Use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in severe earthquake injuries
CONCLUSION: This study evaluated the possible effects of HBOT on patients with severe earthquake injuries in Türkiye, and the results showed that HBOT may have a beneficial effect on critical factors such as sensory recovery, functional recovery, and amputation rates in this particular group of patients, and that this benefit may be more pronounced in those who started treatment early.PMID:38506387 | PMC:PMC10977492 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.60979 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Superomedial Pedicle Technique and Management of Circulation Problems in Gigantomastia
AbstractBreast reduction surgeries encompass a wide range of methods that are continuously evolving to discover more reliable and satisfactory techniques. This presentation aims to address the research gap by sharing outcomes and experiences using the superomedial pedicle in gigantomastia, as well as the implemented protocol for managing nipple-areola complex (NAC) ischemia. The Wise pattern and superomedial pedicle reduction mammaplasty method were utilized in treating 19 patients (38 breasts). The average age of the patients was 41.47 years, with a basal mass index (BMI) of 33.27 kg/m2. The mean sternal notch to nipple (...

Altitude-Related Illness
Altitude-related illness occurs as a result of inadequate acclimatization. The mainstay of prevention is a slow, graded ascent profile which gives the body time to respond to a low-oxygen environment. The diagnosis of these conditions is often difficult in resource-limited environments, so history and a physical exam are key in identifying patients who will require descent and evacuation. Treatment modalities such as supplemental oxygen, portable hyperbaric chambers, and medications, are all temporizing measures until the patient can be safely evacuated to a lower elevation.
