Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[The use of oxygen as drug and its relevance for wound healing].
Abstract: Plastic surgeons often have to deal with problematic wounds. In reconstructive surgery, as well as in chronic wounds, tissue oxygen supply is often critically low. Similarly in the treatment of severely burned patients, perfusion and...

Extracorporeal shockwave treatment for chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: This prospective study compared extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Seventy-two patients with 72 chronic diabetic foot ulcers were randomly divided into two...
The central role of glutathione in the pathophysiology of human diseases
Abstract Reduced glutathione (L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the prevalent low-molecular-weight thiol in mammalian cells. It is formed in a two-step enzymatic process including, first, the formation of gamma-glutamylcysteine from...
Social fears and social phobia in the USA: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
Abstract Background: Despite heightened awareness of the clinical significance of social phobia, information is still lacking about putative subtypes, functional impairment, and treatment-seeking. New epidemiologic data on these topics are...
The effect of oxygenation level on cerebral post-traumatic apoptotsis is modulated by the 18-kDa translocator protein (also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor) in a rat model of cortical contusion.
Abstract: Hyperbaric hyperoxia has been shown to reduce apoptosis in brain injury. As the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor, is closely associated with the mitochondrial transition pore and...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tumor growth in murine model of PC-3 prostate cancer cell line.
Abstract: To test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has no effect on tumor growth in a murine model of indolent in vivo prostate cancer. HBO means breathing pure (100%) oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Human prostate PC-3...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of chronic refractory radiation proctitis: a randomized and controlled double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up.
Abstract: Cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy remain at life-long risk of radiation-induced injury to normal tissues. We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of...
