Effect of neurofeedback training on depression and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis
Abstract Depression and fatigue are common symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and are the primary determinants of impaired quality of life in this demyelinating neurological disease. Untreated depression is associated with suicidal ideation, impaired cognitive...
Major Ben Richards: A soldier’s story of combat and homecoming
Major Ben Richards explains his injury that caused TBI, how it affected his life, and how HBOT has helped give him his life back.
Effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide on brain mitochondrial respiratory deficits in an Alzheimer’s disease-relevant murine model
Abstract Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with morphological and functional abnormalities limiting the electron transport chain and ATP production. A contributing factor of...
Optical Imaging of Tumor Response to Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and Irradiation in an Orthotopic Mouse Model of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used in the treatment of radiation-induced tissue injury but its effect on (residual) tumor tissue is indistinct and therefore investigated in this study. Orthotopic FaDu tumors were established in mice, and the response...

Peripheral nerve injury induces persistent vascular dysfunction and endoneurial hypoxia, contributing to the genesis of neuropathic pain.
Abstract: Nerve injury is associated with microvascular disturbance; however, the role of the vascular system has not been well characterized in the context of neuropathic pain. Furthermore, ischemia is thought to play a role in a number of neuropathic pain...
Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on programmed resolution of inflammation pathway markers in human cells in culture
Abstract Inflammation is a complex process involving distinct but overlapping biochemical and molecular events that are highly regulated. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is increasingly used to treat pain and edema associated with inflammation following...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on Pseudomonas aeruginosa susceptibility to imipenem and macrophages.
Abstract: The seriousness to treat burn wounds infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa led us to examine whether the effect of the carbapenem antibiotic imipenem is enhanced by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The effects of HBO (100% O2, 3 ATA, 5 h) in combination with imipenen...
Sternoclavicular joint septic arthritis with chest wall abscess in a healthy adult: a case report.
Abstract: Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint is rare. It can be associated with serious complications such as osteomyelitis, chest wall abscess, and mediastinitis. In this report, we describe a case of an otherwise healthy adult with septic arthritis of...
