Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Long-term functional and neurological outcome after simultaneous treatment with tissue-plasminogen activator and hyperbaric oxygen in early phase of embolic stroke in rats.
Abstract: The combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) and recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) is of interest in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with a view to combine positive effects of both strategies. We investigated...
Diabetic persons with foot ulcers and their perceptions of hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy.
Abstract: To elucidate how diabetic patients with limb-threatening foot lesions perceive and evaluate content and organisation of treatment in a multi-place hyperbaric oxygen chamber. To our knowledge there are no patients' evaluations of diabetes...
Cyclo-oxygenase-2 mediates hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning-induced neuroprotection in the mouse model of surgical brain injury.
Abstract: We investigated the role of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) in mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) in the mouse model of surgical brain injury (SBI). C57BL mice were administered 100% oxygen for 1 hour at 2.5 atmosphere...
Massive systemic air embolism during percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of a primary lung tumor.
Abstract: We report the case of a systemic air embolism occurring during pulmonary radiofrequency ablation. At the end of the procedure, the patient experienced a sudden myocardial infarction, complicated by ventricular fibrillation, cardiac...

Hyperbaric oxygen as adjunctive therapy in experimental mediastinitis
Abstract Background: Mediastinitis is a dreaded complication of cardiac surgical procedures. The purpose of our study was to research the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in the treatment of experimental mediastinitis and to investigate...
Successful treatment of calcific uremic arteriolopathy in a pediatric dialysis patient.
Abstract: Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is a rare, life-threatening disease, typically affecting patients with end-stage renal disease. It is characterized by widespread vascular calcification, endothelial fibrosis and end-organ ischemia....
Far-infrared saunas for treatment of cardiovascular risk factors: summary of published evidence
Abstract Objective: To review the literature about the health benefits of far-infrared sauna (FIRS) use. Quality of evidence: A search of Web of Science, EBSCO, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid HealthSTAR, and EMBASE using the terms far-infrared and sauna,...
