The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on clinical outcome of patients after resection of meningiomas with conspicuous peritumoral brain edema.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the clinical outcome of patients after resection of meningiomas with conspicuous peritumoral brain edema (PTBE). 232 patients with intracranial meningiomas and conspicuous...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on energy metabolism and glutamate level in the peri-infarct area following permanent MCAO.
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO2P) on ischemic metabolites and the glutamate level after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). HBO2P was administered: five treatments, one treatment per day. The...
Hyperbaric oxygen improves ultraviolet B irradiation-induced melanin pigmentation and diminishes senile spot size.
Abstract: The effects of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen on ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced melanin pigmentations of skins and on senile spot sizes of faces were investigated. In the first experiment, male subjects were irradiated with UVB on their upper arms...
Myocardial and lung injuries induced by hydrogen sulfide and the effectiveness of oxygen therapy in rats.
Abstract: To study myocardial and lung injuries initiated by hydrogen sulfide, and evaluate the role and effectiveness of normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment in rats. One hundred healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: A: Normal...
Early outcome and blood-brain barrier integrity after co-administered thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygenation in experimental stroke.
Abstract: After promising results in experimental stroke, normobaric (NBO) or hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) have recently been discussed as co-medication with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for improving outcome. This study assessed the interactions of hyperoxia...
How reliable are cultures of specimens from superficial swabs compared with those of deep tissue in patients with diabetic foot ulcers?
Abstract: To assess the reliability of cultures of superficial swabs (SS) by comparing them with cultures of concomitantly obtained deep tissue (DT) specimens in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. We reviewed clinical and microbiological data from patients with...
[Calciphylaxis. A call for interdisciplinary cooperation].
Abstract: Calciphylaxis is a rare, often very painful and potentially life-threatening disorder at the interface between nephrology and dermatology. It is characterized by skin lesions and ulcerations following calcification and occlusion of cutaneous arterioles. Most...
Honey for wound healing, ulcers, and burns; data supporting its use in clinical practice.
Abstract: The widespread existence of unhealed wounds, ulcers, and burns has a great impact on public health and economy. Many interventions, including new medications and technologies, are being used to help achieve significant wound healing and to eliminate...
