Differences in Cognitive Function of Rats with Traumatic Brain Injuries Following Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is a historical therapeutic option in the treatment of various types of brain damage. At present, clinical treatment of hypoxic-ischemic injury is giving priority to cognitive training. The effects of HBO on cognitive...

The Successful Treatment of Calciphylaxis with Sodium Thiosulfate and Hyperbaric Oxygen in a Non-dialyzed Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease.
Abstract: We present the case of a non-dialyzed patient with chronic kidney disease and biopsy-proven calciphylaxis who presented with painful cutaneous ulcers on both legs. The skin ulcers drastically improved within 6 months after the initiation of hemodialysis,...
Efficacy of Epidermal Skin Grafts Over Complex, Chronic Wounds in Patients With Multiple Comorbidities.
Abstract: Epidermal skin grafting presents an alternative to traditional autografts since only epidermal skin is harvested from the donor site. Split-thickness skin grafts are associated with difficulties at the donor site, including excessive pain, delayed healing,...
Fibromyalgia and myalgic encephalomyelitis: The oxygen clue
Abstract: In recent years, different authors have described various musculoskeletal oxygenation alterations in patients with fibromyalgia with or without myalgic encephalomyelitis. These patients suffer from meteor-sensitivity worsening their symptoms in lower...
Delayed tongue necrosis simultaneous with bilateral osteoradionecrosis of the jaw secondary to head and neck irradiation.
Abstract: We present a rare case of massive tongue necrosis occurring simultaneously with bilateral osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw in a patient with a history of treatment, including surgery and postoperative radiotherapy, for a retromolar trigone carcinoma 8...
Pre-emptive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer may prevent the onset of late radiation tissue injury.
Abstract: Wood, Bennett (2016). Pre-emptive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen following radiation therapy for head and neck cancer may prevent the onset of late radiation tissue injury. Diving and hyperbaric medicine, 2016...
Femoral Vein Cannulation in the Treatment of Osteomyelitis.
Abstract: The main objective was to investigate the feasibil- ity of using the femoral vein for long-term venous access. This was accomplished in the course of treating osteomyelitis patients, using a combination of long-term (6 weeks), outpatient, intravenous (IV)...
Improved detection of clinically relevant wound bacteria using autofluorescence image-guided sampling in diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Clinical wound assessment involves microbiological swabbing of wounds to identify and quantify bacterial species, and to determine microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. The Levine swabbing technique may be suboptimal because it samples only the wound bed,...
