Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Linezolid penetration into wound tissue of two diabetic patients before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: We describe linezolid tissue penetration in two diabetic patients with lower-extremity ulcers, measured by in vivo microdialysis, before and after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. Each diabetic patient received a single orally...
Effect of intravenous ondansetron on sensory and motor block after spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine.
Abstract: Ondansetron is a potent antiemetic and a competitive antagonist at serotonin receptors, which are also involved in modulation of pain. This study was designed to assess the effect of systemic ondansetron on sensory and motor block after...
[Necrotizing fasciitis. 2011 update].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis belongs to a group of complicated soft tissue infections that can be even life threatening. Despite growing knowledge about its etiology, predictors, and the clinical progression, the mortality remains at a high...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury: still an enigma.
Abstract: With their article on the use of HBOT for post TBI dysautonomia, Lv and colleagues discuss a novel use for this form of treatment. Although HBOT has been a part of our TBI treatment armamentarium for many years, its use remains a very...
Vasculogenic stem cell mobilization and wound recruitment in diabetic patients: increased cell number and intracellular regulatory protein content associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Diabetic patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapies (HBO(2)T) for refractory lower extremity neuropathic ulcers exhibit more than a twofold elevation (p=0.004) in circulating stem cells after treatments and the post-HBO(2)T CD34(+)...
Early hyperbaric oxygen treatment for nonarteritic central retinal artery obstruction.
Abstract: To compare hyperbaric oxygen treatment combined with hemodilution with hemodilution only in central retinal artery obstruction. Retrospective, nonrandomized case series. We reviewed records of all our patients diagnosed with central...
Nutraceuticals and headache: the biological basis.
Abstract: Nutrition must affect the structure and functioning of the brain. Since the brain has very high metabolic activity, what we consume throughout the day is likely to dramatically influence both its structure and moment to moment function....
The use of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy in urology.
Abstract: The basic principle of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HOT) is to increase the dissolved oxygen in the blood when it is administered at high pressure. Then O2 will be distributed to the tissues through the pressure gradient, in this...
Can procalcitonin predict bone infection in people with diabetes with infected foot ulcers? A pilot study.
Abstract: The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is a key step of diabetic foot management. Previous studies showed that procalcitonin (PCT), a novel infection marker, is superior to conventional infection markers in the diagnosis of diabetic foot...
