Abstract: Clostridial myonecrosis (CM) is a rare, life threatening necrotizing infection of a skeletal muscle caused by Clostridium perfringens in the majority of cases. The diagnosis may be difficult because of few diagnostic and cutaneous signs early in its course....
Abstract: Chronic radiation proctopathy is associated with significant morbidity. The effectiveness of endoscopic and medical therapies has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of endoscopic and comparative...
Abstract: This paper discusses the role of molecular oxygen as an aid to wound healing, and the potential value of the three major therapies which allow the delivery of oxygen to the wound site: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Topical Oxygen Therapy (TOT) and a new...
Abstract: Wound healing is actually a complex, precisely coordinated interaction between inflammatory cells and mediators, establishing significant overlap between the phases of wound healing. Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that do not follow the well-defined...
Abstract: Decisions on local and systemic wound treatment vary among surgeons and are frequently based on expert opinion. The aim of this meta-review was to compile best available evidence from systematic reviews in order to formulate conclusions to support...
Abstract: There are a growing number of wound care centers being established globally. The emergence of these centers reflects the increasing incidence and prevalence of chronic wounds as well as the cost to the health care systems these patients represent. A...
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy has not been accepted as a standard therapy for traumatic brain injuries, it has been used, along with rehabilitative exercises, for traumatic brain injuries, and the standard protocol has a low risk of complications. We...
Abstract: Abstract Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is a rare but life-threatening disorder of arteriolar calcification. It frequently leads to severe ischemia, intense pain, and tissue necrosis with non-healing skin ulcerations. CUA usually occurs in patients...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment option for chronic nonhealing wounds. Transcutaneous oximetry (TCOM) is used for wound assessment. We undertook a randomized prospective controlled trial to evaluate the role of HBOT in healing of chronic...
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the management of chronic wound and observe the correlation between wound healing and CD34+ endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). A total of 119 patients with chronic wound in lower extremities...
