Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cytochrome C, Bcl-2 and Bax expression after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats.
Abstract: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the neuronal apoptosis at an earlier stage and the expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2 family) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) in rat brain tissues after traumatic...
Hyperbaric oxygen as a treatment for malabsorption in a radiation-damaged short bowel.
Abstract: Radiation enteritis can be challenging to diagnose and treat. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in 1978 and treated with hysterectomy and post-operative radiotherapy. Over the next 20...
A unique waterskiing injury leading to a necrotizing foot infection in an insulin-dependent diabetic.
Abstract: Reports of waterskiing-related injuries are limited in the medical literature. The authors report a case of a unique waterskiing injury that progressed into a necrotizing foot infection in a well-controlled insulin-dependent diabetic. This case shows that...
[Recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of the injury to the peripheral nerve].
Abstract: To investigate the latest development in diagnosis and treatment of the injury to the peripheral nerve. The literature at home and abroad was reviewed, and the research findings with clinical experience in diagnosis and treatment for the injury to the...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for delayed radiation injuries in gynecological cancers.
Abstract: Delayed radiation-induced injuries are difficult to treat. The treatment of delayed radiation injuries with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is reported in small case series and case reports. This study reports the experience of a single institution with...
[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...
