Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Comments on Margolis et al. Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation.
Abstract: Löndahl, Katzman, , , , , , , (2015). Comments on Margolis et al. Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation. International wound journal, 2015...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides neuroprotection following spinal cord injury in a rat model.
Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the iNOS mRNA-iNOS-NO signaling pathway and neurofunction protected in a rat spinal cord injury model. A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:...
Combined treatment of methylprednisolone pulse and memantine hydrochloride prompts recovery from neurological dysfunction and cerebral hypoperfusion in carbon monoxide poisoning: a case report.
Abstract: A 49-year-old healthy man developed sudden unconsciousness under inadequate ventilation. Blood gas analysis showed carboxyhemoglobin of 7.3%. After normobaric oxygen therapy, he recovered completely 7 days later. At 3 weeks after carbon...
[Pre-hospital management of adults with life-threatening emergencies].
Abstract: In France, acute life-threatening situations are handled by the French Secours a Personne (assistance to persons) and emergency medical facilities. An unequivocal success, this early management of life-threatening emergency situations...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.
Abstract: Hemorrhagic radiation cystitis (HRC) is a significant clinical problem that occurs after pelvic radiation therapy and is often refractory. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for HRC. Daily 90 minute...
The effects of pressure on arthritic knees in a rat model of CFA-induced arthritis.
Abstract: Pain is influenced by weather changes under certain circumstances, and inflammatory pain in animal models is ameliorated by pressure, but the underlying mechanism of atmospheric pressure has not been clearly elucidated. To examine the...
A prospective, randomized Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the effect of combined hyperbaric and normobaric hyperoxia on cerebral metabolism, intracranial pressure, oxygen toxicity, and clinical outcome in severe traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Preclinical and clinical investigations indicate that the positive effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs after rather than during treatment. The brain appears better able to use baseline O2...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on antimicrobial function and apoptosis of differentiated HL-60 (neutrophil-like) cells.
Abstract: Neutrophil apoptosis is important in the resolution of inflammation in chronic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, an intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure, appears to be an effective treatment...
Nonendoscopic therapies for the management of radiation-induced rectal bleeding.
Abstract: Rectal bleeding is one of several gastrointestinal side effects that occur after radiotherapy for pelvic malignancy. It can develop during treatment as a result of inflammation, or may be delayed for up to several years, where it is...
