Effects of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen on oxidative stress in rats with type II collagen-induced arthritis.
Abstract: Arthritis was induced in 9-week-old female Dark Agouti rats by injecting type II collagen. Serum levels of the derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (dROMs), which are oxidative stress markers, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in...
Fasting induces preproghrelin mRNA expression in the brain and gut of zebrafish, Danio rerio
Abstract Ghrelin is a gut/brain hormone with a unique acyl modification and various biological functions in fish and mammals. In addition to its possible role as a circulating orexigenic factor, ghrelin has been shown to regulate several other...
Hyperbaric Autism Treatment Shows Possible Promise
To battle her son's autism, Kazuko Curtin did more than look into a treatment -- she started a clinic for it. Twelve years ago, Curtin was told by doctors that her son had autism. In subsequent years, while attending conferences, she heard about...
Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help autistic kids?
"It may help reverse, theoretically, some of the process that’s causing the autism." You might be familiar with hyperbaric oxygen treatment, in which a patient breathes in extra oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber, as a therapy for the bends...
Nonoperative Treatment of Shoulder Impingement
Abstract: Decreasing the Inflammatory Process. Adjuncts in diminishing the chemical reaction of the inflammatory process are rest, therapeutic modalities, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. When the inflammatory mechanism is inhibited, the...
Low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy and SPECT brain imaging in the treatment of blast-induced chronic traumatic brain injury (post-concussion syndrome) and post traumatic stress disorder: a case report.
Abstract: A 25-year-old male military veteran presented with diagnoses of post concussion syndrome and post traumatic stress disorder three years after loss of consciousness from an explosion in combat. The patient underwent single photon emission...
