Article Abstract
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) was examined using MSG mice, which are an animal model of obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Nineteen MSG male mice were divided into HBOT treated and control groups at 12 weeks of ages. The HBOT group was treated with hyperbaric oxygen from 12 to 14 weeks (first phase) and then from 16 to 18 weeks (second phase). Interestingly, the body weight of the HBOT group was significantly lower (P < 0.01) than that of the control group. In contrast, the serum lipid level did not show significant changes between the two groups. As for the effects of increasing oxidative stress, the liver histology of the HBOT group showed severer cellular damage and aberrant TNF-α expression. HBOT has the advantage of improving obesity in patients with metabolic syndrome, but the fault of causing organ damage by increasing oxidative stress.

Crush syndrome remains a life-threatening complication of traumatic injuries, especially in mass casualty and disaster scenarios. This systematic review evaluates the current clinical and mechanistic understanding of crush-related pathophysiology, anatomical impact, and renal complications, with a focus on therapeutic interventions. Studies were selected using the PICO framework and analyzed under PRISMA guidelines.

Nonhealing wounds are increasingly prevalent, present in 1% to 2% of the global population, with higher incidence in geriatric patients. These chronic wounds pose challenges to older adult patients owing to physiologic changes that hinder healing, common medical comorbidities that promote inflammation and damage microcirculation, poor nutritional status and mobility, and psychosocial barriers to receiving care. In this literature review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, systems costs, and management of chronic venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot wounds in older adult patients are investigated.

Objective: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a time-critical therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusion. To improve transfer efficiency, a web-based EVT transfer system was implemented in the Taiwan Stroke Network. This study evaluated its impact on workflow metrics and patient outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the relationship among seminal oxidation-reduction potential (nORP), sperm DNA fragmentation (DFI) and semen parameters in patients with varicocele.
Methods: Clinical data of 522 patients treated in the reproductive andrology clinic of the Northern Theater General Hospital from November 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 435 men of childbearing age and 87 men of infertile age. The patients were divided into the varicocele group (n=116) and non-varicocele group (n=406) according to clinical diagnosis.
