The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Radiation cystitis is one of the possible complications from pelvic radiotherapy. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) improves tissue oxygenation and healing of scarred tissue. To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the management of...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Side Effects Defined and Quantified.
Abstract: Significance: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an important advanced therapy in the treatment of problem wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and late effect radiation injury. HBOT remains among the safest therapies used today. Nonetheless, there are...
IL-8 promotes inflammatory mediators and stimulates activation of p38 MAPK/ERK-NF-κB pathway and reduction of JNK in HNSCC.
Abstract: This investigation identifies interleukin 8 (IL-8) as the main inflammatory mediator in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The expressions of chemokines of IL-8, IL-1β and IL-6 and the cytokines of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were higher in...
Case report: intestinal pneumatosis
To present a recent to increase understanding, diagnosis and treatment of intestinal pneumatosis clinical case, considering the distinctive characteristics of the disease and to expand knowledge about the management of this condition. The case of a female patient aged 65, originally from Bolivia, with a history of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, asthma and allergies repetition occurs. The patient was admitted to the Department of Surgery No. 1 HNC in November 2015, with an unclear clinical picture. During admission of air bubbles present in the colonic mucosa and tumor lesion is discovered duodenum. Quickly it begins with treatment and adequate support for stabilization. A literature search and an update of the latest updates regarding this disease arises. medical seekers popularity as PUBMED, UP TO DATE, VBS were used. a series of articles about it were selected.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy indispensable for saving mutilated hand injuries?
Abstract: Mutilated hand injuries are a profound challenge to the plastic surgeon, and such injuries often lead to limb loss and severe functional impairment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) appears to counteract tissue hypoxia and stimulate acute wound healing. This...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury: bench-to-bedside.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem in the United States. Survivors of TBI are often left with significant cognitive, behavioral, and communicative disabilities. So far there is no effective treatment/intervention in the daily clinical practice for TBI patients. The protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) have been proved in stroke; however, its efficiency in TBI remains controversial. In this review, we will summarize the results of HBOT in experimental and clinical TBI, elaborate the mechanisms, and bring out our current understanding and opinions for future studies.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in experimental and clinical stroke.
Abstract: Stroke, which is defined as a neurologic deficit caused by sudden impaired blood supply, has been considered as a common cause of death and disability for decades. The World Health Organization has declared that almost every 5 seconds a new stroke occurs,...
Effects of normobaric versus hyperbaric oxygen on cell injury induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation in acute brain slices.
Abstract: Normobaric oxygen (NBO) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) are emerging as a possible co-treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Both have been shown to reduce infarct volume, to improve neurologic outcome, to promote endogenous tissue plasminogen activator-induced...
Hyperbaric oxygen increases tissue-plasminogen activator-induced thrombolysis in vitro, and reduces ischemic brain damage and edema in rats subjected to thromboembolic brain ischemia.
Abstract: Recent data have shown that normobaric oxygen (NBO) increases the catalytic and thrombolytic efficiency of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) in vitro, and is as efficient as rtPA at restoring cerebral blood flow in rats subjected to...
