Hyperbaric oxygen in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis: visual evoked potentials and clinical effects.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen at a pressure of two atmospheres absolute were studied in a group of patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. A slight but statistically insignificant shortening of the visual evoked potential...
Hyperbaric oxygenation does not improve multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: Rosen, , , , , , , , (1985). Hyperbaric oxygenation does not improve multiple sclerosis. Annals of neurology, 1985 Jun;17(6):615. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4026233
Cardiovascular effects of spinal subarachnoid anaesthesia. A study in patients with chronic spinal cord injuries.
Abstract: Spinal anaesthesia using 1.2 ml of hyperbaric cinchocaine was found to abolish the autonomic hyper-reflexic cardiovascular responses to bladder distension and produced little alteration in cardiovascular measurements. Barker, Alderson,...

Cutaneous blisters and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: We present the cases of three patients with skin blisters following carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Their blisters appeared to be related to the severity of the poisoning (HbCO levels of more than 40%). Two of the three patients died...

Clostridial myonecrosis.
Abstract: Clostridial infections, particularly myonecrosis, can be fulminant and fatal; they often arise without an obvious history of trauma. The cardinal diagnostic clues (Figure 3) must be recognized so that specific therapy can be initiated...
Superoxide Dismutase and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy of the Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Cu, Zn-SOD values were measured by enzyme immunoassay in the synovial fluid, leukocytes in the synovial fluid, synovial membrane, and leukocytes in blood of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis. SOD activity, lipoperoxide value in serum, ESR, and Lansbury’s index of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis under hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy were also investigated. SOD values of synovial fluid and of leukocytes in synovial fluid from rheumatoid arthritis group were found to be higher than those from osteoarthritis group. No significant difference was found the SOD values in leukocytes of blood and synovial membrane between two groups. In the patients with rheumatoid arthritis under HBO therapy the SOD activity was increased, whereas lipoperoxide values was decreased.
