[Non pharmacological treatment of severe cutaneous infections: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, dressings and local treatments].
Abstract: Beside conventional therapy, the management of necrotizing cellulitis and fasciitis is based on non-pharmacological treatments. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dressings are the most frequently used techniques. The usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is...
Current controversies in the management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of mortality and morbidity, particularly among young men. The efficacy and safety of most of the interventions used in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury remain unproven. Examples include the...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cardiac neural regulation in diabetic individuals with foot complications.
Abstract: There are relatively few effective methods to treat autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may restore cardiac neural regulation dysfunction in diabetic individuals with foot...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic pain management.
Abstract: Chronic pain is one of the frequently encountered clinical problems that is difficult to cure. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been reported in chronic pain syndromes with promising results. In this review, we focus on the effectiveness of HBO in...
Oxygen therapy in permanent brain ischemia: potential and limitations.
Abstract: Both normobaric (NBO) and hyperbaric (HBO) oxygen therapy are protective in transient cerebral ischemia. In contrast, in permanent ischemia models, which reflect the majority of clinical strokes, the effectiveness of NBO is unknown, and the effectiveness of...
The effect of acute psychologic stress on systemic and rectal mucosal measures of inflammation in ulcerative colitis
Abstract Background & aims: Recent studies suggest that life events and chronic stress increase the risk of relapse in inflammatory bowel disease. Our aim was to study the effects of acute psychologic stress on systemic and rectal mucosal inflammatory responses in...
