Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Necrotizing Fasciitis
Abstract: Nectrotizing fasciitis is a mixed infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue with a characteristic clinical and pathological appearance. Necrotizing soft tissue infections, caused by aerobic, anaerobic and mixed bacterial flora are an increasing problem in...
Abstract: Dental extractions in patients who had radiation therapy for cancer in the head and neck region carry with them the risks of delayed healing, prolonged alveolar bone exposure, infection, and osteoradionecrosis. Among the precautions to minimize these risks...

Abstract: The Authors report their experience in the treatment of soft tissue necrotizing infections. The correct "timing" of the association of surgery, antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy is stressed. The good clinical results obtained in the...
Abstract: This study was conducted to report the rare combination of necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome, which both complicated neglected sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease. A case report is presented. We describe the rare case of a previously healthy...
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and penicillin (PCN) therapy in a murine model of streptococcal myositis. The thighs of Swiss Webster mice were inoculated with Streptococcus pyogenes. Four groups were evaluated:...
Abstract: Group A streptococci are responsible for much of the morbidity associated with skin infections. Necrotizing fasciitis, the most extreme form of these infections, may be life-threatening. Consequently, physicians need to know how to diagnose and effectively...
Abstract: We report a rare case of spontaneously developing generalised gas gangrene with massive rhabdomyolysis after a cholecystectomy and drainage of a hepatic abscess. On preoperative physical examination the patient appeared severely ill and was icteric and...
Abstract: The rapidly aging population and patients with multiple concomitant pathologies present an increasing population of patients with nonhealing and problem wounds causing an unwelcome challenge for all health care providers. Many of these patients are not...
