Principles and practice of hyperbaric medicine: a medical practitioner’s primer, part II.
Abstract: Advances in the treatment of chronic wounds* have steadily occurred over the past decade and include the specialized use of dynamic compression therapy, implementation of moist wound care techniques, chronic lymphedema therapy, negative pressure wound...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic radiation-induced tissue injuries: Australasia’s largest study.
Abstract: Chronic radiation injuries, although uncommon, are associated with poor quality of life in oncology patients. The present study assesses the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of chronic radiation-induced tissue injuries. A...

Does preoperative gabapentin affects the characteristics of post-dural puncture headache in parturients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia?
Abstract: Gabapentin is effective for treating different types of headache including post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), also used for prophylaxis against migraine. We studied the effect of pre-operative administration of gabapentin on the characteristics of PDPH in...
Different effect of l-NAME treatment on susceptibility to decompression sickness in male and female rats.
Abstract: Vascular bubble formation results from supersaturation during inadequate decompression contributes to endothelial injuries, which form the basis for the development of decompression sickness (DCS). Risk factors for DCS include increased age, weight-fat mass,...
Angiogenesis contributes to the neuroprotection induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning against focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) can induce neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia. However, the underlying mechanisms...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on irradiated oral mucosa: microvessel density.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on microvascular tissue and cell proliferation in the oral mucosa. Twenty patients, aged 51-78 years, were allocated randomly to a treatment or a control group. All had a...
Combination of HBO and Memantine in Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Is There a Synergistic Effect?
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and memantine, a non-competitive NMDA antagonist, are both promising treatment strategies for improving stroke prognosis. However, HBO's narrow therapeutic time window (
