We present a case of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis that was treated successfully with hyperbaric oxygen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Noncompliance

  After emptying nodular abscess, the patient was noncompliant for further surgery. Therefore, it was suggested the association between HBOT and antibiotic therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Turkish

  A 25-year-old Turkish man with a history of sickle cell disease developed sudden painless loss of vision in the left eye and was hospitalized for diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Intestinal Perforation

  He underwent urgent exploratory laparotomy, which led to a diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis without intestinal perforation or necrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neck Pain

  Nine months later, he presented with neck pain, cough with mucopurulent sputum, and fever. A PET-CT scan revealed a fissure in the posterior wall of the left upper trachea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chronic Dermatitis

  However, radiation exposure induces acute or chronic dermatitis, depending on the radiation dose, interval, tissue volume, or irradiated area of the body. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Seizure

  area to explore whether the patients who experienced seizures in the hyperbaric chamber had other medical comorbidities or were on medications which lowered their seizure threshold, thereby contributing to oxygen toxicity seizures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Oxygen induced seizures - This complication is very rare. These patients should be given vitamin E before treatment to protect against superoxide radicals. Oxygen induced seizures can be stopped by allowing the patient to breath normal air. [drtbalu.co.in]

• Rectal Ulcer

  In the present study, we assessed the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in five patients with radiation-induced rectal ulcers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We hypothesized that early treatment response could predict treatment failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The primary outcomes in studies I and II will be endothelial biomarker levels after HBOT, and in study III suPAR levels as a marker of disease prognosis and severity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis of unknown etiology characterized by an ulcerative skin condition and confirmed through a diagnosis of exclusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of PG remains poorly understood, but a predominantly immunological pathogenesis involving neutrophil dysfunction seems most likely. [o-wm.com]

As far as it concerns the research data of the patients’ general history, diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism did not seem to affect the etiology of the disease. [hsj.gr]
