Hyperbaric oxygenation treatment alleviates CCI-induced neuropathic pain and decreases spinal apoptosis.
Abstract: Increased apoptotic changes in the spinal cord may be responsible for the development of chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain. We previously reported the beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in the treatment of CCI-induced...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy attenuates central sensitization induced by a thermal injury in humans.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2 ) treatment has in animal experiments demonstrated antinociceptive effects. It was hypothesized that these effects would attenuate secondary hyperalgesia areas (SHAs), an expression of central sensitization, after a first-degree...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning attenuates hemorrhagic transformation through increasing PPARγ in hyperglycemic MCAO rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) has been demonstrated to attenuate hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in hyperglycemic rats. However, the mechanisms remain to be illustrated. Recently, HBO-PC has been...
Predicting patients at risk of early postoperative adverse events.
Abstract: Adverse events after surgery are common. Identification of markers of at-risk patients may facilitate efficient and effective perioperative resource allocation. This pilot study aimed to identify simple preoperative factors associated with postoperative...
Dental implants in irradiated versus nonirradiated patients: A meta-analysis.
Abstract: The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to test the null hypothesis of no difference in dental implant failure rates, postoperative infection, and marginal bone loss for patients being rehabilitated by dental implants and being previously irradiated in...
Immersion pulmonary edema and comorbidities: case series and updated review.
Abstract: Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) occurs in swimmers (especially triathletes) and scuba divers. Its pathophysiology and risk factors are incompletely understood. This study was designed to establish the prevalence of preexisting comorbidities in individuals...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment and enteral nutrition support with glutamine relieves traumatic brain injury in the rats.
Abstract: The abnormal metabolic processes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been proposed to contribute to secondary injuries after TBI. Therefore, enteral nutrition (EN) support for TBI patients has received more attention. This study aimed to evaluate the...
Radiation-induced neurotoxicity: clinical and radiological improvement after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Andrade, Barros, Camacho, Garrett, Guimarães, , , , (2015). Radiation-induced neurotoxicity: clinical and radiological improvement after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the...
2015 update of erectile dysfunction management following radical prostatectomy: from basic research to clinical management.
Abstract: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most commonly employed curative intervention for the treatment of prostate cancer. However, due to the proximity of the cavernous nerves (CN) to the prostate, RP results in transient and/often permanent erectile dysfunction...
