Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen for necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves the therapeutic administration of 100% oxygen in a pressure chamber at pressures above one atmosphere absolute. This therapy has been used as an adjunct to surgery and antibiotics in the treatment of patients with...
Demonstration of the rat ischemic skin wound model.
Abstract: The propensity for chronic wounds in humans increases with ageing, disease conditions such as diabetes and impaired cardiovascular function, and unrelieved pressure due to immobility. Animal models have been developed that attempt to mimic these conditions...
The therapeutic effect of photon irradiation on viable glioblastoma cells is reinforced by hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) seems to intensify the effect of ionising radiation. We investigated whether HBO combined with irradiation decreases the capability of U251 glioblastoma cells for relapse and metastasis. Cells were treated with O2 at 1.3 bar and then...
Association Between Arterial Hyperoxia and Outcome in Subsets of Critical Illness: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression of Cohort Studies.
Abstract: Oxygen is vital during critical illness, but hyperoxia may harm patients. Our aim was to systematically evaluate the methodology and findings of cohort studies investigating the effects of hyperoxia in critically ill adults. A meta-analysis and...

Effects of pyridoxine supplementation on severity, frequency and duration of migraine attacks in migraine patients with aura: A double-blind randomized clinical trial study in Iran
Abstract Background: Migraine is a chronic disease that affects nearly 6% of men and 18% of women worldwide. There are various drugs, which can successfully decrease migraine symptoms and frequency of migraine attacks, but these drugs usually are expensive. Hence,...
Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials on Safety and Efficacy of Pharmacological and Nonpharmacological Treatments for Retinitis Pigmentosa.
Abstract: Aims. Several treatments have been proposed to slow down progression of Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a hereditary retinal degenerative condition leading to severe visual impairment. The aim of this study is to systematically review data from randomized...
Spatial oxygenation profiles in tumors during normo- and hyperbaric hyperoxia.
Abstract: Inspiratory hyperoxia reduces tumor hypoxia, which is responsible for limited radiosensitivity of tumors. However, very little is known about the heterogeneity of intratumoral oxygenation during this supportive treatment. The study analyzes whether local...
