Inflammatory arthritis associated with thromboangiitis obliterans.
Abstract: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is an uncommon to rare vasculitis of small and medium arteries and veins typically affecting young male smokers. Inflammatory arthritis has only been rarely reported in association with TAO. We describe...

Infrared therapy for chronic low back pain: a randomized, controlled trial
Abstract Objective: The objective of the present study was to assess the degree of pain relief obtained by applying infrared (IR) energy to the low back in patients with chronic, intractable low back pain. Methods: Forty patients with chronic low...
Side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in children with cerebral palsy.
Abstract: This article reports the side effects observed in a double-blind placebo-controlled multi-center randomized clinical trial carried out to assess the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in children with cerebral palsy....
Indication for hyperbaric oxygen treatment as a predictor of tympanostomy tube placement.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has been utilized for many years for a multitude of disease entities. One commonly encountered side-effect is otic barotrauma. To determine if patients with specific disease processes are at increased risk...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might improve certain pathophysiological findings in autism.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder currently affecting as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Numerous studies of autistic individuals have revealed evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and gastrointestinal inflammation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, relative mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter abnormalities, impaired detoxification of toxins, dysbiosis, and impaired production of porphyrins. Many of these findings have been correlated with core autistic symptoms. For example, cerebral hypoperfusion in autistic children has been correlated with repetitive, self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors, and impairments in communication, sensory perception, and social interaction.
Suprasternal Doppler estimation of cardiac output: standard versus sequential combined spinal epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
Abstract: Sequential (Seq) combined spinal epidural (CSE) may provide better cardiovascular stability than standard (Std) CSE for cesarean delivery. We compared the cardiovascular stability of both techniques using suprasternal Doppler. Healthy...
Venous leg ulcers in the elderly patient: associated stress, social support, and coping.
Abstract: Although psychosocial issues in wound management are critical considerations when formulating diagnostic and treatment algorithms, they frequently are overlooked. Clinician consideration and evaluation of associated stresses, social...
