Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Amelioration of rCBF and PbtO2 following TBI at high altitude by hyperbaric oxygen pre-conditioning.
Abstract: Hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude can lead to brain damage and pre-conditioning with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) can reduce ischemic/hypoxic brain injury. This study investigates the effects of high altitude on traumatic brain injury (TBI)...
[First therapy of decompression injuries].
Abstract: The diving accident is a rare incident for an emergency physician which requires special physical and patho-physiological knowledge. With increasing recreational activities and the fascination of diving also for older persons diving...
[Necrotizing fasciitis].
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an acute soft-tissue infection, associated with a high mortality and morbidity. To reduce the mortality, an early diagnosis and treatment is essential. Our study aims to identify the number of patients, the...
Osteoradionecrosis of the jaws–a current overview–Part 2: dental management and therapeutic options for treatment.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the current theories about pretreatment assessment and dental management of patients receiving head and neck radiotherapy, and the therapeutic options to treat osteoradionecrosis of the jaws, based on...
[Side effects of radiotherapy in oral cavity: diagnosis, prevention and treatment guidelines].
Abstract: To avoid, or at least to reduce complications in patients who require head and neck radiotherapy, adequate oral cavity treatment is necessary before the therapy. Recent management guidelines speak of possibilities of preventing...
Oxygen-sensitive outcomes and gene expression in acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) results in focal deprivation of blood-borne factors, one of them being oxygen. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to identify therapeutic conditions for supplemental oxygen in AIS and (2) to use...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning ameliorates anxiety-like behavior and cognitive impairments via upregulation of thioredoxin reductases in stressed rats.
Abstract: The present study examined the protective effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) and the role of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-induced rat model by using single prolonged stress...
Continuous spinal anesthesia with high dose of local anesthetics.
Abstract: Better control of the level, intensity, and duration of spinal analgesia represents the greatest advantages of continuous spinal anesthesia. With the advent of intermediate catheters (over-the-needle catheter) and its low incidence of...
Factors influencing the outcome of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is an otologic emergency with an incidence of about 5-20 per 100,000 of the population per year. There is no universally accepted standard protocol for the treatment of patients with...
