Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers–prudent or problematic: a case report.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is increasingly used in the management of problem wounds, notably diabetic foot ulcers. However, concerns about unnecessary, inappropriate, and prolonged use of this adjunctive treatment exist. A case report of a 52-year-old...
Oxygenation inhibits ovarian tumor growth by downregulating STAT3 and cyclin-D1 expressions.
Abstract: Hypoxia, which is commonly observed in many solid tumors, is a major impediment to chemo- or radiation therapy. Hypoxia is also known to overexpress/activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) leading to tumor progression as well as...
Hyperbaric oxygen effect on MMP-9 after a vascular insult.
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinease-9 (MMP-9) is involved in a host of processes. Many of its processes are physiologically beneficial as well as detrimental. The over-expression of this enzyme has been implicated as a contributory factor to some of the sequalae...

The effects of repeated thermal therapy on quality of life in patients with type II diabetes mellitus
Abstract Objectives:Â Decreased quality of life in diabetes is associated with poor health outcomes. Far-infrared sauna treatments improve the quality of life for those with chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, and congestive heart failure. The objective...
Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on interleukin-1 beta and postoperative pain: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study in breast reduction patients
Abstract Background:Â Surgeons seek new methods of pain control to reduce side effects and speed postoperative recovery. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are effective for bone and wound repair and pain and edema reduction. This study examined whether the effect of pulsed...
[Practical treatment approach of radiation induced cystitis].
Abstract: Establish a pattern of behavior and treatment algorithm at the onset of hematuria in patients with a previous history of pelvic radiation, checking for this different treatment options reflected in the literature. Through performing a PubMed literature...
