Therapy: Hyperbaric Oxygen as the Only Effective Treatment in Mutilating and Resistant Systemic Vasculitis.
Abstract: A forty year old man was seen in 1984 with a four year history of a painful vasculitis that responded transiently to plasma exchange. Diagnosis was revised to atypical pyoderma gangrenosum with further temporary benefit from lamprene and continuing maximally...
Topical hyperbaric oxygen and low energy laser therapy for chronic diabetic foot ulcers resistant to conventional treatment.
Abstract: Chronic foot ulcers are common in long-standing diabetes, may herald severe complications and are often resistant to therapy. To evaluate the effects of adjunctive topical hyperbaric oxygen treatment (THBO) and low energy laser (LEL) irradiation on ulcer...

Abstract This double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of 4 weeks of impulse magnetic-field therapy (16 Hz, 5 microTs), delivered through a small device, for different types of headache and migraine. Eighty-two patients were randomly assigned to...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy given 30 minutes after spinal cord ischemia attenuates selective motor neuron death in rabbits.
Abstract: Spinal cord ischemia sometimes causes paraplegia because the spinal motor neuron cells are vulnerable to ischemia. Although various protective remedies for spinal cord injury have been reported, there have been few established clinical methods. Although...
[Fournier’s gangrene: remarks on two clinical cases].
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is a genital and perineal necrotizing fascitiis with a rapid evolution. It's an affection caused by aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms, eventually associated with a superinfection by micetes. It has characterised by a deep oedema...
