Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Increases in microvascular perfusion and tissue oxygenation via pulsed electromagnetic fields in the healthy rat brain
Abstract Object:Â High-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation is an emerging noninvasive therapy being used clinically to facilitate bone and cutaneous wound healing. Although the mechanisms of action of pulsed electromagnetic fields...
Effects of Hyperoxia on Oxygen-Related Inflammation with a Focus on Obesity.
Abstract: Several studies have shown a pathological oxygenation (hypoxia/hyperoxia) on the adipose tissue in obese subjects. Additionally, the excess of body weight is often accompanied by a state of chronic low-degree inflammation. The...
Pneumoscrotum: report of two different cases and review of the literature.
Abstract: Pneumoscrotum is the term used to describe the presence of air within the scrotum and includes scrotal emphysema as well as pneumatocele. The etiology varies; in some cases, pneumoscrotum may be due to life-threatening disease like...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the risk of QTc interval prolongation in patients with diabetes and hard-to-heal foot ulcers.
Abstract: Heart rate corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation is a risk factor associated with increased mortality. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has previously been shown to have acute beneficial effects on QTc dispersion. The aim of this study...

Diagnosis and Treatment of Type II Necrotizing Fasciitis in a Child Presenting With a Minor Abrasion, Edema, and Apparent Bruising .
Abstract:  Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is associated with systemic disease, mostly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in many patients (more than 50%). Lesions associated with arthritis are often ulcerative. Although...
Cadexomer iodine: an effective palliative dressing in chronic critical limb ischemia.
Abstract: Cadexomer iodine (CI) was evaluated as a palliative wound care dressing for foot ulcers in chronic critical limb ischemia (CCLI) given its ability to prevent infection and absorb moisture. A retrospective study of 11 patients with CCLI...
 prediction of wound healing outcome using skin perfusion pressure and transcutaneous oximetry: a single-center experience in 100 patients.
Abstract: Chronic lower extremity wounds are challenging and typically occur in patients with complicating conditions such as diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. Noninvasive modalities developed to assess wound healing potential, such as...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunctive treatment for diabetic foot wounds: a comprehensive review with case studies.
Abstract:  Complications associated with diabetes are often expensive to treat, and commonly include foot ulceration. While most diabetic foot ulcers heal with standard treatment, when standard treatment measures fail, adjunctive therapies must...
