Hemoptysis and pneumomediastinum after breath-hold diving in shallow water: a case report.
Abstract: We report the case of a healthy 21-year-old woman who performed iterative breath-hold dives in relatively cold water, not exceeding depths of 5 meters but with "empty lungs." At the end of a dive, after experiencing an intense involuntary...
Research report: the effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on myocardial biomarkers of cardioprotection in patients having coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Abstract: We have previously conducted and reported on the primary endpoint of a clinical study which demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) preconditioning consisting of two 30-minute intervals of 100% oxygen at 2.4 atmospheres absolute (ATA) prior to coronary...
Beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygenation after neonatal germinal matrix hemorrhage.
Abstract: Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a potentially devastating neurological disease of very low birth weight premature infants. This leads to post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment is a broad...
Hyperbaric oxygen: a new adjunctive therapy for surgical-related complications in irradiated advanced cancer patients.
Abstract: Xiong, , , , , , , , (). Hyperbaric oxygen: a new adjunctive therapy for surgical-related complications in irradiated advanced cancer patients. Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc,...
Operative Nd:YAG laser plus postoperative hyperbaric oxygen reduces surgical morbidity after radical head and neck cancer surgery and complex reconstruction.
Abstract: Complications after radical head and neck cancer surgery in irradiated patients are frequent and life-threatening. Hemorrhage, salivary fistulas, wound infections that expose the carotid sheath, among others, make these patients difficult management...
Research report: the effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on myocardial biomarkers of cardioprotection in patients having coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Combined systemic thrombolysis with alteplase and early hyperbaric oxygen therapy in experimental embolic stroke in rats: relationship to functional outcome and reduction of structural damage.
Abstract: The only causal therapy in ischemic stroke is thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), but it is feasible only for few patients, and new therapies are needed. This study investigates the effects of systemic thrombolysis with rtPA...
Oxygen therapy improves energy metabolism in focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Oxygen therapy (OT) with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) or normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) improves the oxygenation of penumbral tissue in experimental ischemic stroke. However, whether this results in the improvement of energy metabolism is unclear. We investigated the...
