Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess netrin-1 levels in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning to determine its relationship with poisoning severity and neurotoxicity. This is a cross-sectional prospective study. The patients older than 18 years with CO poisoning were...
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of keeping the patient in a sitting position
for 1 minute after spinal anaesthesia in elective caesarean operations, primarily on the
formation of hypotension and secondarily on nausea-vomiting, the need for ephedrine and the
block characteristics.
There is reason to believe that hyperbaric oxygen administered immediately prior to
radiotherapy will prove beneficial for this cancer type and stage. The basis for this
hypothesis is a review of several decades of published work, the conclusion of a recent
(2018) Cochrane Review, and results of a Phase I trial.
Comparison between prophylactic continuous variable infusion of phenylephrine (starting dose
0,5mcg/kg/min) and norepinephrine tartrate (starting dose 0,1mcg/kg/min) to prevent
hypotension and maintain cardiac output under spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric 5 mg bupivacaine + fentanyl 25 mcg
versus hyperbaric 7.5 mg bupivacaine + fentanyl 25 mcg to lower incidence of hypotension
Abstract: Acute carbon monoxide poisoning is a common environmental emergency worldwide. Treatment options are limited to normobaric oxygen therapy with a nonrebreather face mask or endotracheal tube and hyperbaric oxygen. The aim of this study is to determine the...
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (pCD) has a significant impact on patients' health and quality of life. Current treatment options have a relatively low success rate and a high recurrence risk. Positive effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2)...
Abstract: Calcific uremic arteriopathy (CUA), termed calciphylaxis, is a rare but highly fatal clinical syndrome. There is no clearly laboratory diagnostic criteria for CUA. The medium and small arterial calcification and microthrombosis discovered by skin biopsy,...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a major cause of chronic, neurological disability, with a significant long-term disability burden, often requiring comprehensive rehabilitation. To systematically evaluate evidence from published Cochrane Reviews of clinical trials to summarise the evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation interventions for people with MS (pwMS), to improve patient outcomes, and to highlight current gaps in knowledge. We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews up to December 2017, to identify Cochrane Reviews that assessed the effectiveness of organised rehabilitation interventions for pwMS. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of included reviews, using the Revised Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (R-AMSTAR) tool, and the quality of the evidence for reported outcomes, using the GRADE framework. Overall, we included 15 reviews published in the Cochrane Library, comprising 164 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and four controlled clinical trials, with a total of 10,396 participants. The included reviews evaluated a wide range of rehabilitation interventions, including: physical activity and exercise therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), whole-body vibration, occupational therapy, cognitive and psychological interventions, nutritional and dietary supplements, vocational rehabilitation, information provision, telerehabilitation, and interventions for the management of spasticity.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used successfully in the treatment of specific ischemic injuries, but has been a little evaluated specifically in postoperative ischemic bronchitis (POIB). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of HBOT when used for POIB after resection of lung cancer. From January 1999 to December 2016, 1,100 patients underwent lymph node dissection (LND) and either anatomic pulmonary resection or lung resection with bronchoplasty for lung cancer. POIB was diagnosed by bronchoscopy. HBOT was administered after POIB was diagnosed. HBOT comprised one 60-minute session daily in the hyperbaric chamber at 2.0 absolute atmospheres with 100% oxygen.
