Abstract: The development of hyperalgesia and allodynia after chronic constrictive injury (CCI) is associated with significantly increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Theoretically, if the production of TNF-α and/or IL-1β could be reduced,...

Electroencephalographic rhythms in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Physiological brain aging is characterized by synapses loss and neurodegeneration that slowly lead to an age-related decline of cognition. Neural/synaptic redundancy and plastic remodelling of brain networking, also due to mental and physical training,...
What is the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the management of diabetic foot disease?
Abstract: Systemic hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is accomplished when a patient is breathing 100% oxygen in an environment with increased barometric pressure. A typical HBO treatment protocol of diabetic foot ulcer involves 20 to 40 sessions. Treatment is usually given as...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health issue. The complexity of TBI has precluded the use of effective therapies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to be neuroprotective in multiple neurological disorders, but its efficacy in the...
Baicalein inhibits the migration and invasive properties of human hepatoma cells.
Abstract: Flavonoids have been demonstrated to exert health benefits in humans. We investigated whether the flavonoid baicalein would inhibit the adhesion, migration, invasion, and growth of human hepatoma cell lines, and we also investigated its mechanism of action....
[Late revelation of air embolism after transthoracic needle biopsy].
Abstract: Percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is a useful and common procedure in the investigation of a lung nodule. The occurrence of air embolism after percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is extremely rare. We report a 62-year-old woman who presented with...
Maintenance of negative-pressure wound therapy while undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Both negative wound pressure therapy (NPWT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are useful modalities in the treatment of problem wounds. However, none of the commercially available portable negative-pressure devices have been certified safe for use in a...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning protects cortical neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation injury: role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma.
Abstract: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Our previous studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning can afford significant neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in...
Long-lasting neuronal loss following experimental focal cerebral ischemia is not affected by combined administration of tissue plasminogen activator and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Acute focal cerebral ischemia and consecutive energy failure are accompanied by neuronal death in regions with impaired cerebral blood flow. Several translational attempts of potential neuroprotective agents have failed, hence extended perspectives are...
