Oxidative stress is fundamental to hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Abstract The goal of this review is to outline advances addressing the role that reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen play in therapeutic mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen. The review will be organized around major categories of problems or processes where controlled...
Initial experience with bevacizumab treatment for biopsy confirmed cerebral radiation necrosis.
Abstract: Cerebral radiation necrosis is a serious complication of radiation treatment for brain tumors. Therapeutic options include corticosteroids, anticoagulation and hyperbaric oxygen with limited efficacy. Bevacizumab, an antibody against VEGF had been reported...
Hyperoxia and infection.
Abstract: Surgical wound infection remains a common and serious complication of surgery. Patient factors are a major determinant of wound outcome following surgery. Co-morbidities clearly contribute, but environmental stressors as well the individual response to...
Instrumental conditioning of human sensorimotor rhythm (12-15 Hz) and its impact on sleep as well as declarative learning
Abstract Study objectives: To test whether instrumental conditioning of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR; 12-15 Hz) has an impact on sleep parameters as well as declarative memory performance in humans. Design: Randomized, parallel group design Setting: 10 instrumental...
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hot) as an otoprotection agent against cisplatin ototoxicity.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) consists of intermittent inhalations of 100% oxygen at a pressure higher than 1 atm. It is an important adjuvant therapy in pathological processes like soft tissue infections, radiation injury, gas gangrene, osteomyelitis and...

N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels increases after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in diabetic patients.
Abstract: Diabetic patients receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for non-healing lower extremity ulcers. Exposure to hyperbaric hyperoxia during hyperbaric oxygen therapy may affect cardiovascular functions by different mechanisms. Patients may experience serious...
Biological basis of diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: The steps to achieving a healthy healing wound include a correct diagnosis, ensuring a good local blood supply, debriding the wound to reveal a clean base, correcting the biomechanical abnormality, and nurturing the wound until it shows signs of healing....
