Causative pathogens and antibiotic resistance in diabetic foot infections: A prospective multi-center study.
Abstract: Clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetic foot infections developed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) are commonly used worldwide. The issue of whether or not these guidelines need to be adjusted for local circumstances,...
Brain glutathione levels–a novel biomarker for mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Background: Extant data from in vivo animal models and postmortem studies indicate that Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is associated with reduction of the brain antioxidant glutathione (GSH), yet direct clinical evidence has been lacking. In this study,...
Sensorineural deafness following routine transurethral resection of the prostate.
Abstract: A man in his 50s presented to a rural Australian emergency department with complete unilateral hearing loss following transurethral resection of the prostate. His hearing impairment progressed from 'muffled hearing' with tinnitus on emergence from...
Carbon monoxide intoxication.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritant gas that accounts for numerous cases of CO poisoning every year from a variety of sources of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. These include poorly functioning heating systems, indoor...
Odds Ratio Meta-Analysis and Increased Prevalence of White Matter Injury in Healthy Divers.
Abstract: Increased white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of high altitude aircrew and altitude chamber workers indicate that exposure to low ambient pressure (hypobaria) promotes white matter injury. If associated with...
Sensorineural deafness following routine transurethral resection of the prostate.
Abstract: A man in his 50s presented to a rural Australian emergency department with complete unilateral hearing loss following transurethral resection of the prostate. His hearing impairment progressed from 'muffled hearing' with tinnitus on emergence from...

Ascorbic acid ameliorates oxidative stress and inflammation in dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis in mice
Abstract Ascorbic acid (AA) has been shown to exert beneficial effects, including mitigating oxidative stress and inhibiting inflammation. However, the preventative effect of vitamin C in chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains...
Economic outcomes in clinical studies assessing hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is used to treat acute and chronic wounds. This systematic review was conducted to summarise and evaluate existing evidence on the costs associated with HBOT in the treatment of wounds. We searched multiple electronic...
