Radiation induced temporal lobe necrosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a review of new avenues in its management.
Abstract: Temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) is the most debilitating late-stage complication after radiation therapy in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). The bilateral temporal lobes are inevitably encompassed in the radiation field and are...
Livedoid vasculopathy managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Livedoid vasculopathy is an uncommon condition resulting in painful lower extremity ulceration and scarring. This condition presents as purpuric macules and papules that progress to painful, irregular ulcers of the lower legs and dorsal...
Hemoptysis and pneumomediastinum after breath-hold diving in shallow water: a case report.
Abstract: We report the case of a healthy 21-year-old woman who performed iterative breath-hold dives in relatively cold water, not exceeding depths of 5 meters but with "empty lungs." At the end of a dive, after experiencing an intense...
Research report: the effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on myocardial biomarkers of cardioprotection in patients having coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Abstract: We have previously conducted and reported on the primary endpoint of a clinical study which demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) preconditioning consisting of two 30-minute intervals of 100% oxygen at 2.4 atmospheres absolute (ATA)...
Beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygenation after neonatal germinal matrix hemorrhage.
Abstract: Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a potentially devastating neurological disease of very low birth weight premature infants. This leads to post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...
