Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Neurofeedback training induces changes in white and gray matter
Abstract The main objective of this structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was to investigate, using diffusion tensor imaging, whether a neurofeedback training (NFT) protocol designed to improve sustained attention might induce...
Argon gas: a potential neuroprotectant and promising medical therapy.
Abstract: Argon is a noble gas element that has demonstrated narcotic and protective abilities that may prove useful in the medical field. The earliest records of argon gas have exposed its ability to exhibit narcotic symptoms at hyperbaric...
Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants.
Abstract: Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those who have also undergone surgery for cancer in the head and neck region may particularly benefit from reconstruction with implants....
Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy prevent airway anastomosis from breakdown?
Abstract: Ischemia with subsequent necrosis of anastomoses, after central airway resection and reconstruction, remains a feared complication for thoracic surgeons and their patients. To date, there is no evidence to support the use of hyperbaric...
Management of radiotherapy-induced salivary hypofunction and consequent xerostomia in patients with oral or head and neck cancer: meta-analysis and literature review.
Abstract: To analyze the efficacy of various treatment options for radiation-induced hyposalivation in patients with head and neck cancer. A literature review and meta-analysis was performed on all appropriate literature identified via...
Comparison of complications in free flap reconstruction for osteoradionecrosis in patients with or without hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy induces native tissue oxygenation. The hypothesis was patients with mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and a history of HBO therapy would have less free flap reconstruction complications than patients...
Dental implant survival in irradiated oral cancer patients: a systematic review of the literature.
Abstract: Oral cancer therapy with surgery and radiation is associated with comorbidities; this affects rehabilitation with osseointegrated dental implants. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of radiation therapy on...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on persistent postconcussion symptoms.
Abstract: The high incidence of persistent postconcussion symptoms in service members with combat-related mild traumatic brain injury has prompted research in the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for management. The effects of HBO2 on persistent...
Cortical spreading depression and migraine
Abstract Cortical spreading depression (CSD), a slowly propagated wave of depolarization followed by suppression of brain activity, is a remarkably complex event that involves dramatic changes in neural and vascular function. Since its original...
