Abstract: White smoke inhalation is an uncommon but potentially deadly cause of acute lung injury. No clinical spectrum or treatment protocol have been developed. Twenty patients accidentally been exposed to white smoke during military training were the subjects of...
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) describes necrotizing infections of the perineum in both sexes. Controversies in treatment of FG include the roles of orchiectomy, urinary and/or fecal diversion, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Because burn centers often treat these...
Abstract: Plastic surgeons often have to deal with problematic wounds. In reconstructive surgery, as well as in chronic wounds, tissue oxygen supply is often critically low. Similarly in the treatment of severely burned patients, perfusion and oxygen supply to the...
Abstract: 54-year-old woman with brain gas emboli after an accidental ingestion of concentrated hydrogen peroxide was described. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a water-soluble, caustic liquid. Exposure to concentrated (> 30-35%) hydrogen peroxide may cause...
Abstract: Effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on biointegration of porous polyethylene (PP) implanted beneath dorsal burn scar and normal skin were experimentally examined in Sprague-Dawley rats. In Group One (n=20), daily HBO treatments were given after the...
Abstract: Inhalation of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been reported to decrease arterial oxygen tension (PaO(2)) in the early period after exposure. The current investigation aimed at evaluating whether and to what extent arterial blood gases were affected in...
Abstract: Most treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in plastic surgery is for wounds, burns, crush injuries, and infections. We aimed to find out if HBO increases the survival of composite grafts in rats. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to two...
Abstract: The effect of aging on risk for development of decompression illness in divers has often been reported as an incidental finding in epidemiological analyses of diving accidents. No previous publications have specifically attempted to quantify or qualify those...

Abstract: Transverse furrows, or Beau's lines, were noted in the fingernails of all 6 divers following a deep saturation dive to apressure equal to 1100 feet (335 meters) ofsea water (3,370 kPa), and in 2 of6 divers following a similar dive to 1000 feet (305 meters)...
