Abstract: A case of gaseous gangrene by Clostridium septicum associated with colorectal cancer is presented. The patient evolved rapidly towards septic shock and death. Autopsy showed occult neoplasm and pelvic and retroperitoneal myonecrosis. An exceptional finding...

Abstract: Carbon monoxide intoxication usually disturbs the normal human biochemical respiratory chain cascade from which high affinity of carboxyhemoglobin to oxygen causes ischemic insult to the human tissues and cells. Ubiquitous injuries to human cells have...
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on humans are uncertain. Our study aims first to outline the practical aspects and the safety of HBO treatment and then to evaluate the effect of HBO on long-term disability. Patients who experienced middle...
Abstract: Patients with hereditary generalized neuromuscular diseases develop respiratory failure and decreased maximal inspiratory pressure (Pi max) due to both, involvement of respiratory muscles in the disease and secondary spine- and thorax-deformity. In recent...
Abstract: Experimental myocardial infarction was induced in 50 rabbits, 25 of which were subjected to hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) used as a single procedure or in combination with the antioxidant tocopheroli acetas. HBO was found to promote reduction of the...
Abstract: We report our experience with general anaesthesia (GA) supplemented with subarachnoid bupivacaine and morphine for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in 18 patients. Fifteen patients were male, and mean age was 62 yr. Anaesthesia (GA) was induced with...
Abstract: A total of 52 patients with myocardial infarction have been examined. The patients have been subjected to HBO procedures. 40-62 min sessions with a working pressure of 0.3-1.1 atm were performed. The optimal pressure during the first days is 0.3 atm with a...
Abstract: We explored the ability of increased oxygen pressure to modify necrosis in an open-chest rabbit model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. A branch of the left coronary artery was occluded for 30 minutes followed by 3 hours of reperfusion. Infarction was...
