Controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for alkali corneal burn in the rabbit.
Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of alkali-induced corneal burns in an animal model. Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into a control group (n = 12) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment group (n = 12)....
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the bout of treatment for soft tissue infections.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is often combined with antibiotic therapy for infections such as gas gangrene and osteomyelitis. Although numerous investigations have been undertaken to assess the effect of adjunctive HBO therapy on the...
[Spinal anesthesia in a patient with hemiparesis after poliomyelitis].
Abstract: A seventy-year-old man who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P), had carried over the palsy after poliomyelitis inflicted at one year of age. Spinal anesthesia using with 7 mg of hyperbaric tetracaine with dextrose...
Is primary chronic osteomyelitis a uniform disease? Proposal of a classification based on a retrospective analysis of patients treated in the past 30 years.
Abstract: Primary chronic osteomyelitis of the jaw is a rare, non-suppurative, chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. To date, classification is confusing due to a non-uniform terminology. The aim of this study was to establish a simple...
Hyperoxemic perfusion for treatment of reperfusion microvascular ischemia in patients with myocardial infarction.
Abstract: In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) primary angioplasty and stent placement is a more effective and better tolerated treatment than thrombolysis, and therefore, when logistics allow, this treatment is preferred and...
Decreased levels of plasma vitamin C and increased concentrations of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers after stroke
Abstract: Background and purpose: Inflammatory response is a critical component of the complex pathophysiological response to stroke. Vitamin C has been shown to have important roles in cell performance and vascular function. In this study, we...
Therapeutic window for use of hyperbaric oxygenation in focal transient ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is an attractive procedure that has been used frequently in cerebral ischemia. However, depending on the model of cerebral ischemia and HBO protocol, different and conflicting results were obtained in the...
The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of radiation-induced late side effects.
Abstract: We investigated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the management of patients with radiation-induced late side effects, the majority of whom had failed previous interventions. Of 105 eligible subjects, 30 had either died...
