Abstract: Air-activated chemical warming devices use an exothermic chemical reaction of rapidly oxidizing iron to generate heat for therapeutic purposes. Placing these products in a hyperbaric oxygen environment greatly increases the supply of oxidant and thus...

Neuroprotective effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy monitored by MR-imaging after embolic stroke in rats.
Abstract: The potential neuroprotective effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) were tested in an embolic model of focal cerebral ischemia with partially spontaneous reperfusion. Rats (n = 10) were subjected to embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and diffusion...
Effect of prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen treatment for radiation-induced brain injury after stereotactic radiosurgery of brain metastases.
Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prophylactic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for radiation-induced brain injury in patients with brain metastasis treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The data of 78 patients presenting...
[Treatment of chronic ulcers].
Abstract: Chronic ulcers are a challenge in dermatological therapy. It is essential to establish their etiology in order to treat them, but on many occasions local therapy is of great interest. Treatment of chronic ulcers is currently based on so-called moist wound...
Extravasation of chemotherapeutic agents: prevention and treatment.
Abstract: Most chemotherapeutic agents can cause varying degrees of local tissue injuries when extravasated. The medical treatment of extravasation is based on proper maintenance of the intravenous (IV) line and application of cold or warm compresses, plus the use of...
[Long-term evaluation of chronic diabetic foot ulcers, non-healed after hyperbaric oxygen therapy].
Abstract: To assess the effect of systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic diabetic lower limb lesions, non-healed after this adjunctive treatment, a retrospective controlled study was undertaken. From 1990 to 2003, 96 patients demonstrating chronic Wagner grades...
Improvement in motor and cognitive impairment after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a selected group of patients with cerebrovascular disease: a prospective single-blind controlled trial.
Abstract: Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that a localized decrease in oxygen brain tissue availability contributes to the neurological deficit in patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) who also present with frontal leukoaraiosis (LA) (periventricular...
Hawaiian deep treatments: efficacy and outcomes, 1983-2003.
Abstract: This paper reports on the outcomes and efficacy of the deep treatment schedules employed at the University of Hawaii to treat diving accident victims. These tables utilize increased atmospheric pressures, several mixed gas combinations, and a more gradual...
Hyperbaric oxygen: a new drug in myocardial revascularization and protection?
Abstract: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs following coronary artery revascularization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of this injury. However, the evidence for this is inconclusive. Recent studies...
