Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
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...
Pharmacological Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Adults: An Update.
Abstract Introduction: Modest response and remission rates for the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, coupled with mounting evidence that the tolerability of the antidepressants (ADs) may...
Repetitive hyperbaric oxygenation attenuates reactive astrogliosis and suppresses expression of inflammatory mediators in the rat model of brain injury
Abstract The exact mechanisms by which treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) exerts its beneficial effects on recovery after brain injury are still unrevealed. Therefore, in this study we investigated the influence of repetitive HBOT on the...
Thoracic spinal anesthesia is safe for patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery.
Abstract: A double-blinded randomized controlled study to compare discharge time and patient satisfaction between two groups of patients submitted to open surgeries for abdominal malignancies using segmental thoracic spinal or general anesthesia....
A terrorist bomb blast, a real challenge for any tertiary care health provider.
Abstract: Multiple casualties and the complex set of injuries in survivors of a terrorist bomb blast poses a real challenge to health care providers. We are presenting three such cases, first case suffered a fracture of both bone lower limb...
Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen for necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves the therapeutic administration of 100% oxygen in a pressure chamber at pressures above one atmosphere absolute. This therapy has been used as an adjunct to surgery and antibiotics in the treatment...
Demonstration of the rat ischemic skin wound model.
Abstract: The propensity for chronic wounds in humans increases with ageing, disease conditions such as diabetes and impaired cardiovascular function, and unrelieved pressure due to immobility. Animal models have been developed that attempt to...
The therapeutic effect of photon irradiation on viable glioblastoma cells is reinforced by hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) seems to intensify the effect of ionising radiation. We investigated whether HBO combined with irradiation decreases the capability of U251 glioblastoma cells for relapse and metastasis. Cells were treated with O2...
