Treatment of Fournier’s Gangrene with Combination of Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Protective Colostomy.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is a rare process which affects soft tissue in the genital and perirectal area. It can also progress to all different stages of sepsis, and abdominal compartment syndrome can be one of its complications. Two patients in septic shock due...
Age-dependent response of murine female bone marrow cells to hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Consequences of age on the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on bone marrow (BM) derived stem cells and progenitors (SCPs) are largely unknown. We treated 2- and 18-month old C57BL/6 female mice by HBO. Hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors, enumerated...
Neurologic applications of hyperbaric oxygen: a sad, slow story of smoke and fire.

Hyperbaric oxygen for neurologic indications–action plan for multicenter trials in: stroke, traumatic brain injury, radiation encephalopathy & status migrainosus.
Abstract: The 2008 Toronto Hyperbaric Medicine Symposium was convened to discuss research into neurologic indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T). Four topics were particularly addressed: acute ischemic stroke; acute traumatic brain injury; brain radiation...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tense repair of the peripheral nerves.
Abstract: After a peripheral nerve cut, tense repair of a nerve compromises circulation of the nerve at the injury site, making the site hypoxic. Hyperbaric oxygen might increase tissue oxygenation and therefore diminish the effects of injury. We investigated whether...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and promoting neurological recovery following nerve trauma.
Abstract: There is a constant search for new techniques that induce more extensive and rapid wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) involves placing a patient in a sealed chamber and elevating its pressure several-fold above ambient air pressure while the...
Combined effects of intravenous perfluorocarbon emulsion and oxygen breathing on decompression-induced spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: The spinal cord is one of the most commonly affected sites in decompression sickness (DCS). Alternative methods have long been sought to protect against DCS spinal cord dysfunction, especially when hyperbaric treatment is unavailable. Use of perfluorocarbon...
Treatment of acute stroke with hyperbaric oxygen: time window for efficacy.
Abstract: We conducted a retrospective statistical analysis of the Heyman, Saltzman, Whalen 1966 study of 22 stroke patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2)--13 of them one to five hours post-stroke. We examined patients who received HBO2 treatment within seven...
