[Infections of soft tissues by bacterial synergism].
Abstract: The treatment of synergistic bacterial soft tissue infections includes usually surgical debridements and radical excisions of necrotic tissues, antibiotic therapy and volumic resuscitation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy did not prove efficient in these...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy and cicatrization].
Abstract: HOT is a very useful therapeutic addition in chronic wounds presenting a healing problem and for which usual treatment were unsuccessful. In order to be fully effective, HOT must be included in a strategy of care, taking into account, not only the wound...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic vascular wound management.
Abstract: Many nonhealing tissues are hypoxic, with oxygen tensions frequently ranging from 5 to 15 mmHg. In such an environment, the normal wound healing sequence is disrupted or halted and phagocytic killing activity depressed. So the adjunctive use of hyperbaric...
Carbon monoxide poisoning–recent advances.
Abstract: Proudfoot, , , , , , , , (1990). Carbon monoxide poisoning--recent advances. Acta clinica Belgica. Supplementum, 1990 ;13():61-8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2239067
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of wounds, in plastic and reconstructive surgery].
Abstract: After recalling the mechanism of action of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on healing processes, the authors review the principal indications for this technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery, such as crush injuries and acute post-traumatic ischemia of the...
Patients’ decisions about continuing with therapy in chronic illness: a study of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: The criteria which may be employed by chronically ill people in their decision about whether to continue with therapy were investigated in the context of a clinical trial of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis. An open-ended question about...
Sensitization of hypoxic tumour cells–clinical experience.
Abstract: There is substantial evidence for the presence of hypoxia in human tumours. This is documented by histopathological demonstration of vascular insufficiency, direct oxygen measurements in tumours, as well as by physiological imaging and mapping of hypoxic...
The chief scientist reports … hyperbaric oxygen for multiple sclerosis patients.
Abstract: An 18-month uncontrolled study of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy was conducted in 97 individuals with multiple sclerosis. Two-thirds of the patients were classified as progressive and one-third as stable. Assessment was based mainly on three...
Cerebral air embolism after transthoracic aspiration with a 0.6 mm (23 gauge) needle.
Abstract: A 54 yr old man experienced weakness in his legs, ataxia and subsequent urinary retention after a percutaneous fine-needle aspiration of a tumor in the right lower lobe. Clinical neurological examination and electroencephalography revealed signs of a brain...
