Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on RAGE and MCP-1 expression in rats with spinal cord injury.
Abstract: The inflammatory response is an important source of secondary damage to neuronal tissue in the spinal cord following spinal cord injury (SCI). Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy reduces inflammation and promotes the restoration of locomotor...
Can we use an ex vivo continuous hemofiltration model to describe the adsorption and elimination of meropenem and piperacillin?
Abstract: To determine the adsorption and elimination characteristics of meropenem and piperacillin during simulated continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and to compare the observed data from this ex vivo study with previous data from...
Pelvic radiation disease: Updates on treatment options.
Abstract: Pelvic cancers are among the most frequently diagnosed neoplasms and radiotherapy represents one of the main treatment options. The irradiation field usually encompasses healthy intestinal tissue, especially of distal large bowel, thus...
Effect of vitamin C on inflammation and metabolic markers in hypertensive and/or diabetic obese adults: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background: Obesity is well associated as being an interfering factor in metabolic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes by increasing the secretion of proinflammatory markers from adipose tissue. Having healthy effects, vitamin C...
[Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries for Cesarean Section].
Abstract: A 30-year-old woman with corrected transposition of great arteries (c-TGA) was scheduled for elective cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. At previous cesarean section, she received general anesthesia for dyspnea and lower cardiac...
[Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries for Cesarean Section].
Abstract: A 30-year-old woman with corrected transposition of great arteries (c-TGA) was scheduled for elective cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. At previous cesarean section, she received general anesthesia for dyspnea and lower cardiac...
Application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Reduce Oxidative Damage of Plasmatic Carbonyl Proteins and 8-OHdG by Activating Glutathion Peroxidase.
Abstract: It is postulated that application of hyperbaric oxygenation may induce the production of radicals after HBO. Higher oxygenation and transport of oxygen increase the mitochondrial energy turnover, whereas inner mitochondrial radical...
Oxygen Chamber Therapy May Ease Fibromyalgia
The majority of women with fibromyalgia who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy -- best known for treating "the bends" in scuba divers -- experienced relief from pain and other symptoms, a small study found. Brain scans of the patients showed that...
[Skin-sparing surgical revision in a woman with necrotizing fasciitis in her face].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a life-threatening infection which is treated with aggressive debridement, antibiotics, intensive care and hyperbaric oxygen. We present a case where a 66-year-old woman with NF of the face and neck following...
