Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied the use of dimexide and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in 54 children with severe bone infections.

What They Found

The combined treatment of dimexide and HBOT was effective, leading to an improved general state in the children. Patients also showed reduced tissue swelling, stimulated bone repair in the affected area, and normalized general and biochemical blood test results.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This study's abstract is limited by its age, lack of a control group, and absence of specific HBOT protocol details or long-term outcome data.
