Abstract: Frostbite is an injury caused by the freezing of tissue, causing varied levels of tissue damage and necrosis. Case reports have shown a positive effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBOâ‚‚) in such injuries, in acute cases as well as delayed (up to 21 days)...
Abstract: To determine the safety of a hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) protocol and its influence on the healing of uncomplicated open and incisional wounds in dogs. Prospective, controlled experimental study. Adult dogs (n?=?10). Two 2?�?2-cm open wounds and two...

Abstract: Pulmonary edema following hyperbaric oxygen (HBOâ‚‚) therapy is a rare clinical phenomenon. This case report describes such a patient - a 56-year-old woman who suffered from severe pulmonary edema after HBOâ‚‚ therapy for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Patient...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause persistent cognitive dysfunction. A pilot clinical study was performed to determine if hyperbaric oxygen (HBOâ‚‚) treatment improves cognitive performance. It was hypothesized that stem cells, mobilized by HBOâ‚‚ treatment, are recruited to repair damaged neuronal tissue. This hypothesis was tested by measuring the relative abundance of stem cells in peripheral blood and cognitive performance during this clinical trial. The subject population consisted of 28 subjects with persistent cognitive impairment caused by mild to moderate TBI suffered during military deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis was performed for stem cell markers in peripheral blood and correlated with variables resulting from standard tests of cognitive performance and post-traumatic stress disorder: ImPACT, BrainCheckers and PCL-M test results. HBOâ‚‚ treatment correlated with stem cell mobilization as well as increased cognitive performance. Together these results support the hypothesis that stem cell mobilization may be required for cognitive improvement in this population.
Abstract: In Yucatán, Mexico, during the sea cucumber season fishermen dive intensely to obtain good catches but are often at risk of decompression sickness (DCS). We present a single case fatality. We analyzed the clinical course, medical assessment and recompression...
Abstract: For the paper entitled Pain improvement in rheumatoid arthritis with hyperbaric oxygen: report of three cases,' which appeared in the July-August 2016 issue of UHM (43-4), author attributions read as: John B. Slade MD, Mary V. Potts RN, Alan M. Flower DO,...
Abstract: Indocyanine green fluorescent angiography (ICFA), commonly used to assess vascularity in patients with non-healing lower extremity wounds, is emerging as a useful adjunct for hyperbaric oxygen (HBOâ‚‚)therapy patients. We describe the use of ICFA to measure...
Abstract: Surgical excision and lay-open is a well-known technique for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease, which impairs a patient's quality of life considerably since wound healing takes a substantial amount of time. It is known that with this method...
