Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: solution for difficult to heal acute wounds? Systematic review.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to treat various wound types. However, the possible beneficial and harmful effects of HBOT for acute wounds are unclear. We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of HBOT...
Cyclooxygenase-2 mediates hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning in the rat model of transient global cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) allows brain protection against transient global ischemia. In the present study, we hypothesize that the mechanism of HBO-PC involves the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cerebral...
Pyoderma gangrenosum: a report of a rare complication after knee arthroplasty requiring muscle flap cover supplemented by negative pressure therapy and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is rare ulcerating skin condition easily confused with wound infection following surgery. We report a complicated case of PG following knee arthroplasty where delayed diagnosis and repeated debridements lead to...
[Hyperbaric oxygen for treatment of one patient with brain impairment after occupational heat stroke].

A prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial comparing standard wound care with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to standard wound care only for the treatment of chronic, non-healing ulcers of the lower limb in patients with diabetes mellitus: a study protocol.
Abstract: It has been suggested that the use of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, and decreases the risk of lower extremity amputations. A limited number of studies have used a double blind approach...
QT interval and QT dispersion during the induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation: a comparison of remifentanil and fentanyl.
Abstract: The aim of this paper was to determine if there were any significant differences between the effects of fentanyl delivered as a bolus or remifentanil delivered as a continuous infusion on the QT interval and QT dispersion (QTD) during the...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer.
Abstract: Although simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant improves most complications of type 1 diabetes, suppression of the immune system increases the risk for infection. The authors report the case of a patient who, despite receiving a...
Microcirculation abnormalities in patients with fibromyalgia – measured by capillary microscopy and laser fluxmetry
Abstract This unblinded preliminary case-control study was done to demonstrate functional and structural changes in the microcirculation of patients with primary fibromyalgia (FM). We studied 10 women (54.0 +/- 3.7 years of age) with FM diagnosed...
Neurofeedback intervention in fibromyalgia syndrome; a randomized, controlled, rater blind clinical trial
Abstract We designed a randomized, rater blind study to assess the efficacy of EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback-NFB) in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Eighteen patients received twenty sessions of NFB-sensory motor rhythm (SMR) treatment...
