Microbiological evaluation of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on periodontal disease.
Abstract: The term periodontitis indicates a variety of clinical manifestations of infectious disorders in which the supporting tissues of the teeth are attacked. The initiation and progression of periodontal disease are attributed to the presence...
Procalcitonin as a diagnostic aid in diabetic foot infections.
Abstract: The diagnosis of diabetic foot infection (DFI) is usually a challenge to the clinician. Procalcitonin (PCT), a 116-amino acid propeptide of calcitonin, is a new marker of bacterial infections and sepsis. We evaluated the serum value of...
Hyperbaric oxygenation for tumour sensitisation to radiotherapy: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
Abstract: Radiotherapy is a well-established treatment for some solid tumours. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may improve radiotherapeutic killing of hypoxic cancer cells, so the simultaneous administration of radiotherapy and HBO may reduce...
Effects of a 3‐day fast on regional lipid and glucose metabolism in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue
Abstract Fasting is characterized by increased whole body lipolysis and lipid oxidation, decreased glucose oxidation and insulin resistance. To identify the regional sources and underlying mechanisms, we studied 10 healthy male volunteers...
Does hyperbaric oxygen administration decrease side effect and improve quality of life after pelvic radiation?
Abstract: to evaluate the influence of HBOT to the side effect and quality of life after pelvic radiation. this is an open randomized, parallel, prospective study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oncology Division and...
Systematic review of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cerebral palsy: the state of the evidence.
Abstract: A systematic review of the evidence was conducted on the benefits and adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) for cerebral palsy (CP). Studies of any HBOT regimen in patients with CP were included except for case reports and...
Neurological manifestations of decompression illness in recreational divers – the Cozumel experience.
Abstract: Neurological signs and symptoms are common in recreational divers with decompression illness (DCI). The spectrum of neurological manifestations, temporal profile, and laboratory findings are described in a large series of 200 consecutive...
Early changes in physiological variables after stroke.
Abstract: Several aspects of physiology, notably blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose, and blood oxygen saturation, may be altered after an ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. Generally, blood pressure and temperature rise...
Mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia rat model.
Abstract: Hypoxic ischemic (HI) injury in neonates damages brain tissues. We examined the mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) in neonatal HI rat model. Seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation...
