Non-Toxic Metabolic Management of Metastatic Cancer in VM Mice: Novel Combination of Ketogenic Diet, Ketone Supplementation, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Abstract: The Warburg effect and tumor hypoxia underlie a unique cancer metabolic phenotype characterized by glucose dependency and aerobic fermentation. We previously showed that two non-toxic metabolic therapies - the ketogenic diet with concurrent hyperbaric oxygen...
Brain damage in commercial breath-hold divers.
Abstract: Acute decompression illness (DCI) involving the brain (Cerebral DCI) is one of the most serious forms of diving-related injuries which may leave residual brain damage. Cerebral DCI occurs in compressed air and in breath-hold divers, likewise. We conducted...
Pharmacokinetics of meropenem in critically ill patients receiving continuous venovenous haemofiltration: a randomised controlled trial of continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus administration.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to describe the pharmacokinetics of meropenem, administered by continuous infusion (CI) or intermittent bolus (IB), in critically ill patients receiving continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH) and to evaluate the...
Diving medicine.
Abstract: Exposure to the undersea environment has unique effects on normal physiology and can result in unique disorders that require an understanding of the effects of pressure and inert gas supersaturation on organ function and knowledge of the appropriate...
Cerebral air embolism from angioinvasive cavitary aspergillosis.
Abstract: Background. Nontraumatic cerebral air embolism cases are rare. We report a case of an air embolism resulting in cerebral infarction related to angioinvasive cavitary aspergillosis. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports associating these two...
Persistent cauda equina syndrome after cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia: a case report.
Abstract: A 29-year-old pregnant woman was delivered by cesarean section under a combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Thirty hours after an uneventful surgery, she complained of weakness in her lower extremities and developed fecal and urinary incontinence....
Cerebral air embolism from angioinvasive cavitary aspergillosis.
Abstract: Background. Nontraumatic cerebral air embolism cases are rare. We report a case of an air embolism resulting in cerebral infarction related to angioinvasive cavitary aspergillosis. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports associating these two...
Intensive rehabilitation combined with HBO2 therapy in children with cerebral palsy: a controlled longitudinal study.
Abstract: The present study aimed to assess the effect of intensive rehabilitation combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We carried out an open, observational, platform-independent study in 150...
How and why hyperbaric oxygen therapy can bring new hope for children suffering from cerebral palsy–an editorial perspective.
Abstract: Efrati, Ben-Jacob, , , , , , , (). How and why hyperbaric oxygen therapy can bring new hope for children suffering from cerebral palsy--an editorial perspective. Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc,...
