[Hyperbaric Oxygenation - utility in intensive therapy - part 1]

9 Sep 2009 Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO) is a medical treatment, in which a patient breathes 100 % oxygen inside a treatment chamber at a pressure higher than at sea level. The indication for HBO has to be considered whenever gas bubbles present in tissue or ... Read more...

Toxic and acquired metabolic encephalopathies: MRI appearance.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute encephalopathy is broad. Imaging can help in narrowing the differential in many cases. We pictorially review the more classic MRI features of several acute toxic and acquired ... Read more...

Elevated serum S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase levels in carbon monoxide poisoning.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes cerebral and generalized hypoxia. This study aimed to assess the possible use of serum glial marker S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) as biochemical markers of hypoxic brain damage in ... Read more...
