Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cesarean section wound in diabetes mellitus gravida.
Abstract: We report the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to treat the complication of necrotizing fasciitis following Cesarean section in a postpartum gravida with diabetes mellitus. Our patient was a 25-year-old, gravida 1, para 1, woman with a history of type...
Neuroprotective Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Brain Injury Is Mediated by Preservation of Mitochondrial Membrane Properties
Abstract Recent experimental data have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was associated increased Bcl-2 expression at the injury site that correlated with reduced apoptosis. We hypothesized that HBOT mediated enhancement of Bcl-2 expression and increased...
Early complications following haematopoietic SCT in children.
Abstract: Early complications can be defined as those occurring within 100 days after transplant. Both epithelial and endothelial damage represent the pathogenetic basis for the onset of the most frequent complications. Clinical features related to endothelial damage...
Early hyperbaric oxygen therapy for reducing radiotherapy side effects: early results of a randomized trial in oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal cancer.
Abstract: Comparison of quality of life (QoL) and side effects in a randomized trial for early hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) after radiotherapy (RT). From 2006, 19 patients with tumor originating from the tonsillar fossa and/or soft palate (15), base of tongue (1),...
Normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for migraine and cluster headache.
Abstract: Migraine and cluster headaches are severe and disabling. Migraine affects up to 18% of women, while cluster headaches are much less common (0.2% of the population). A number of acute and prophylactic therapies are available. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)...
