Fasting induces preproghrelin mRNA expression in the brain and gut of zebrafish, Danio rerio
Abstract Ghrelin is a gut/brain hormone with a unique acyl modification and various biological functions in fish and mammals. In addition to its possible role as a circulating orexigenic factor, ghrelin has been shown to regulate several other physiological processes...
Low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy and SPECT brain imaging in the treatment of blast-induced chronic traumatic brain injury (post-concussion syndrome) and post traumatic stress disorder: a case report.
Abstract: A 25-year-old male military veteran presented with diagnoses of post concussion syndrome and post traumatic stress disorder three years after loss of consciousness from an explosion in combat. The patient underwent single photon emission computed tomography...

Abstract: A 25-year-old male military veteran presented with diagnoses of post concussion syndrome and post traumatic stress disorder three years after loss of consciousness from an explosion in combat. The patient underwent single photon emission computed tomography...
Oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke – experimental efficacy and molecular mechanisms.
Abstract: Hyperbaric (HBO) or normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy applied in acute ischemic stroke aims to increase oxygen supply to the ischemic tissue and to reduce the extent of irreversible tissue damage. Over the past decade, multiple studies have clarified the...
Intra-arterial air thrombogenesis after cerebral air embolism complicating lower extremity sclerotherapy.
Abstract: Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a potentially life-threatening event. Intraarterial air can occlude blood flow directly or cause thrombosis. Sclerotherapy is an extremely rare cause of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Case-report A 38-year-old female...
Guiding principles in choosing a therapeutic table for DCI hyperbaric therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric therapy is the basis of treatment for pervasive development disorders. For this reason, the choice of the right therapeutic table for each case is critical. Above all, the delay in recompression time with respect to the first symptoms and to the...
Mathematical model of hyperbaric oxygen therapy applied to chronic diabetic wounds.
Abstract: The failure of certain wounds to heal (including diabetic foot ulcers) is a significant socioeconomic issue for countries worldwide. There is much debate about the best way to treat these wounds and one approach that is shrouded with controversy is...
An unusual "winter case" of myocarditis.
Abstract: Myocardial injury from moderate to severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common. We reported a case of acute myocarditis related to CO poisoning in a 34 year-old man confirmed by normal coronary angiography, diffuse sub-epicardial late enhancement at MRI...
Hyperbaric oxygenation enhances transplanted cell graft and functional recovery in the infarct heart.
Abstract: A major limitation to the application of stem-cell therapy to repair ischemic heart damage is the low survival of transplanted cells in the heart, possibly due to poor oxygenation. We hypothesized that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) can be used as an adjuvant...
