Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon soft tissue infection, usually caused by toxin-producing virulent bacteria. It is characterized by widespread fascial necrosis primarily caused by Streptococcus hemolyticus. Shortly after the onset of the disease,...
Burns
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Burns.
[Respiratory tract burn injuries].
Abstract: Respiratory tract burns are one of the most serious injuries of human organism. They often accompany severe skin burns, increasing morbidity and mortality. Pathologic events happening in the lungs in the course of inhalation injury consist of: edema and...

Hyperbaric oxygen improves ultraviolet B irradiation-induced melanin pigmentation and diminishes senile spot size.
Abstract: The effects of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen on ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced melanin pigmentations of skins and on senile spot sizes of faces were investigated. In the first experiment, male subjects were irradiated with UVB on their upper arms...
Honey for wound healing, ulcers, and burns; data supporting its use in clinical practice.
Abstract: The widespread existence of unhealed wounds, ulcers, and burns has a great impact on public health and economy. Many interventions, including new medications and technologies, are being used to help achieve significant wound healing and to eliminate...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on bone prefabrication in rats.
Abstract: This experimental study aimed to create a prefabricated vascularized bone graft using the interconnected porous coralline hydroxyapatite ceramic by combining vascular bundle implantation, mesenchymal stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: solution for difficult to heal acute wounds? Systematic review.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to treat various wound types. However, the possible beneficial and harmful effects of HBOT for acute wounds are unclear. We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of HBOT compared to other...
QT interval and QT dispersion during the induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation: a comparison of remifentanil and fentanyl.
Abstract: The aim of this paper was to determine if there were any significant differences between the effects of fentanyl delivered as a bolus or remifentanil delivered as a continuous infusion on the QT interval and QT dispersion (QTD) during the induction of...
The effects of pneumoperitoneum and head-up position on heart rate variability and QT interval dispersion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of pneumoperitoneum and head-up position on autonomic cardiac function changes during inhalational or total intravenous anesthesia by using the analysis of QT dispersion and heart rate variability (HRV). In...
