Neurofeedback and Lyme’s Disease: A Clinical Application of the Five Phase Model of CNS Functional Transformation and Integration
Introduction: Neurofeedback has generated enormous interest recently, especially in regards to ameliorating the effects of the immune system involved in disorders like Lyme's Disease. Although neurofeedback itself does not mitigate the disease...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on mitochondrial free radicals after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats].
Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)therapy on mitochondrial free radicals after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats. The male SD rats were randomly assigned into two groups, control and HBO groups. All animals were...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibition of apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway in rat brain.
Abstract: This study examined the hypothesis that apoptotic inhibition via mitochondrial pathway was involved in hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC)-induced neuroprotection on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat brain. Male Sprague-Dawley...
Oxidative stress is fundamental to hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Abstract The goal of this review is to outline advances addressing the role that reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen play in therapeutic mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen. The review will be organized around major categories of problems or...
