Abstract: To use DCE-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging to evaluate the hyperbaric oxygen efficacy (HBO) in experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). Forty-two rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: TBI, TBI + HBO, sham group,...

The implications of the presence of osteomyelitis on outcomes of infected diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: To assess the effect of the presence of osteomyelitis in patients with a diabetic foot infection. We reviewed the records of diabetic patients hospitalized at our medical center for a foot infection over a 2-y period. Using clinical, imaging, and...

Old but new methods in radiation oncology: hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The presence of hypoxic tumor cells is widely regarded as one of the main reasons behind the failure to control malignant tumors with radiotherapy treatments. Since hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) improves the oxygen supply to the hypoxic tumor cells, HBO...
Adjunct methods of the standard diabetic foot ulceration therapy.
Abstract: The outcome of management of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is poor and insufficient. DFU therapy includes the standard management as debridement of the wound, revascularization procedures, off-loading of the ulcer and antibacterial actions, and...
Oxygen Chamber can Boost Brain Repair
We always think of brain damage as irreversible, whether itโs a result of a stroke, traumatic injury or metabolic disorder. But three Israeli researchers recently reported that treatment with high levels of oxygen can reinvigorate dormant neurons and improve patientsโ...
Complete resolution of cerebral air embolism secondary to a transbronchial needle aspiration.
Abstract: Air embolism following transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is extremely rare. To date, only 1 case has been described (estimated incidence: 0.02-0.07%). Here, a 70-year-old patient developed a left upper-lobe alveolar syndrome with no response to...
Effects of alpha lipoic acid and its R+ enantiomer supplemented to hyperbaric oxygen therapy on interleukin-6, TNF-ฮฑ and EGF production in chronic leg wound healing.
Abstract: Lipoic acid (LA) and hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) improve chronic wound healing. We compared the effects of LA or its enantiomer R-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) on wound healing. Groups LA +โHBOT (L), RLA +โHBOT (R) and placebo +โHBOT (P). Lesion areas...
Intracardiac thrombus formation induced by carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the leading causes of poisoning; it inhibits oxygen delivery, subsequently causing ischemic changes and ultimately death by multiorgan failure. Furthermore, thromboembolic episodes due to CO poisoning have been reported....
