Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke – experimental efficacy and molecular mechanisms.
Abstract: Hyperbaric (HBO) or normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy applied in acute ischemic stroke aims to increase oxygen supply to the ischemic tissue and to reduce the extent of irreversible tissue damage. Over the past decade, multiple studies have...
Increased 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine, a marker of oxidative damage to DNA, in major depression and myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome
Abstract Background: There is now evidence that major depression and myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are accompanied by partially overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms, i.e. activation of various inflammatory and...
Intra-arterial air thrombogenesis after cerebral air embolism complicating lower extremity sclerotherapy.
Abstract: Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a potentially life-threatening event. Intraarterial air can occlude blood flow directly or cause thrombosis. Sclerotherapy is an extremely rare cause of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Case-report A...
Guiding principles in choosing a therapeutic table for DCI hyperbaric therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric therapy is the basis of treatment for pervasive development disorders. For this reason, the choice of the right therapeutic table for each case is critical. Above all, the delay in recompression time with respect to the first...
Mathematical model of hyperbaric oxygen therapy applied to chronic diabetic wounds.
Abstract: The failure of certain wounds to heal (including diabetic foot ulcers) is a significant socioeconomic issue for countries worldwide. There is much debate about the best way to treat these wounds and one approach that is shrouded with...
An unusual "winter case" of myocarditis.
Abstract: Myocardial injury from moderate to severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is common. We reported a case of acute myocarditis related to CO poisoning in a 34 year-old man confirmed by normal coronary angiography, diffuse sub-epicardial late...
Hyperbaric oxygenation enhances transplanted cell graft and functional recovery in the infarct heart.
Abstract: A major limitation to the application of stem-cell therapy to repair ischemic heart damage is the low survival of transplanted cells in the heart, possibly due to poor oxygenation. We hypothesized that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) can be...
Associations of depression with C-reactive protein, IL-1, and IL-6: a meta-analysis
Abstract Objective: To assess the magnitude and direction of associations of depression with C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-1, and IL-6 in community and clinical samples. Methods: Systematic review of articles published between January...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning attenuates early apoptosis after spinal cord ischemia in rats.
Abstract: This study tested the hypothesis that spinal cord ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) is mediated by inhibition of early apoptosis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were preconditioned with consecutive 4...
