Hyperbaric oxygen prevents early death caused by experimental cerebral malaria.

Mar 22, 2007

Abstract: Cerebral malaria (CM) is a syndrome characterized by neurological signs, seizures and coma. Despite the fact that CM presents similarities with cerebral stroke, few studies have focused on new supportive therapies for the disease. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...

[Brain and spinal cord preconditioning for the protection against ischemic injury].

Mar 21, 2007

Abstract: Recent studies have suggested that the brain preconditioning could induce tolerance to ischemia in humans. It has been believed that newly synthesized proteins are required for the acquisition of delayed tolerance in the brain and spinal cord. However, the...

Intrathoracic insertion of the VAC device in a case of pleural empyema 20 years after pneumonectomy.

Mar 16, 2007

Abstract: We report a 72-year-old man suffering from pleural empyema after pneumonectomy due to nonsmall cell lung cancer 20 years previously. Insufficiency of the bronchial stump was ruled out by bronchoscopy and bronchography. Thoracic computed tomographic scan of...

Hyperbaric oxygen stimulates epidermal reconstruction in human skin equivalents.

Mar 14, 2007

Abstract: The crucial role of oxygen during the complex process of wound healing has been extensively described. In chronic or nonhealing wounds, much evidence has been reported indicating that a lack of oxygen is a major contributing factor. Although still...

Slowing the degenerative process, long lasting effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in retinitis pigmentosa.

Mar 12, 2007

Abstract: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) therapy is still an unsolved challenge. Recent reports have underlined that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy could play a role in slowing the retinal degenerative process. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of HBO...

Hyperbaric oxygenation in peripheral nerve repair and regeneration

Mar 2, 2007

Abstract Peripheral nerves are essential connections between the central nervous system and muscles, autonomic structures and sensory organs. Their injury is one of the major causes for severe and longstanding impairment in limb function. Acute peripheral nerve lesion...

The impact of preoperative micronutrient supplementation in lung surgery. A prospective randomized trial of oral supplementation of combined alpha-ketoglutaric acid and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Feb 28, 2007

Abstract: Preoperative micronutrient supplementation in fast-track surgery programs have shown to reduce complications, shorten recovery, and thereby lower costs. In a prospective randomized study, the metabolic effects of a combination of alpha-ketoglutaric acid...
