A Phase I safety study of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Abstract: Vascular endothelial growth factor and mitochondrial abnormalities have been described in ALS and its animal models. We have reported that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment delayed the onset of weakness in the wobbler mouse. To perform a Phase I safety study...
Neurological manifestations in Japanese Ama divers.
Abstract: Repetitive breath-hold (BH) diving can lead to accumulation of nitrogen (N2) in blood and tissues, which may give rise to decompression illness (DCI). An unusual condition is "Taravana", the diving syndrome reported by Cross in the 1960s. That...
A systematic review of the application of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of severe anemia: an evidence-based approach.
Abstract: The treatment of severe anemia with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is one of thirteen indications approved by the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society for appropriate use of the therapy (1). This paper systematically...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on experimental burn wound healing in rats: a randomized controlled study.
Abstract: A body of data supports the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in the treatment of thermal burns, but the role of HBO2 in the treatment of burn injury remains a subject of controversy. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible positive effects...
[Management of radiation cystitis].
Abstract: Radiation cystitis is a lesion of the bladder caused by irradiation of a pelvic organ. These lesions can range from a simple inflammatory reaction to almost complete bladder retraction. The frequency of chronic lesions is estimated to be between 5% and 10%...
Reversible motor and sensory peripheral neuropathy in a patient following acute carbon monoxide intoxication.
Abstract: Central nervous system complications following carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are well reported in the literature but peripheral neuropathy is under-recognized. We report the clinical and electrophysiological studies of the transient peripheral neuropathy...

Pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen and its effect on neuropsychometric dysfunction and systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass: a prospective randomized double-blind trial.
Abstract: Animal studies have shown that pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen can induce central nervous system ischemic tolerance and also modulate the inflammatory response. We evaluated this therapy in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Sixty-four patients...
