Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Angiogenesis contributes to the neuroprotection induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning against focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) can induce neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia. However, the...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on irradiated oral mucosa: microvessel density.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on microvascular tissue and cell proliferation in the oral mucosa. Twenty patients, aged 51-78 years, were allocated randomly to a treatment or a control...
Combination of HBO and Memantine in Focal Cerebral Ischemia: Is There a Synergistic Effect?
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and memantine, a non-competitive NMDA antagonist, are both promising treatment strategies for improving stroke prognosis. However, HBO's narrow therapeutic time window (
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for adult cardiovascular failure.
Abstract: To examine the utility and technical challenges of applying veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute cardiovascular failure in adults with acute and chronic causes of heart failure. The role of mechanical circulatory...
Wilderness Medical Society practice guidelines for basic wound management in the austere environment: 2014 update.
Abstract: In an effort to produce best-practice guidelines for wound management in the austere environment, the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel charged with the development of evidence-based guidelines for the management of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces apoptosis after spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) protects brain tissue from inflammatory injury by suppressing mitochondrial apoptotic pathways. However, its neuroprotective mechanism via anti-apoptosis in spinal cord injury (SCI) is still unclear. In...
Osseointegrated implants for auricular defects: operative techniques and complication management.
Abstract: Auricular defects are challenging to reconstruct with native tissue. We describe operative techniques and complication management for patients undergoing osseointegrated implants for auriculectomy defects and microtia. Tertiary referral...
