The therapeutic role of interleukin-10 after spinal cord injury.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition affecting 270,000 people in the United States. A potential treatment for decreasing the secondary inflammation, excitotoxic damage, and neuronal apoptosis associated with SCI, is the anti-inflammatory...

Vigabatrin prevents seizure in swine subjected to hyperbaric hyperoxia.
Abstract: Oxygen is the most widely used therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat decompression sickness (DCS). Oxygen prebreathe (OPB) eliminated DCS in 20-kg swine after rapid decompression from saturation at 60 feet of seawater (fsw). However, hyperbaric oxygen...
Low doses of hyperbaric oxygenation effectively decrease the size of necrotic zone in rats with experimental myocardial infarction.
Abstract: We studied the effect of a single session of hyperbaric oxygenation on the size of risk, ischemic, and necrotic zones in rat myocardium after irreversible occlusion of the coronary artery and excessive oxygen pressure of 0.02 and 0.1 MPa. Myocardium...
Acute coronary syndrome and decompression illness: a challenge for the diving physician.
Abstract: Decompression illness (DCI) is a syndrome with diverse clinical manifestations but in which cardiac symptoms are rare. In the presence of cardiac symptoms, the necessity to rule out an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which requires prompt treatment may result...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus, stroke or traumatic brain injury and healthy volunteers: a prospective, crossover, controlled trial.
Abstract: A decrease in blood glucose levels (BGL) during hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is a well-recognised phenomenon, but studies of this are limited and inconclusive. This study evaluated the effect of HBOT on BGL in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM),...

Elevated serum ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 levels in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) has been established as a reliable and potential biomarker of neuronal damage after acute neurologic insults, such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. However, the effect of...
