Abstract: Alternating hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis mechanisms would lead to multiple organs dysfunction or failure. Herein, we attempt to assess whether hypothalamic inflammation and ischemic and oxidative damage that occurred during heatstroke (HS) can be...

Efficacy of gabapentin for prevention of postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort in patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor.
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of 600 mg and 1200 mg oral gabapentin pretreatment for the prevention of postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) in patients undergoing catheterization after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). One...
Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy alleviates chronic constrictive injury-induced neuropathic pain and reduces tumor necrosis factor-alpha production.
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...
