Mechanisms of action of hyperbaric oxygenation in stroke: a review.
Abstract: This article outlines the therapeutic mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygenation in acute stroke, based on information obtained from peer-reviewed medical literature. Hyperbaric oxygen is an approved treatment modality for ischemia-reperfusion...
The therapeutic role of interleukin-10 after spinal cord injury.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition affecting 270,000 people in the United States. A potential treatment for decreasing the secondary inflammation, excitotoxic damage, and neuronal apoptosis associated with SCI, is the...

Vigabatrin prevents seizure in swine subjected to hyperbaric hyperoxia.
Abstract: Oxygen is the most widely used therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat decompression sickness (DCS). Oxygen prebreathe (OPB) eliminated DCS in 20-kg swine after rapid decompression from saturation at 60 feet of seawater (fsw). However,...
Low doses of hyperbaric oxygenation effectively decrease the size of necrotic zone in rats with experimental myocardial infarction.
Abstract: We studied the effect of a single session of hyperbaric oxygenation on the size of risk, ischemic, and necrotic zones in rat myocardium after irreversible occlusion of the coronary artery and excessive oxygen pressure of 0.02 and 0.1 MPa....
Acute coronary syndrome and decompression illness: a challenge for the diving physician.
Abstract: Decompression illness (DCI) is a syndrome with diverse clinical manifestations but in which cardiac symptoms are rare. In the presence of cardiac symptoms, the necessity to rule out an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) which requires prompt...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus, stroke or traumatic brain injury and healthy volunteers: a prospective, crossover, controlled trial.
Abstract: A decrease in blood glucose levels (BGL) during hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is a well-recognised phenomenon, but studies of this are limited and inconclusive. This study evaluated the effect of HBOT on BGL in patients with diabetes...
