Repetitive hyperbaric oxygen treatment attenuates complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced pain and reduces glia-mediated neuroinflammation in the spinal cord
Abstract Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is reported to attenuate pain in both clinical pain conditions and animal pain models, but the underlying mechanism remains to be investigated. Here, we show that 7 daily 60-minute HBO (100% oxygen, 2...
Outcome of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning at a far-east poison center.
Abstract: Many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in Taiwan are due to burning charcoal. Nevertheless, few reports have analyzed the mortality rate of these patients who survive to reach a hospital and die despite intensive treatment. Therefore,...
‘Potato peel dressing’: a novel adjunctive in the management of necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Management of necrotizing fasciitis, a rare and potentially fatal, polymicrobial disease comprises of aggressive debridement, intravenous antibiotics and application of various adjunctives. So far adjunctives like hyperbaric oxygen...

Medical management of critical limb ischaemia: where do we stand today?
Abstract: Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is a severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). CLI often causes disabling symptoms of pain and can lead to loss of the affected limb. It is also associated with increased risk of myocardial...
Systematic review of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of non-neurological soft tissue radiation-related injuries.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to provide an evidence-based evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for the treatment of non-neurological soft tissue radiation-related injuries (STRI). Systematic...

Hyperbaric oxygen and dental extractions in irradiated patients: short- and long-term outcomes.
Abstract: Mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) can occur in patients post-radiation therapy. This study assessed the incidence of ORN in the setting of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) and sought to identify risk factors that may...
