Serum leptin levels decrease after permanent MCAo in the rat and remain unaffected by delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), referring to the medical use of oxygen at a level higher than atmospheric pressure, exerts neuroprotective effects after ischemic stroke via various mechanisms. It has been demonstrated that HBOT modulates the synthesis and...
Subarachnoid block with low dose of bupivacaine and sufentanil in patients with coronary artery disease.
Abstract: Subarachnoid block with local anesthetics and opioids enable efficacious spinal anesthesia because of their synergistic effect and permit the use of low-dose local anesthetics, which results in a stable hemodynamic state. The purpose of this study was to...
SirT1 mediates hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning-induced ischemic tolerance in rat brain.
Abstract: Our previous studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) induces tolerance to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). This study aimed to investigate whether SirT1, a class III histone deacetylase, is involved in neuroprotection elicited...
The possible role of antioxidant vitamin C in Alzheimer’s disease treatment and prevention
Abstract Oxidative stress is suggested to play a major role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among the antioxidants, vitamin C has been regarded as the most important one in neural tissue. It also decreases β-amyloid generation and acetylcholinesterase...
The influence of radiation therapy on dental implantology.
Abstract: Patients with a history of head and neck cancer resection require extensive prosthodontic rehabilitation following cancer treatment. The oral anatomy drastically changes from ablative therapy, and the oral tissue response becomes altered as a consequence of...
A retrospective study of outcomes in subjects of head and neck cancer treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation induced osteoradionecrosis of mandible at a tertiary care centre: an Indian experience.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a rare complication of radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It manifests as an area of exposed necrotic bone failing to heal for at least 3 months. Our study aims to determine the effectiveness of HBO in...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of perichondritis of the pinna.
Abstract: Perichondritis is a condition characterized by pain, swelling and purulent discharge from the external ear, which may progress to a deformity of the pinna. The presence of co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus may aggravate the situation. The main...
