Abstract: The high incidence of persistent postconcussion symptoms in service members with combat-related mild traumatic brain injury has prompted research in the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for management. The effects of HBO2 on persistent postconcussion symptoms...

Cortical spreading depression and migraine
Abstract Cortical spreading depression (CSD), a slowly propagated wave of depolarization followed by suppression of brain activity, is a remarkably complex event that involves dramatic changes in neural and vascular function. Since its original description in the...
Resting state EEG abnormalities in autism spectrum disorders
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of complex and heterogeneous developmental disorders involving multiple neural system dysfunctions. In an effort to understand neurophysiological substrates, identify etiopathophysiologically distinct subgroups of...
Ketone supplementation decreases tumor cell viability and prolongs survival of mice with metastatic cancer.
Abstract: Cancer cells express an abnormal metabolism characterized by increased glucose consumption owing to genetic mutations and mitochondrial dysfunction. Previous studies indicate that unlike healthy tissues, cancer cells are unable to effectively use ketone...
Interleukin-10 mediates the neuroprotection of hyperbaric oxygen therapy against traumatic brain injury in mice.
Abstract: The aim of present study was to elucidate the role of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the neuroprotection of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) against traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice. The TBI in mice was induced by controlled cortical impact (CCI). HBO was given for 1h...
ACP Journal Club. Review: in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers, hyperbaric oxygen reduces major amputations.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy activates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which contributes to improved wound healing in diabetic mice.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been used as an adjunctive therapy for diabetic foot ulcers, although its mechanism of action is not completely understood. Recently, it has been shown that HBO mobilizes the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from bone...

Can hyperbaric oxygen be used to prevent deep infections in neuro-muscular scoliosis surgery?
Abstract: The prevalence of postoperative wound infection in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis surgery is significantly higher than that in patients with other spinal surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen has been used as a supplement to treat postsurgical infections. Our...
