Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on vascular function and tissue oxygenation in irradiated facial skin and gingival mucosa. Twenty-two patients, aged 51-90 years, were randomly allocated to a treatment or...
To review the literature on vascular aspects of multiple sclerosis (MS) specifically pathological observations of the perivenular distribution of MS lesions and venous pathology in MS. Comprehensive literature search from 2012 back to 1839. One hundred and thirty two papers from 1839 to 2012 were included in this study. Multiple authors observed central venules in MS lesions as a feature of MS with the first specific mention by Rindfleisch in 1863. Recent high field strength MRI has reintroduced the perivenular distribution of MS lesions to a new generation, and has suggested that there is disease specificity to this distribution. In addition Putnam and others in the 1930s hypothesized that venous disease was causative for MS. Treatments based on these observations have included anticoagulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and recently endovascular venous procedures.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is a device that is used to treat foot ulcers. The study goal was to compare the effectiveness of HBO with other conventional therapies administered in a wound care network for the treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer and prevention of...
Abstract: This study aimed at investigating factors associated to late rectal and bladder toxicity following radiation therapy and the effectiveness of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) when toxicity is grade ≥2. Radiation is frequently used for prostate cancer, but a...
Abstract: To study the effects of ultra-early stage hyperbaric oxygenation on the hind limb bone mineral density in rats after complete spinal cord transection. 55 SD rats were randomly assigned into three groups: sham-operated group (Sham); complete spinal cord...
Abstract: In order to develop more sensitive imaging tools for clinical use and basic research of spinal decompression sickness (DCS), we used diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) validated by histology to assess DCS-related tissue injury in sheep spinal cords. DTI is based on...
Abstract: A significant and consistently positive body of evidence from animal and human studies of thermal injury support the use of hyperbaric oxygen as a means of preventing dermal ischemia, reducing edema, modulating the zone of stasis, preventing partial- to...
