Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can ameliorate the EMT phenomenon in keloid tissue.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been widely used in the clinical setting. In this study, HBOT therapy was evaluated for its ability to ameliorate the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon in keloid tissue. Keloid patients were randomly...
Medical thoracoscopy removal of a self-expandable metallic stent migration into pleural cavity.
Abstract: Pleuroscopy, also known as medical thoracoscopy (MT), is an important tool for pleural disease management. Removal of foreign body (FB) by MT was reported in a few reports because it can identify the position of a FB in the pleural cavity and can be used for...
Interventions for the treatment of brain radionecrosis after radiotherapy or radiosurgery.
Abstract: Brain radionecrosis (tissue death caused by radiation) can occur following high-dose radiotherapy to brain tissue and can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life (QoL) and function. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism remains unclear...
Prevalence and outcome of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia diagnosed under veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a retrospective nationwide study.
Abstract: Thrombocytopenia is a frequent and serious adverse event in patients treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock. Similarly to postcardiac surgery patients, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)...

Sirt1 mediates improvement of isoflurane-induced memory impairment following hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning in middle-aged mice.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) has been suggested as a feasible method to provide neuroprotection from postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). However, whether HBO-PC can ameliorate cognitive deficits induced by isoflurane, and the possible...
[Hypnoanalgesia, a complementary therapy for painful care procedures].
Abstract: In the framework of the management of patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hypnoanalgesia is a complementary pain management tool, notably during the changing of dressings. Trained in this management of care-related pain, the teams of the hypebaric...
Evaluation of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for the treatment of chronic postoperative pain following lumbar surgery: a pilot, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial
Abstract Background: The incidence of chronic postoperative pain following lumbar spinal surgery has increased with the overall increase in the prevalence of lumbar surgery. This study was conducted to evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic...
