Treatment of nipple-sparing mastectomy necrosis using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Alperovich, Harmaty, Chiu, , , , , , (2015). Treatment of nipple-sparing mastectomy necrosis using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2015...
Peripheral nerve injury induces persistent vascular dysfunction and endoneurial hypoxia, contributing to the genesis of neuropathic pain.
Abstract: Nerve injury is associated with microvascular disturbance; however, the role of the vascular system has not been well characterized in the context of neuropathic pain. Furthermore, ischemia is thought to play a role in a number of...
A Systematic Review of the Safety and Effect of Neurofeedback on Fatigue and Cognition
Abstract Background: Many cancer survivors continue to experience ongoing symptoms, such as fatigue and cognitive impairment, which are poorly managed and have few effective, evidence-based treatment options. Neurofeedback is a noninvasive,...
Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on programmed resolution of inflammation pathway markers in human cells in culture
Abstract Inflammation is a complex process involving distinct but overlapping biochemical and molecular events that are highly regulated. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is increasingly used to treat pain and edema associated with...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility to imipenem and macrophages.
Abstract: The seriousness to treat burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa led us to examine whether the effect of the carbapenem antibiotic imipenem is enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The effects of HBO (100% O2, 3 ATA, 5 h) in...
Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis with chest wall abscess in a healthy adult: a case report.
Abstract: Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint is rare. It can be associated with serious complications such as osteomyelitis, chest wall abscess, and mediastinitis. In this report, we describe a case of an otherwise healthy adult with...
The continuance time of pressure effect in the rat model of complete Freund’s adjuvant induced arthritis.
Abstract: We previously published on the pressure effect using a rheumatoid animal model (Pain Physician in 2013 and 2014). However, we do not know how long the pressure effect lasts after exposure to high pressure. We evaluated the duration of the...
[Cerebellar abscess due to infection with the anaerobic bacteria fusobacterium nucleatum: a case report].
Abstract: We report a rare case of cerebellar abscess produced by anaerobic bacteria. A 76-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a history of fever, vomiting, and dizziness lasting 14 days. Computed tomography(CT)scan and magnetic...
Principles and practice of hyperbaric medicine: a medical practitioner’s primer, part I.
Abstract: The purpose of this monograph is to narrow the knowledge gap between current medical practice and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Graduate medical education has not kept pace with the expanding science and practice of hyperbaric medicine. The...
