Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Complementary and alternative medicine in multiple sclerosis.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is used by one-half to three-fourths of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Despite this widespread use, CAM may not be discussed in the course of a conventional medical visit. When considered in the context of MS, CAM therapies have a wide range of risk-benefit profiles. Some CAM therapies, such as acupuncture, cranberry, vitamin D, tai chi, and yoga, are low risk and possibly beneficial. Other CAM therapies, such as immune-stimulating supplements, bee venom, and hyperbaric oxygen, are ineffective, dangerous, or unstudied. Providing access to information about the risks and benefits of CAM therapies may increase the quality of care that is provided to patients with MS.
The Human Microcirculation
Abstract: The microcirculation is responsible for orchestrating adjustments in vascular tone to match local tissue perfusion with oxygen demand. Beyond this metabolic dilation, the microvasculature plays a critical role in modulating vascular tone...
Early diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis can improve survival: an observational intensive care unit cohort study.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, causative pathogens, clinical management and outcomes of patients presenting to a tertiary adult Australian intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of necrotizing...
[Treatment of brain tumor patients: hyperthermia, hyperbaric oxygenation, electric fields or nanoparticles].
Abstract: Despite considerable advancements in the therapy of malignant glioma in recent years with modern radiation and surgical techniques, alkylating and antiangiogenic chemotherapy, as well as molecular-based treatment decisions, treatment...
Early diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis can improve survival: an observational intensive care unit cohort study.

Prognostic factors predicting ischemic wound healing following hyperbaric oxygenation therapy.
Abstract: Identifying patients who benefit from hyperoxygenation therapy is important, because treatment is time-consuming and involves high costs and complications (minor). Our objective was to develop a model for predicting therapy outcome based...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on Vibrio vulnificus and murine infection caused by it.
Abstract: Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium known to cause fatal necrotizing soft tissue infection in humans. Here, a remarkable therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on V. vulnificus infection provoked by its injection into mouse footpads...
Hypothermia and xenon: novel noble guardians in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?
Abstract: The financial and emotional cost of caring for children affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is enormous, and developing therapeutic strategies to prevent or ameliorate the severity of HI-related brain injury remains a major...
American Brachytherapy Society-Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie-European Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ABS-GEC-ESTRO) consensus statement for penile brachytherapy.
Abstract: To develop a consensus statement between the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) and Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie/European Society for Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology (GEC-ESTRO) for the use of brachytherapy in the primary...
