Systematic review of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cerebral palsy: the state of the evidence.
Abstract: A systematic review of the evidence was conducted on the benefits and adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for cerebral palsy (CP). Studies of any HBOT regimen in patients with CP were included except for case reports and case series....
Neurological manifestations of decompression illness in recreational divers – the Cozumel experience.
Abstract: Neurological signs and symptoms are common in recreational divers with decompression illness (DCI). The spectrum of neurological manifestations, temporal profile, and laboratory findings are described in a large series of 200 consecutive recreational divers...
Early changes in physiological variables after stroke.
Abstract: Several aspects of physiology, notably blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose, and blood oxygen saturation, may be altered after an ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. Generally, blood pressure and temperature rise acutely after a stroke,...
Mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia rat model.
Abstract: Hypoxic ischemic (HI) injury in neonates damages brain tissues. We examined the mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) in neonatal HI rat model. Seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation and hypoxia (8%...
[The use of oxygen as drug and its relevance for wound healing].
Abstract: Plastic surgeons often have to deal with problematic wounds. In reconstructive surgery, as well as in chronic wounds, tissue oxygen supply is often critically low. Similarly in the treatment of severely burned patients, perfusion and oxygen supply to the...

Extracorporeal shockwave treatment for chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: This prospective study compared extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Seventy-two patients with 72 chronic diabetic foot ulcers were randomly divided into two groups of similar...
The effect of oxygenation level on cerebral post-traumatic apoptotsis is modulated by the 18-kDa translocator protein (also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor) in a rat model of cortical contusion.
Abstract: Hyperbaric hyperoxia has been shown to reduce apoptosis in brain injury. As the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor, is closely associated with the mitochondrial transition pore and because of its role in...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tumor growth in murine model of PC-3 prostate cancer cell line.
Abstract: To test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has no effect on tumor growth in a murine model of indolent in vivo prostate cancer. HBO means breathing pure (100%) oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Human prostate PC-3 cells were injected into...
