Frostbite of both first digits of the foot treated with delayed hyperbaric oxygen:a case report and review of literature.
Abstract: Frostbite is an uncommon event that can occur from exposure to temperatures below -4 degrees C and can lead to potential serious tissue damage and necrosis. This in turn can result in debilitating amputations in otherwise healthy people....
Radionecrosis 30 years after breast cancer.
Abstract: This report describes the case of a 70-year-old woman presenting to outpatient with a several-week history of a painful mass in her right breast, 30 years after her treatment for primary breast cancer. At first, this was suspected to have...
Protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment against spinal cord injury in rats via toll-like receptor 2/nuclear factor-κB signaling.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious medical problem with high mortality and disability rates. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is beneficial for neurological recovery after SCI, but the underlying mechanisms await characterization....
The management of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws–a review.
Abstract: To review the conservative and surgical management options of osteoradionecrosis, in particular, highlighting the recent the use of anti-radiation fibrosis drugs (pentoxifylline, tocopherol and clodronate). We performed a literature...
Evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic wounds.
Abstract: Treating chronic wounds is challenging. Despite standard wound care, some chronic wounds fail to heal. Therefore, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was developed as an adjunct to standard wound care. To evaluate the efficacy of HBOT for...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on NACHT domain-leucine-rich-repeat- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome expression in rats following spinal cord injury.
Abstract: The clinical application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in spinal cord injury (SCI) has been reported, however the mechanism underlying its therapeutic effects remains to be elucidated. In the present study, SCI was modeled in male...
Management and treatment of osteonecrosis in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Abstract: There is no consensus regarding how to manage osteonecrosis in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. Therefore, we performed a quality assessment of the literature with the result of a search strategy using the MESH terms...
