[Pre-hospital management of adults with life-threatening emergencies].
Abstract: In France, acute life-threatening situations are handled by the French Secours a Personne (assistance to persons) and emergency medical facilities. An unequivocal success, this early management of life-threatening emergency situations relies upon centralized...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.
Abstract: Hemorrhagic radiation cystitis (HRC) is a significant clinical problem that occurs after pelvic radiation therapy and is often refractory. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for HRC. Daily 90 minute sessions of HBO at 2...
The effects of pressure on arthritic knees in a rat model of CFA-induced arthritis.
Abstract: Pain is influenced by weather changes under certain circumstances, and inflammatory pain in animal models is ameliorated by pressure, but the underlying mechanism of atmospheric pressure has not been clearly elucidated. To examine the effect of pressure on...
A prospective, randomized Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the effect of combined hyperbaric and normobaric hyperoxia on cerebral metabolism, intracranial pressure, oxygen toxicity, and clinical outcome in severe traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Preclinical and clinical investigations indicate that the positive effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs after rather than during treatment. The brain appears better able to use baseline O2 levels following HBO2...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on antimicrobial function and apoptosis of differentiated HL-60 (neutrophil-like) cells.
Abstract: Neutrophil apoptosis is important in the resolution of inflammation in chronic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, an intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure, appears to be an effective treatment for chronic wounds....
Nonendoscopic therapies for the management of radiation-induced rectal bleeding.
Abstract: Rectal bleeding is one of several gastrointestinal side effects that occur after radiotherapy for pelvic malignancy. It can develop during treatment as a result of inflammation, or may be delayed for up to several years, where it is characteristically due to...
Neurobiological insight into hyperbaric hyperoxia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric hyperoxia (HBO) is known to modulate aerobic metabolism, vasoreactivity and blood flow in the brain. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects, especially in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke patients, are debated. The...

A prospective, randomized, controlled study of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: effects on healing and oxidative stress of ulcer tissue in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer.
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been reported to help heal chronic foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), production of HBO-related oxidative stress is a concern. To assess the therapeutic effect and oxidative stress of HBO, a...
