Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Role of oxidative stress in depression
Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have vital roles in cellular signaling and in defence against invasive microorganisms. Excessive ROS generation and exhaustion of antioxidative defences trigger proinflammatory signaling, damaging vital...
During NC Phase 1 COVID-19 Re-Opening
COVID-19 Update - Extivita-RTP REMAINS 5 DAYS/WEEK and continue to serve all of our patients with dive times offered throughout the day. As North Carolina enters Phase 1 of re-opening today, we continue to comply with CDC infection control...
Evaluation of the NAD + biosynthetic pathway in ALS patients and effect of modulating NAD + levels in hSOD1-linked ALS mouse models
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Astrocytes from diverse ALS models induce motor neuron death in co-culture. Enhancing NAD+Â availability, or increasing the expression of the...
Psoriasis
Overview Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks...
Effect of Neurofeedback on Postural Balance and Attention of Women With Knee Osteoarthritis After Bilateral Total Knee Replacement
 Abstract  Objective: As life expectancy increases, the incidence of degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis also increases. Dynamic balance is one of the essential factors that affect the mobility and daily living activity of patients...
Intravenous Micronutrient Therapy (Myers’ Cocktail) for Fibromyalgia
Intravenous micronutrient therapy (IVMT), and specifically the Myers’ Cocktail, is a popular approach for treating fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) among complementary and alternative medicine practitioners, but its efficacy is uncertain. This trial assessed the feasibility, safety, and provided insights into the efficacy of this therapy.
Minimize Loss of Life From COVID-19 with HBOT
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can destroy harmful bacteria and viruses, while enhancing the body’s natural defenses. We propose HBOT for high risk, early stage COVID-19 patients, recommending this novel use of pressure and oxygen based on its...
Self-Regulation of SMR Power Led to an Enhancement of Functional Connectivity of Somatomotor Cortices in Fibromyalgia Patients
Abstract Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that altered activity in somatosensory and motor cortices play a key role in pain chronification. Neurofeedback training of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) is a tool which allow individuals to self-modulate...
Modulation of Cellular Biochemistry, Epigenetics and Metabolomics by Ketone Bodies. Implications of the Ketogenic Diet in the Physiology of the Organism and Pathological States
Abstract Ketone bodies (KBs), comprising β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone, are a set of fuel molecules serving as an alternative energy source to glucose. KBs are mainly produced by the liver from fatty acids during periods of fasting,...
