Hyperbaric oxygenation prevented brain injury induced by hypoxia-ischemia in a neonatal rat model.
Abstract: The occurrence of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) during early fetal or neonatal stages of an individual leads to the damaging of immature neurons resulting in behavioral and psychological dysfunctions, such as motor or learning disabilities,...

[Local care and medical treatment for ischemic diabetic ulcers].
Abstract: Optimal medical treatment of ischemic diabetic ulcers is multifactorial. Infection is very common and it is necessary to distinguish between limb or life threatening infections and non-limb-threatening infections. The major pathogen...
Long Bone Osteomyelitis.
Abstract: Osteomyelitis is a complex disease that is often associated with high morbidity and considerable health care costs. Bacteremia, contiguous focuses of infection, penetrating trauma, or surgery are the major predisposing factors for this...
Spinal block or total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil for gynaecological outpatient procedures.
Abstract: The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to compare the preparation and discharge times, the side-effects and patient satisfaction after gynaecological outpatient procedures performed using either spinal block or total...
Medicare Decision on HBOT for Diabetic Wounds
Decision Memo for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Hypoxic Wounds and Diabetic Wounds of the Lower Extremities (CAG-00060N) Diabetic Wounds of the Lower Extremities: The evidence is adequate to conclude that HBO therapy is clinically effective and,...
Improvement of tumor response by manipulation of tumor oxygenation during photodynamic therapy.
Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) requires molecular oxygen during light irradiation to generate reactive oxygen species. Tumor hypoxia, either preexisting or induced by PDT, can severely hamper the effectiveness of PDT. Lowering the light...
Uneventful spinal anesthesia for a patient with carcinoid syndrome managed with long-acting octreotide.
Abstract: To present a case of spinal anesthesia in a patient suffering from carcinoid syndrome undergoing an inguinal hernia repair. In the past, regional anesthesia was considered unacceptable in these patients because of the possibility of...
