Chondronecrosis of the cricoid treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy: A case series
We present two cases of cricoid chondronecrosis treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. Both patients presented with biphasic stridor and dyspnea several weeks after an intubation event. Tracheostomy was ultimately performed for airway protection, followed by antibiotic treatment and outpatient HBO2 therapy. Both patients were decannulated within six months of presentation and after at least 20 HBO2 therapy sessions. Despite a small sample size, our findings are consistent with data supporting HBO2 therapy's effects on tissue edema, neovascularization, and HBO2 potentiation of antibiotic treatment and leukocyte func...

Physical and Physiological Predictors Determining the Maximal Static Apnea Diving Time of Male Freedivers
This study aimed to investigate what factors determine freedivers' maximal static apnea dive time. We correlated some physical/physiological factors with male freedivers' maximum apnea diving duration. Thirty-six experienced male freedivers participated in this study. The divers participated in two days of the experiments. On the first day, apnea diving time, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), stress index, and blood parameters were measured before, during, and after the apnea diving in the pool. On the second day, body composition, lung capacity, resting and maximal oxygen consumption (V...

Air Embolism-Induced Ischemic Stroke Following Orthognathic Surgery in a Patient With Goldenhar Syndrome
Clin Med Res. 2024 Mar;22(1):44-48. doi: 10.3121/cmr.2024.1882.ABSTRACTGoldenhar syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly, manifests as craniofacial malformations often necessitating intricate surgical interventions. These procedures, though crucial, can expose patients to diverse postoperative complications, including hemorrhage or infection. A noteworthy complication is stroke, potentially linked to air embolism or local surgical trauma. We highlight a case of a male patient, aged 20 years, who experienced a significant postoperative complication of an ischemic stroke, theorized to be due to an air embolism, after undergoing ...
