Hyperbaric oxygen therapy modulates serum OPG/RANKL in femoral head necrosis patients Open
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has beneficial effects on avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH), but its mechanism of action is still unclear. We investigated if HBOT upregulates serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) and/or inhibits osteoclast …

Congenital complete absence of pericardium presenting with chest pain: MRI characteristics Open
Congenital absence of the pericardium is a very rare anomaly which has an incidence of 1 in 14000 cases in autopsy studies. Defects in the pericardium are either partial or complete with complete defects having a much benign course than pa…

Plasma Free Hemoglobin Is an Independent Predictor of Mortality among Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support Open
PFHb > 50 mg/dL checked 24-hour post ECMO implantation is a useful tool to predict mortality. We propose the routine checking of PFHb 24-hours after ECMO initiation for early identification and treatment of the cause of hemolysis.
