Chronic Diseases as Barriers to Oxygen Delivery: A Unifying Hypothesis of Tissue Reoxygenation Therapy.
Abstract: Modern medical practice has resulted in the accumulation of a growing number of incurable chronic diseases, many of which are inflammatory in nature. Inflammation establishes a hypoxic microenvironment within tissues, a condition of inflammatory hypoxia...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as Adjuvant Treatment for Hardware-Related Infections in Neuromodulation.
Abstract: In neuromodulation therapies, hardware-related infections are a major challenge often leading to hardware removal. To investigate the role of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in hardware-related infections. Fourteen hardware-related infection events...
A Systematic Review of the Causes and Management of Ischaemic Stroke Caused by Nontissue Emboli.
Abstract: The inadvertent or purposeful introduction of foreign bodies or substances can lead to cerebral infarction if they embolize to the brain. Individual reports of these events are uncommon but may increase with the increased occurrences of their risk factors,...
Calcitriol promotes proangiogenic molecules in keratinocytes in a diabetic foot ulcer model.
Abstract: Foot ulceration is one of the most common and complex sequelae of diabetes mellitus, generally posing a therapeutic challenge due to poor healing responses and high rates of complications, including peripheral vascular disease, ischemia and infections....
Hyperbaric Oxygen Environment Can Enhance Brain Activity and Multitasking Performance.
Abstract: Background: The Brain uses 20% of the total oxygen supply consumed by the entire body. Even though,
Pulmonary function impairment predicted poor prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy.
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia can influence the progression and metastasis of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Clinical studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen may improve the prognosis and reduce complications in HCC patients; however,...
