debridement surgery.
Abstract: This retrospective chart review study aimed to evaluate whether a more aggressive staged approach can reduce morbidity and mortality following post-cardiotomy deep sternal wound infection. Between 1979 and 2000, 14620 patients underwent open heart surgery:...
