Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is frequent worldwide but knowledge regarding the epidemiology is insufficient. The aim of this study was to clarify the extent of this intoxication, its mortality and factors associated with mortality. National databases from...
This project proposes to compare epidural versus spinal anesthesia in patients having liver
resection surgery. The investigators hypothesize that spinal anesthesia will result in
improved blood pressure control postoperatively and reduce the amount of intravenous fluids
required after surgery. Spinal anesthesia is expected to provide the same pain control
benefits as epidurals, with faster recovery of function. Spinal anesthesia may be a simple
and effective way to improve and enhance the recovery in the increasing number of patients
requiring liver resection.
Abstract: Kienböck's disease is a rare condition characterised by avascular necrosis of the lunate bone. Its natural history and aetiopathogenesis have not yet been clarified, nor are its triggering factors identified. We present a case of a 17-year-old male gymnast,...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a common consequence resulting from radiation in patients with cancer. Presently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is proposed to have a role in improving wound healing in ORN patients. There is no strong scientific evidence to...

Abstract: Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) manifests as tonic-clonic seizures and is a limitation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as well as of recreational and technical diving associated with elevated partial pressure of oxygen. A previous study...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is widely performed to prevent delayed neuropsychiatric syndrome. Although HBOT can generally be performed with safety, the appropriate management of HBOT still remains unestablished. A...
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may result in acute neurological sequelae, cognitive sequelae, and delay neurological sequelae. The administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to prevent the development of delayed neurological sequelae in CO poisoning have...
Abstract: I recently had the opportunity to present this topic at the ACCWS 7th Annual Symposium. The following is a synopsis of that presentation. We use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for a variety of both elective and emergent indications. It is always important...
Abstract: Early stages of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) can be conservatively treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This study investigated how HBOT modulates inflammatory markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in patients with AVNFH....
