The relationship of decongestant use and risk of decompression sickness; a case-control study of Hawaiian scuba divers.
Abstract: Exposure to cold, dehydration, and aging are known to contribute to the development of decompression sickness (DCS) in divers. Hypertension and nicotine usage have also been suggested as risk factors. Vasoconstriction is an underlying...
Is additional hyperbaric oxygen therapy cost-effective for treating ischemic diabetic ulcers? Study protocol for the Dutch DAMOCLES multicenter randomized clinical trial?
Abstract: The value of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of diabetic ulcers is still under debate. Available evidence suggests that HBOT may improve the healing of diabetic ulcers, but it comes from small trials with heterogeneous...

The cardiac effects of hyperbaric oxygen at 243 kPa using inchamber echocardiography.
Abstract: The adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cardiac physiology are considered a potential hazard during the treatment of some patients. The haemodynamic effects of HBO are poorly understood and the incompatibility of electrical...
Impaired lower extremity wound healing secondary to sirolimus after kidney transplantation.
Abstract: Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug used as part of the drug regimen after kidney, liver, and heart transplantation. There have been numerous reports of transplant surgical wound healing complications secondary to sirolimus. The...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is a treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen intermittently while inside a treatment chamber at a pressure higher than at sea level pressure (ie, >1 atm). In certain circumstances, it represents the primary...
Phlebolymphedema-a common underdiagnosed and undertreated problem in the wound care clinic.
Abstract: This article focuses on the pathophysiology of phlebolymphedema, as well as proper diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped that this article will improve care of patients in wound care clinics and motivate wound care physicians to consider...
