Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
Abstract: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) improves gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. Forty-nine children aged 3 to 8 years with spastic cerebral palsy were randomized...
The influence of deficiencies of essential trace elements and vitamins on the course of Crohn’s disease
Abstract In patients with Crohn's Disease (CD), malnutrition is frequently observed and is an important complication, frequently associated with nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamins (both water- and fat-soluble) and essential trace elements. It is often a...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of childhood autism: a randomised controlled trial.
Abstract: Promising results with hyperbaric therapy for children with autism have been reported, but most involved the use of only mild pressure with oxygen supplementation. To date, there has been no randomised, blinded trial of 100% oxygen administered at hyperbaric...
Proposal on limits for chemical exposure in saturation divers’ working atmosphere: the case of benzene.
Abstract: Saturation diving is performed under extreme environmental conditions. The divers are confined to a limited space for several weeks under high environmental pressure and elevated oxygen partial pressure. At present, divers are protected against chemical...
Prognostic aspects, survival rate, and predisposing risk factors in patients with Fournier’s gangrene and necrotizing soft tissue infections: evaluation of clinical outcome of 55 patients.
Abstract: To determine predisposing or prognostic factors and mortality rates of patients with Fournier's gangrene compared to other necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). Data of 55 intensive care patients (1981-2010) with NSTI were evaluated. Data were collected...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and optic neuritis: case report and literature review.
Abstract: A history of optic neuritis has long been considered a relative contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, the published medical literature regarding the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with previous optic neuritis is very limited,...
Effects of early hyperbaric oxygen therapy on clinical outcome in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm.
Abstract: To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm. A total of 120 patients who underwent clipping of intracranial aneurysm of the anterior circulation were randomized into the HBO2 group (n = 60) or...
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MRI reveal no evidence for brain mitochondrial dysfunction in children with autism spectrum disorder
Abstract: Brain mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed as an etiologic factor in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ((1)HMRS) and MRI were used to assess for evidence of brain mitochondrial dysfunction in...
