The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on postural stability and gait of a brain injured patient: single case study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been found to reduce intracranial and cerebrospinal fluid pressures, and increase grey matter metabolic activity in patients with brain injuries. To date, few studies have quantitatively assessed the...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Hong Kong.
Abstract: The Recompression Treatment Centre on Stonecutters Island has been operating in Hong Kong for more than 5 years and has been used to treat a variety of diving-related and other conditions by means of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Up to the...
Extracorporeal support in an adult with severe carbon monoxide poisoning and shock following smoke inhalation: a case report.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to discuss the case of a patient with severe smoke inhalation-related respiratory failure treated with extracorporeal support. The study was set in a 12-bed multi-trauma intensive care unit at a level one...
Normal diffusion-weighted imaging in cerebral air embolism complicating angiography.
Abstract: We report a case of cerebral air embolism resulting from accidental air infection during cerebral angiography. A 60-year-old man was accidentally injected with air via the left subclavian artery. Angiography demonstrated air within the...

Impact of a deep saturation dive on semen quality.
Abstract: The demonstration dive 'Aurora' has provided an opportunity to study the impact of extreme hyperbaric conditions on male fertility. This operation involved a 33-day diving programme during which divers were exposed to a maximum pressure...
Modification of the Radiation Response of Patients With Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The purpose of this review is to summarize clinical trials for patients with cervical cancer treated with irradiation and modifiers of the irradiation response. METHODS: The MEDLINE database was used to identify clinical...
Hyperbaric oxygen and photodynamic therapy in the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the cardia and the esophagus.
Abstract: The photochemical reaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the presence of molecular oxygen. Because of anoxic regions in tumor tissue and vascular shutdown during PDT, the efficiency is limited. Therefore, the use of hyperbaric...
