Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on macrophage polarization after rat spinal cord injury.
Abstract: The immunoreactive responses are a two-edged sword after spinal cord injury (SCI). Macrophages are the predominant inflammatory cells responsible for this response. However, the mechanism underlying the effects of HBOT on the...
Hyperbaric oxygen intervention reduces secondary spinal cord injury in rats via regulation of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
Abstract: To investigate whether hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) intervention affects the expressions of inflammatory cytokines, HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB, and arrests secondary spinal cord injury (SCI). One hundred and twenty healthy adult SD rats were randomly...
Management of complications and compromised free flaps following major head and neck surgery.
Abstract: Microvascular free flaps are preferred for most major head and neck reconstruction surgeries because of better functional outcomes, improved esthetics, and generally higher success rates. Numerous studies have investigated measures to...
Imaging Changes in Pediatric Intracranial Ependymoma Patients Treated With Proton Beam Radiation Therapy Compared to Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy.
Abstract: The clinical significance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes after radiation therapy (RT) in children with ependymoma is not well defined. We compared imaging changes following proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) to those after...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves local microenvironment after spinal cord injury.
Abstract: Clinical studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves motor function in patients with spinal cord injury. In the present study, we explored the mechanisms associated with the recovery of neurological function after...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on symptoms and quality of life among service members with persistent postconcussion symptoms: a randomized clinical trial.
Abstract: Improvement has been anecdotally observed in patients with persistent postconcussion symptoms (PCS) after mild traumatic brain injury following treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The effectiveness of HBO as an adjunctive treatment...
The ritual of hyperbaric oxygen and lessons for the treatment of persistent postconcussion symptoms in military personnel.
Abstract: Hoge, Jonas, , , , , , , (2015). The ritual of hyperbaric oxygen and lessons for the treatment of persistent postconcussion symptoms in military personnel. JAMA internal medicine, 2015...
Effects of magnesium depletion on inflammation in chronic disease
Abstract Purpose of review: To update findings supporting the opinion that commonly occurring subclinical magnesium deficiency induced by a low dietary intake is a predisposing factor for chronic inflammatory stress that contributes to the...
Use of EEG to diagnose ADHD
Electroencephalography (EEG) has, historically, played a focal role in the assessment of neural function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We review here the most recent developments in the utility of EEG in the diagnosis of ADHD, with emphasis on the most commonly used and emerging EEG metrics and their reliability in diagnostic classification. Considering the clinical heterogeneity of ADHD and the complexity of information available from the EEG signals, we suggest that considerab
