Comparison of Two Different Treatment Protocols Using Systemic and Intratympanic Steroids with and without Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Severe to Profound Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of simultaneous steroid and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with severe to profound idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL), which has a poor prognosis. Sixty patients diagnosed with...

The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a systematic review.

Abstract: To evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). An Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane search were utilised to identify various clinical trials on the treatment of ISSHL....

Stability of residual hearing and cochlear implant function following multiple scuba dives: case report.

Abstract: There are limited data regarding the safety of cochlear implants during exposure to pressure changes associated with scuba and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. There are no data regarding the effects of barometric pressure changes on preserved low-frequency...

Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a supplementary therapy of sudden sensorineural hearing loss in the Slovak Republic.

Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy used as a supplement to the first-line medical treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). We tested 68 patients suffering from SSNHL within seven days of hearing loss: 21 patients...

Neuronal nitric oxide inhibition attenuates the protective effect of HBO2 during cyanide poisoning.

Abstract: Experiments have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy reduces cyanide-induced cerebral distress. The exact mechanism behind HBO2's neuroprotective effect is unknown, but has been proposed to be mediated by an increased neuronal nitric oxide (NO)...

Fibromyalgia and nutrition: Therapeutic possibilities?

Abstract Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex chronic condition of unknown etiology, characterized by deep and widespread pain, sleep problems, cognitive impairment, fatigue, and other well-known functional symptoms. Recently, it has been proposed that an imbalance of...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can ameliorate the EMT phenomenon in keloid tissue.

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been widely used in the clinical setting. In this study, HBOT therapy was evaluated for its ability to ameliorate the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon in keloid tissue. Keloid patients were randomly...

Combined Application of Modified Three-Dimensional Printed Anatomic Templates and Customized Cutting Blocks in Pelvic Reconstruction After Pelvic Tumor Resection.

Abstract: Common three-dimensional (3D)-printed anatomic templates have generally been used to reconstruct the pelvis after zone II and III borderline pelvic tumor resection. However, gradual increases in postoperative implant complications and the tumor recurrence...
