Abstract: Testosterone has a modulating effect on inflammatory and healing processes. In this study, we evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HOT) modifies the blood concentration of total testosterone (TT) in patients treated for different pathologies....

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetes.
Oxidative stress and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats under hyperbaric oxygen exposure.
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes not only hyperglycemia but oxidative stress, resulting mainly enhanced production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments are applied various diseases including diabetic patients with...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an anti-infective agent.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves inhalation of 100% oxygen at supra-atmospheric ambient pressure. HBOT is used as either a primary or adjunctive treatment in the management of infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, diabetic foot...
Chronic regional pain syndrome after subtalar arthrodesis is not prevented by early hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Subtalar arthrodesis was performed on a 48-year-old, non-insulin-dependent diabetic with a history of chronic ankle instability and lateral ankle pain. In the early post-operative period he presented as an emergency with an infection at the operative site....
[Elective indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy].
Abstract: Creation of an hyperbaric medical center in Geneva allows development of elective indications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Physiologics effects of hyperbaric oxygen are well known, but credibles clinicals trials lacks. Frequents indications such as diabetic...
Can henna prevent ulceration in diabetic feet at high risk?
Abstract: Mutluoğlu, Uzun, , , , , , , (2009). Can henna prevent ulceration in diabetic feet at high risk? Experimental diabetes research, 2009 ;2009():107496. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20016805
Collagen synthesis, nitric oxide and asymmetric dimethylarginine in diabetic subjects undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The main pathological condition in patients with impaired wound healing is diabetes mellitus. These patients have significantly low circulating nitric oxide (NO) levels because the stimulatory action of insulin on NO synthesis is absent. Additionally,...
Diabetic persons with foot ulcers and their perceptions of hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy.
Abstract: To elucidate how diabetic patients with limb-threatening foot lesions perceive and evaluate content and organisation of treatment in a multi-place hyperbaric oxygen chamber. To our knowledge there are no patients' evaluations of diabetes care in a...
Diabetes: foot ulcers and amputations.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulceration is full-thickness penetration of the dermis of the foot in a person with diabetes. Severity is classified using the Wagner system, which grades it from 1 to 5. The annual incidence of ulcers among people with diabetes is 2.5-10.7% in...
