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...
Improvement of clinical outcome and cerebral perfusion in a patient of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction after repetitive hyperbaric oxygen treatment–a case report and literature review.
Abstract: This is a case report of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) for ischemic stroke. HBO2T should be the potential or additional treatment (with thrombolytic therapy) for ischemic stroke according to the preclinical and clinical studies. Hereby, we present a...
Oxygen cycling in conjunction with stem cell transplantation induces NOS3 expression leading to attenuation of fibrosis and improved cardiac function.
Abstract: Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with irreversible loss of viable cardiomyocytes. Cell therapy is a potential option to replace the lost cardiomyocytes and restore cardiac function. However, cell therapy is faced with a number of challenges,...
[Myocardial infarction secondary to carbon monoxide poisoning–a study of two cases].
Abstract: The carbon monoxide poisoning still remains a main cause of fatal poisoning. The carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after inhalation of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide binds strongly to molecules, such as cytochrome oxidase, myoglobin, hemoglobin, causing...
An in vitro hyperbaric oxygen system for evaluation of free radical damage and protection by catechins on hemorheological parameters.
Abstract: Free radicals play a critical role in causing hemorheologic abnormality which is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease and stroke. In this study, we established an in vitro model to evaluate the influence of free radical attacks on hemorheological...
Use of adjunctive treatments in improving patient outcome in Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is a polymicrobial necrotising soft tissue infection (NSTI) affecting the perineum and scrotum. It is rapidly progressive and destructive, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Management protocol includes prompt diagnosis,...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in three cases of necrotizing infection of the neck.
Abstract: Necrotizing infections of the head and neck are rare conditions in our hospital. Clinical and microbiological characteristics of three consecutive cases treated in Haukeland University Hospital in western Norway in the year 2010 are described. Two cases of...
Successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy for laryngeal radionecrosis after chemoradiotherapy for mesopharyngeal cancer: case report and literature review.
Abstract: Laryngeal radionecrosis is one of the most troublesome late complications of radiotherapy, because it is frequently resistant to treatment and laryngectomy is required in the worst case. Here, we report a case of laryngeal radionecrosis, successfully treated...
