Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Anesthetic management in a patient previously diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy].
Abstract: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (transient apical ballooning of the left ventricle) is a recently described and often underdiagnosed entity. The syndrome is observed predominately in postmenopausal women and the clinical signs are similar to...
Paradoxical air embolism successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: The use of the central venous catheter may be complicated by air embolism when central venous pressure is subatmospheric and the catheter is open to the surrounding air. Paradoxical air embolus occurs when the gas bubbles are able to...
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaws: current understanding of its pathophysiology and treatment.
Abstract: During the past 80 years a number of theories about the pathogenesis of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) have been proposed, with consequent implications for its treatment. Until recently tissue hypoxia and its consequences were accepted as the...
Cost-effectiveness and budget impact of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as an adjunct to standard methods of care for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Its use may decrease the risk of infection and lower extremity amputations (LEAs). As part of a Canadian...
Remifentanil-TCI and propofol-TCI for conscious sedation during fibreoptic intubation in the acromegalic patient.
Abstract: To evaluate the use of remifentanil-propofol administered as target-controlled infusion during awake fibreoptic intubation for anticipated difficult tracheal intubation in acromegalic patients. In all, 20 consecutive acromegalic patients...
Hypoxic tumor cell radiosensitization: role of the iNOS/NO pathway.
Abstract: Hypoxia is a common feature of the tumor microenvironment and a major cause of clinical radioresistance. During the last decades, several strategies to improve tumor oxygenation were developed such as breathing high oxygen content gas...
Repeated Waon Therapy Improves Pulmonary Hypertension during Exercise in Patients with Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Abstract Objectives: Repeated Waon therapy, which uses a far infrared-ray dry sauna system, improved the vascular endothelial function and the cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary...
Influence of surgical treatment timing on mortality from necrotizing soft tissue infections requiring intensive care management.
Abstract: Surgical treatment is crucial in the management of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of surgical procedure timing on hospital mortality in severe NSTI. A retrospective study...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of angiopathic changes in patients with inherited gene imbalance].
Abstract: Phenotype match inherited by genes is in most cases present in monozygotic twins. Their phenotypic resemblance is unfortunately characterized by strong susceptibility for the development of chronic non-infectious diseases. One of the most...
