Transcutaneous oximetry measurements of the leg: comparing different measuring equipment and establishing values in healthy young adults.
Abstract: Transcutaneous oximetry measurement (TCOM) is a non-invasive method of determining oxygen tension at the skin level using heated electrodes. To compare TCOM values generated by different machines and to establish lower limb TCOM values in a cohort of healthy...
Metabolic effects of fasting on human and mouse blood in vivo
Abstract Starvation is a strong physiological stimulus of macroautophagy/autophagy. In this study, we addressed the question as to whether it would be possible to measure autophagy in blood cells after nutrient deprivation. Fasting of mice for 48 h (which causes ∼20%...
Randomized controlled trial of neurofeedback on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy: A pilot study
Abstract Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a significant problem for cancer patients, and there are limited treatment options for this often debilitating condition. Neuromodulatory interventions could be a novel modality for patients...
The Disconnected Brain and Executive Function Decline in Aging
Abstract Higher order speeded cognitive abilities depend on efficient coordination of activity across the brain, rendering them vulnerable to age reductions in structural and functional brain connectivity. The concept of "disconnected aging" has been invoked,...
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR HEAD AND NECK IRRADIATED PATIENTS WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL TREATMENTS.
Abstract: Although radiation therapy is a common treatment for head and neck cancer, osteoradionecrosis (ORN) represents a major complication during or after treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen is often mentioned as a prophylactic and therapeutic treatment for ORN. In this...
Enzymatic debridement with collagenase in wounds and ulcers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract: Enzymatic debridement with collagenase is a technique that is commonly used in clinical practice. This systematic review examines the effect of collagenase on all kinds of wounds, compared to an alternative therapy, on wound healing, wound bed...

Repetitive hyperbaric oxygen treatment increases insulin sensitivity in diabetes patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
Abstract: The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke is controversial. This study aims to investigate whether the peripheral insulin sensitivity of type 2 diabetes patients suffering from intracerebral hemorrhage can be...
Landmarks in the historical development of twenty first century food processing technologies.
Abstract: Over a course of centuries, various food processing technologies have been explored and implemented to provide safe, fresher-tasting and nutritive food products. Among these technologies, application of emerging food processes (e.g., cold plasma, pressurized...
