Peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin deficiency, toxins, and medications
Abstract Purpose of review: Peripheral neuropathies secondary to vitamin deficiencies, medications, or toxins are frequently considered but can be difficult to definitively diagnose. Accurate diagnosis is important since these conditions are often treatable and...
Changes in whole-brain functional networks and memory performance in aging
Abstract We used resting-functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 98 healthy older adults to analyze how local and global measures of functional brain connectivity are affected by age, and whether they are related to differences in memory performance....
Hyperbaric oxygen effects on neuronal apoptosis associations in a traumatic brain injury rat model.
Abstract: The neuroprotective mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain unclear, especially neuronal apoptosis associations such as the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), transforming growth-interacting factor...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning Attenuates Myocardium Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Through Upregulation of Heme Oxygenase 1 Expression: PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 Pathway Involved.
Abstract: With the rise of the burden of ischemic heart disease, both clinical and economic evidence show a desperate need to protect the heart against myocardium ischemia-reperfusion injury-related complications following cardiac surgery or percutaneous coronary...
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...
