Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Necrotizing Fasciitis
Abstract: HOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is used in urological diseases: Scrotal/perineal fasciitis and Radiation-induced cystitis (and proctopathy); in urgency and frequency syndrome and with chronic pelvic pain the use of HOT is still experimental. The basic...
Abstract: Middle-ear barotrauma (MEB) is one of the most common side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2). The incidence of MEB has been shown to vary between treatment centers and patients. This study was aimed to determine which patients are at high risk of...
Abstract: Monomicrobial necrotizing fasciitis is rapidly progressive and life-threatening. This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the clinical presentation and outcome for patients with this disease differ for those infected with a gram-positive as compared to...
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly spreading, soft-tissue infection involving the subcutaneous tissues. Necrotizing fasciitis originating from a dental-related source is rare. Practitioners should be aware that this infection could occur in patients who are...
Abstract: There is not enough clinical data to support the benefit of adjuvant HBO2 therapy for necrotizing fasciitis (NF). We retrospectively reviewed our 67 NF cases to compare the outcomes of adjuvant HBO2 therapy versus non-HBO2 therapy. The overall outcome and...
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, life-threatening soft-tissue infection, characterized by rapidly spreading inflammation, with secondary necrosis of the fascia and surrounding tissues. It is mostly caused by group A beta-haemolytic streptococci or...
Abstract: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an area of uncovered bone in the maxillo-facial region that did not heal within 8 weeks after identification by health care provider, in a patient who was receiving or had been exposed to...
Abstract: Accurate assessment and timely interventions are critical in the treatment of patients affected with necrotizing fasciitis, a rare, fulminating, potentially life-threatening, infectious process of the soft tissues. Understanding the natural history and...
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an acute soft-tissue infection, associated with a high mortality and morbidity. To reduce the mortality, an early diagnosis and treatment is essential. Our study aims to identify the number of patients, the microorganisms...
