Improving neuropsychological function after chronic brain injury with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: One suggested treatment for chronic brain injury (CBI) is the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The present study was an evaluation of neuropsychological improvement after HBOT in CBI patients. Study 1 compared test - retest results of 21 CBI children...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on survival of composite grafts in rats.
Abstract: Most treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in plastic surgery is for wounds, burns, crush injuries, and infections. We aimed to find out if HBO increases the survival of composite grafts in rats. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to two...
Necrotizing fasciitis in the head and neck region: an analysis of standard treatment effectiveness.
Abstract: A standard treatment procedure for necrotizing fasciitis in the head and neck region was introduced in 1999 at Rigshospitalet (National Hospital of Denmark) Copenhagen. The new procedure introduced more drastic surgical debridement than before, combined with...
Hyperbaric oxygen: a novel technology for modulating myocardial schemia-reperfusion via a single drug.
Abstract: Over the years, the anecdotal medical use of oxygen has demonstrated, in a non-evidence-based manner, that it may have wide-ranging clinical consequences. Although oxygen is a critical substrate in the alleviation of hypoxia, anoxia, and ischemia,...
Inflammatory arthritis associated with thromboangiitis obliterans.
Abstract: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is an uncommon to rare vasculitis of small and medium arteries and veins typically affecting young male smokers. Inflammatory arthritis has only been rarely reported in association with TAO. We describe the case of a young...

Side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in children with cerebral palsy.
Abstract: This article reports the side effects observed in a double-blind placebo-controlled multi-center randomized clinical trial carried out to assess the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in children with cerebral palsy. Intention-to-treat...
Indication for hyperbaric oxygen treatment as a predictor of tympanostomy tube placement.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has been utilized for many years for a multitude of disease entities. One commonly encountered side-effect is otic barotrauma. To determine if patients with specific disease processes are at increased risk of requiring...
