Augmented Renal Clearance in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Single-Center Observational Study of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide, Cardiac Output, and Creatinine Clearance.
Abstract: Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is being increasingly described in neurocritical care practice. The mechanisms driving this phenomenon are largely unknown. The aim of this project was therefore to explore changes in renal function, cardiac output (CO), and...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Piperacillin in Nonobese, Obese, and Morbidly Obese Critically Ill Patients.
Abstract: The treatment of infections in critically ill obese and morbidly obese patients is challenging because of the combined physiological changes that result from obesity and critical illness. The aim of this study was to describe the population pharmacokinetics...
Ocimum gratissmum aqueous extract reduces plasma lipid in hypercholesterol-fed hamsters.
Abstract: Objectives: Hyperlipidemia is a significant risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis and related diseases which are major health problem in many developed and developing countries that can lead to fatality due to the changes in lifestyle and dietary...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as additional treatment in deep sternal wound infections – a single center’s experience.
Abstract: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is one of the most serious complications after cardiac surgery procedures, observed in 5% of patients. Current standard medical therapy for DSWI includes antibiotics, surgical debridement, resuturing or negative pressure...
Simulated Microgravity Disrupts Cytoskeleton Organization and Increases Apoptosis of Rat Neural Crest Stem Cells Via Upregulating CXCR4 Expression and RhoA-ROCK1-p38 MAPK-p53 Signaling.
Abstract: Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) are a population of multipotent stem cells that are distributed broadly in many tissues and organs and are capable of differentiating into a variety of cell types that are dispersed throughout three germ layers. We are...
Changes in vasomotion–effect of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with diabetes Type 2.
Abstract: To investigate vasomotion in diabetic patients who underwent sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. Seventy-one patients with diabetes Type 2 and lower-extremity neuropathy were enrolled in a prospective matched case-control study. A total of 39...
Targeting hypoxia to overcome radiation resistance in head & neck cancers: real challenge or clinical fairytale?
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia is a major cause for failure of therapy in patients with inoperable head and neck cancers. Various anti-hypoxic treatment strategies (e.g. hyperbaric oxygenation, hypoxic cell sensitizers) have been tested in clinical trials in head and neck...
