Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on erectile function recovery in a rat cavernous nerve injury model.
Abstract: Cavernosal oxygenation appears to be important for preservation of erectile tissue health. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to improve tissue oxygenation and has neuromodulatory effects. This study was designed to define...
Accidental cerebral venous gas embolism in a young patient with congenital heart disease.
Abstract: This article describes an 11-year-old girl with a diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly. Glenn and Fontan surgeries were performed successfully. She had a generalized tonic-clonic seizure after peripheral intravenous infusion under pressure. A...
Liposome encapsulation reduces cantharidin toxicity.
Abstract: Several reports have demonstrated that cantharidin is a strong anticancer compound in vitro; however, its in vivo usefulness is often limited due to its high systemic toxicity. In this study, we encapsulated cantharidin into pegylated...
Vacuum-assisted closure for the treatment of Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a very aggressive necrotizing fasciitis involving subcutaneous fat and skin of scrotal and perineal regions. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a well-known method used to treat complex wounds. The authors for...
Fournier’s gangrene: management at a regional burn center.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene (FG) describes necrotizing infections of the perineum in both sexes. Controversies in treatment of FG include the roles of orchiectomy, urinary and/or fecal diversion, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Because burn centers...
Early radical surgery and antimicrobial therapy with hyperbaric oxygen in necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Anwar, Haque, Rahman, Morris, McDermott, , , , (2008). Early radical surgery and antimicrobial therapy with hyperbaric oxygen in necrotizing fasciitis. Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2008...
Dental extractions and radiotherapy in head and neck oncology: review of the literature.
Abstract: Management of irradiated patients with cancer in the head and neck region represents a challenge for multidisciplinary teams. Radiotherapy promotes cellular and vascular decrease that results in a low response rate in the healing....
Mechanism of ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning involves upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha and erythropoietin in rats.
Abstract: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning on the molecular mechanisms of neuroprotection in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model. Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with HBO (100% O(2), 2...
Evaluation of hardware-related complications in vascularized bone grafts with locking mandibular reconstruction plate fixation.
Abstract: To identify the incidence of hardware and bone-healing complications in patients who underwent locking mandibular reconstruction plate (LMRP) fixation of vascularized bone grafts for reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects. Case...
