Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is the result of a highly lethal and rapidly progressive necrotizing infection of the perineal and genital fascia, with gangrene of the overlying skin. The infection is generally polymicrobial and probably synergistic in nature....
Treatment of burned mice with hyperbaric oxygen reduces mesenteric bacteria but not pulmonary neutrophil deposition.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is used but unproven for many conditions, including burns. We hypothesized that HBO therapy might increase oxygen delivery to intestine during burn shock and decrease mucosal injury. University research laboratory. We studied the...
Continuous spinal anaesthesia–evolution of a technique.
Abstract: Continuous spinal anaesthesia is an established technique in which renewed interest has been generated by the availability of small bore catheters suitable for use in the subarachnoid space. Problems include technical difficulty, post dural puncture headache...
Assessment of spinal cord trauma using evoked potentials in a rat model of decompression sickness.
Abstract: A rapid quantitative technique for assessing spinal cord trauma in a rat model of decompression sickness is described. Evoked potentials are measured from the lower limbs of rats before and after dives with compressed air in a hyperbaric chamber. Under...
Hyperbaric oxygen for perianal Crohn’s disease.
Abstract: Perianal involvement in Crohn's disease is common (< or = 50%), distressing, and frequently refractory to treatment. Clinical features include painful induration and stenosis, discharging fistulas, and fissures. The pathogenesis of these lesions is...
