Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Preconditioning provides neuroprotection in models of CNS disease: paradigms and clinical significance.
Abstract: Preconditioning is a phenomenon in which brief episodes of a sublethal insult induce robust protection against subsequent lethal injuries. Preconditioning has been observed in multiple organisms and can occur in the brain as well as other...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning attenuates hyperglycemia-enhanced hemorrhagic transformation by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases in focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Hyperglycemia dramatically aggravates brain infarct and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after ischemic stroke. Oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of HT. Hyperbaric oxygen...
IGF-1 Increases with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Promotes Wound Healing in Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
Abstract: Objectives. To investigate insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) levels in response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for diabetic foot ulcers and to determine whether IGF-1 is a predictive indicator of wound healing in patients with...
Complementary and alternative medicine for autism spectrum disorders: rationale, safety and efficacy.
Abstract: Complementary and alternative medicine is widely used for children with autism spectrum disorder, despite uncertainty regarding efficacy. This review describes complementary and alternative practices commonly used among this population,...

Stress-induced cardiomyopathy complicating a stroke caused by an air embolism.
Abstract: Systemic air embolism is a very rare (
Treatment of diabetic foot complications with hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a retrospective experience.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. We performed a retrospective observational study of all patients with diabetic foot ulcers treated at the Institution's...
Topical ozone and chronic wounds: improper use of therapeutic tools may delay wound healing.
Abstract: Mutluoglu, Karabacak, Karagöz, Uzun, Ay, , , , (2012). Topical ozone and chronic wounds: improper use of therapeutic tools may delay wound healing. North American journal of medical sciences, 2012...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in rats attenuates ischemia-reperfusion testicular injury through blockade of oxidative stress, suppression of inflammation, and reduction of nitric oxide formation.
Abstract: To evaluate the therapeutic utility of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on testicular ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism, we tested whether HBO therapy provided rescue of the testes after...
