Abstract: There is a constant search for new techniques that induce more extensive and rapid wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) involves placing a patient in a sealed chamber and elevating its pressure several-fold above ambient air pressure while the...

Combined effects of intravenous perfluorocarbon emulsion and oxygen breathing on decompression-induced spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: The spinal cord is one of the most commonly affected sites in decompression sickness (DCS). Alternative methods have long been sought to protect against DCS spinal cord dysfunction, especially when hyperbaric treatment is unavailable. Use of perfluorocarbon...
Treatment of acute stroke with hyperbaric oxygen: time window for efficacy.
Abstract: We conducted a retrospective statistical analysis of the Heyman, Saltzman, Whalen 1966 study of 22 stroke patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2)--13 of them one to five hours post-stroke. We examined patients who received HBO2 treatment within seven...
Neurologic applications of hyperbaric oxygen: a sad, slow story of smoke and fire.
Abstract: Mychaskiw, , , , , , , , (). Neurologic applications of hyperbaric oxygen: a sad, slow story of smoke and fire.ย Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc,...
Hyperbaric oxygen for neurologic indications–action plan for multicenter trials in: stroke, traumatic brain injury, radiation encephalopathy & status migrainosus.
Abstract: The 2008 Toronto Hyperbaric Medicine Symposium was convened to discuss research into neurologic indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T). Four topics were particularly addressed: acute ischemic stroke; acute traumatic brain injury; brain radiation...
Improvement of clinical outcome and cerebral perfusion in a patient of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction after repetitive hyperbaric oxygen treatment–a case report and literature review.
Abstract: This is a case report of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) for ischemic stroke. HBO2T should be the potential or additional treatment (with thrombolytic therapy) for ischemic stroke according to the preclinical and clinical studies. Hereby, we present a...
Oxygen cycling in conjunction with stem cell transplantation induces NOS3 expression leading to attenuation of fibrosis and improved cardiac function.
Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with irreversible loss of viable cardiomyocytes. Cell therapy is a potential option to replace the lost cardiomyocytes and restore cardiac function. However, cell therapy is faced with a number of challenges,...
[Myocardial infarction secondary to carbon monoxide poisoning–a study of two cases].
Abstract: The carbon monoxide poisoning still remains a main cause of fatal poisoning. The carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after inhalation of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide binds strongly to molecules, such as cytochrome oxidase, myoglobin, hemoglobin, causing...
An in vitro hyperbaric oxygen system for evaluation of free radical damage and protection by catechins on hemorheological parameters.
Abstract: Free radicals play a critical role in causing hemorheologic abnormality which is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease and stroke. In this study, we established an in vitro model to evaluate the influence of free radical attacks on hemorheological...
