Spontaneous clostridial myonecrosis after pregnancy – emergency treatment to the limb salvage and functional recovery: a case report.
Abstract: Clostridial myonecrosis (CM) is a rare, life threatening necrotizing infection of a skeletal muscle caused by Clostridium perfringens in the majority of cases. The diagnosis may be difficult because of few diagnostic and cutaneous signs...
Endoscopic and medical therapy for chronic radiation proctopathy: a systematic review.
Abstract: Chronic radiation proctopathy is associated with significant morbidity. The effectiveness of endoscopic and medical therapies has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of...
Manipulating antioxidant intake in asthma: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background: Antioxidant-rich diets are associated with reduced asthma prevalence in epidemiologic studies. We previously showed that short-term manipulation of antioxidant defenses leads to changes in asthma outcomes. Objective: The...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for air embolism complicating computed tomography (CT)-guided needle marking of the lung].
Abstract: Preoperative computed tomography( CT)-guided marking with a short hook wire for small sized lung tumors has become popular along with the spread of thoracoscopic surgery. Systemic arterial air embolism is a very rare but potentially fatal...

[Effects of hyperbaric oxygenation combined with As(2)O(3) on proliferation of K562 cells and associated mechanism].
Abstract: This study was aimed to explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) alone or combined with As(2)O(3) on proliferation, apoptosis and expression of HIF-1a, VEGF, caspase-3 mRNA of K562 cells, and the molecular mechanism of...
Inhalation gases or gaseous mediators as neuroprotectants for cerebral ischaemia.
Abstract: Ischaemic stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While recombinant tissue plasminogen activator can be administered to produce thrombolysis and restore blood flow to the ischaemic brain, therapeutic...
Mucormycosis in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B associated with deferasirox and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: We report a 38-year-old woman presenting with febrile neutropenia, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and invasive mucormycosis. Bone marrow aspirate was characteristic of AML minimally differentiated (WHO classification 2008). Flow cytometric...
The utility of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat recurrent acute bowel obstruction after previous pelvic radiotherapy: a case series.
Abstract: Repeated episodes of acute bowel obstruction is a potential complication following pelvic radiation therapy. It has been previously thought that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may not be useful for treatment of such obstructive...
