Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Rationale of hyperbaric oxygenation in cerebral vascular insult.
Abstract: Cerebrovascular diseases and especially ischemic stroke are a leading cause of death. They occur mostly due to an insufficient oxygen (O2) supply to the central neural tissue as a result of thromboembolic events and/or obstructive vessel...
The case for evidence in wound care: investigating advanced treatment modalities in healing chronic diabetic lower extremity wounds.
Abstract: Major complications of diabetes mellitus include lower leg and foot ulcers, which can result in amputation. Further study is needed to determine optimal treatments for these challenging wounds. Growth factor therapy and hyperbaric oxygen...
Management and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and infections: a health economic review.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcers and infections are common and incur substantial economic burden for society, patients and families. We performed a comprehensive review, on a number of databases, of health economic evaluations of a variety of...
Hyperbaric oxygen does not improve outcome in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infection.
Abstract: Patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) require prompt surgical debridement, appropriate intravenous antibiotics, and intensive support. Despite aggressive treatment, their mortality and morbidity rates remain high. The...
Management of brain abscesses in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Abstract: Brain abscesses in children with leukemia or other malignancies are rare and potentially fatal. We report on four children who developed brain abscesses during treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). All patients received...
Clinical correlate of brain SPECT perfusion abnormalities in fibromyalgia
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the specific clinical correlate of brain SPECT perfusion abnormalities reported in fibromyalgia. Methods: We performed a whole-brain voxel-based correlation analysis involving regional cerebral...
Is early diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis important?
Abstract: Bennett, , , , , , , , (2008). Is early diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis important? ANZ journal of surgery, 2008 Nov;78(11):947-8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18959691
Hypoxia enhances the replication of oncolytic herpes simplex virus.
Abstract: Hypoxia contributes to the resistance of tumors to conventional therapies. We hypothesized that their replication in hypoxic environments like brain or oral mucosa would make oncolytic herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) such as G207 (which has...
Surgical management of surgery and radiation induced peristomal neck ulcerations.
Abstract: PROBLEMS/OBJECTIVE: Non-healing cervical skin ulcerations with concomitant necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and muscle is a rare but feared complication of radiotherapy that can arise in cervical regions. Constant erosion of the...
