Abstract: Intracoronary aqueous oxygen (AO) hyperoxemic perfusion, initiated shortly (15-30 min) after the onset of postinfarction reperfusion, reduces infarct size and improves left ventricular function. Whether such therapy provides similar benefits when...

Spinal cord decompression sickness associated with scuba diving: correlation of immediate and delayed magnetic resonance imaging findings with severity of neurologic impairment–a report on 3 cases.
Abstract: There are few reports detailing an association between immediate and delayed changes in MR imaging findings and severity of neurologic impairment in patients with spinal cord DCS. We report on the cases of 3 patients diagnosed with spinal cord DCS presenting...
Retroperitoneal gas gangrene after colonoscopic polypectomy without bowel perforation in an otherwise healthy individual: report of a case.
Abstract: Abdominal gas gangrene caused by clostridia species is rare and usually associated with organ perforation, immune suppression, or advanced malignoma. A 61-year-old man was admitted with severe back pain 1 day after uncomplicated colonoscopic polypectomy....
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation tissue injury.
Abstract: Cancer is a significant global health problem. Radiotherapy is a treatment for many cancers and about 50% of patients having radiotherapy with be long-term survivors. Some will experience LRTI developing months or years later. HBOT has been suggested for...
Hyperbaric oxygen reduces blood-brain barrier damage and edema after transient focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to protect the brain parenchyma against transient focal cerebral ischemia, but its effects on the ischemic microcirculation are largely unknown. We examined the potential of HBO to reduce postischemic blood-brain...
Surgical treatment of pharyngostomes in irradiated patients. Our experience with musculocutaneous pectoralis major flap and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Our experience confirms that pectoralis major flap is the first-choice technique for repairing recurrent hypopharyngeal fistulae in previously irradiated patients in whom microsurgical techniques are not indicated, and that hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps to...
Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is a serious complication of radiation therapy to the head and neck. Given the increased use of radiation therapy and combined chemotherapy-radiation therapy regimens in treatment of head and neck malignancies, it is...
A retrospective study of patients with diabetes mellitus after partial foot amputation and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: A retrospective chart review was conducted of 35 patients (40 feet) who received hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy after partial foot amputation between 1990 and 2000. Preoperative transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (tcPO2) levels, the number of...
