Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Understanding the pathology and treatment of traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder: a therapeutic role for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an intracranial injury caused by external trauma leading to different degrees of brain damage. TBI can cause a wide array of symptoms and range in severity from concussion to coma and death. The link...
Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen on the Growth of Intracranial Glioma in Rats.
Abstract: Numerous studies have confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy may increase the efficacy of radiotherapy or chemotherapy in patients with glioma. However, whether HBO therapy alone may...
Old Things New View: Ascorbic Acid Protects the Brain in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Abstract Ascorbic acid is a key antioxidant of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Under brain activity, ascorbic acid is released from glial reservoirs to the synaptic cleft, where it is taken up by neurons. In neurons, ascorbic acid scavenges...
Genetic and molecular basis of diabetic foot ulcers: Clinical review.
Abstract: Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are major complications associated with diabetes and often correlate with peripheral neuropathy, trauma and peripheral vascular disease. It is necessary to understand the molecular and genetic basis of diabetic...
Genetic and molecular basis of diabetic foot ulcers: Clinical review.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with Schwann cell transplantation promotes spinal cord injury recovery.
Abstract: Schwann cell transplantation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy each promote recovery from spinal cord injury, but it remains unclear whether their combination improves therapeutic results more than monotherapy. To investigate this, we used...
Necrotising soft tissue infections: the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on mortality.
Abstract: In a single-centre, retrospective, case-controlled study of patients attending the Alfred Hospital in Prahran, Victoria, we assessed the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in reducing mortality or morbidity in patients with...
Does hyperbaric oxygen improve survival in necrotising soft tissue infections?
Abstract: Gorman, , , , , , , , (2015). Does hyperbaric oxygen improve survival in necrotising soft tissue infections? Anaesthesia and intensive care, 2015 Nov;43(6):683-4. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26603790
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on lipoprotein subfractions in diabetic patients.
Abstract: Favorable metabolic changes have been observed in many in vitro and animal studies after application of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2). Metabolic changes after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, especially focused on lipoprotein subfractions, have not...
