Hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing.
Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review literature related to hyperbaric oxygenation and wound healing. The article discusses the role of oxygen in wound healing, as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation to promote wound healing, and focuses on the...
Perspectives in the treatment of vascular dementia.
Abstract: The diagnosis and treatment of vascular dementia (VaD) are particularly challenging because of its multiple causal lesions and the variety of its clinical presentations. Even poststroke dementia cases may be due to preexisting Alzheimer's disease. Diagnostic...
Hyperbaric oxygen: does it promote growth or recurrence of malignancy?
Abstract: It has been a concern that a therapeutic modality recommended as an adjunct to healing and administered to promote proliferation of fibroblasts, epithelial cells and blood vessels in a wound could also lead to proliferation of malignant cells and...
Inhibition of apoptosis by hyperbaric oxygen in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model.
Abstract: The hypothesis was tested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) reduced brain infarction by preventing apoptotic death in ischemic cortex in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: current trends and applications.
Abstract: Hyperbaric medicine is the fascinating use of barometric pressure for delivering increased oxygen dissolved in plasma to body tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) or hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) involves intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen under a pressure...
[Central nervous system involvement in patients with decompression illness].
Abstract: Dysbarism or decompression illness (DCI), a general term applied to all pathological changes secondary to altered environmental pressure, has two forms decompression sickness (DCS) and arterial gas embolism (AGE) after pulmonary barotrauma. Cerebral and...
Patent foramen ovale and paradoxical systemic embolism: a bibliographic review.
Abstract: A patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been reported to be an important risk factor for cardioembolic cerebrovascular accidents through paradoxical systemic embolization, and it provides one potential mechanism for the paradoxical systemic embolization of venous...
Decompression illness in divers: a review of the literature.
Abstract: Neurologists may be consulted to diagnose and treat the severe neurologic injuries that can occur in divers with decompression illness (DCI). Subclinical bubbles form during normal diving activity. DCI, a diffuse and multifocal process, results when bubbles...
