Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy induces cell proliferation through stabilization of cAMP responsive element binding protein in the rat model of MCAo-induced ischemic brain injury.
Abstract: Treatments that could extend the therapeutic window of opportunity for stroke patients are urgently needed. Early administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proven neuroprotective in the middle cerebral artery occlusion...
Functional recovery in rat spinal cord injury induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning.
Abstract: It is a common belief that neurosurgical interventions can cause inevitable damage resulting from the procedure itself in surgery especially for intramedullary spinal cord tumors. The present study was designed to examine if hyperbaric...
Performance of the probe-to-bone test in a population suspected of having osteomyelitis of the foot in diabetes.
Abstract: We investigated the validity of probe-to-bone testing in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in a selected subgroup of patients clinically suspected of having diabetic foot osteomyelitis. Between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008,...
Clinical effectiveness of early treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for severe late-onset hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients.
Abstract: HC is a possible cause of morbidity and extended hospitalization after HSCT. Recent studies have reported the efficiency of HOT in adult patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT, but data in children are scarce. We report our single center...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment reduces neutrophil-endothelial adhesion in chronic wound conditions through S-nitrosation.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is an effective treatment for diabetic chronic wounds. HBO reduces inflammation and accelerates wound healing, by mechanisms that remain unclear. Here we examined a mechanism by which HBO may reduce...
Control groups in hyperbaric trials.
Abstract: Sherlock, , , , , , , , (2012). Control groups in hyperbaric trials. Diving and hyperbaric medicine, 2012 Sep;42(3):183. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22987465
[Adjuvant treatment of diabetic foot].
Abstract: A diabetic infected foot with erythema and fluctuation can suspect that the infection has passed the fascial compartmental, a condition that requires surgical drainage. Elective amputation may be considered for patients who have recurrent...
Local treatment of chronic wounds: in patients with peripheral vascular disease, chronic venous insufficiency, and diabetes.
Abstract: A chronic wound is defined as an area where the skin is not intact that fails to heal within eight weeks. Such wounds usually develop on the lower limbs as a complication of diabetes, venous insufficiency, or inadequate arterial...
Response to the letter to the editor by Armistead-jehle and Lee on Harch et Al., "A phase I study of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy for blast-induced post-concussion syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder".
Abstract: Harch, Andrews, Pezzullo (2012). Response to the letter to the editor by Armistead-jehle and Lee on Harch et Al., "A phase I study of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy for blast-induced post-concussion syndrome and post-traumatic...
