Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Positive behavioral and electrophysiological changes following neurofeedback training in children with autism
Abstract Two electrophysiological studies tested the hypothesis that operant conditioning of mu rhythms via neurofeedback training can renormalize mu suppression, an index of mirror neuron activity, and improve behavior in children diagnosed with...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cesarean section wound in diabetes mellitus gravida.
Abstract: We report the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to treat the complication of necrotizing fasciitis following Cesarean section in a postpartum gravida with diabetes mellitus. Our patient was a 25-year-old, gravida 1, para 1, woman...
Neuroprotective Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Brain Injury Is Mediated by Preservation of Mitochondrial Membrane Properties
Abstract Recent experimental data have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was associated increased Bcl-2 expression at the injury site that correlated with reduced apoptosis. We hypothesized that HBOT mediated enhancement of Bcl-2...
Early hyperbaric oxygen therapy for reducing radiotherapy side effects: early results of a randomized trial in oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal cancer.
Abstract: Comparison of quality of life (QoL) and side effects in a randomized trial for early hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) after radiotherapy (RT). From 2006, 19 patients with tumor originating from the tonsillar fossa and/or soft palate (15),...
Early complications following haematopoietic SCT in children.
Abstract: Early complications can be defined as those occurring within 100 days after transplant. Both epithelial and endothelial damage represent the pathogenetic basis for the onset of the most frequent complications. Clinical features related to...
Normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for migraine and cluster headache.
Abstract: Migraine and cluster headaches are severe and disabling. Migraine affects up to 18% of women, while cluster headaches are much less common (0.2% of the population). A number of acute and prophylactic therapies are available. Hyperbaric...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has recently emerged as a potential primary option for the management of hemorrhagic cystitis. We review our experience treating hemorrhagic cystitis with HBO. Between January 2001 and May 2007, eight...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on patients with traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical therapeutic use of oxygen at a higher atmospheric pressure. The United States Food and Drug Administration have approved several clinical applications for HBOT, but HBOT in traumatic brain...
Neurotrauma research in Taiwan.
Abstract: Because of the rapid industrial and economic growth, Taiwan and other developing countries have faced an enormous increase in the number of motorcycles, which has subsequently caused a rapid increase of the motorcycle-related traumatic...
