Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning reduces the incidence of decompression sickness in rats via nitric oxide.
Abstract: Divers are at risk of decompression sickness (DCS) when the ambient pressure decrease exceeds a critical threshold. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) preconditioning has been used to prevent various injuries, but the protective effect on DCS has not been well...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Five patients with a one- to 12-day history of symptoms secondary to retinal artery occlusion (RAO) were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) for one hour at 1.5 ATA. Four patients had been diagnosed with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and...
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...
