Arterial oxygen tension increase 2-3 h after hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a prospective observational study.
Abstract: Inhalation of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been reported to decrease arterial oxygen tension (PaO(2)) in the early period after exposure. The current investigation aimed at evaluating whether and to what extent arterial blood gases were...

Early and late effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on oxidative stress parameters in diabetic patients.
Abstract: Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen leads to increased amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are derived from various sources. After the discovery that ROS can function as signaling molecules, the idea of ROS being hazardous to...
[Peripheral facial palsy secondary to middle-ear overpressure].
Abstract: Facial baroparesis is an ischemic neurapraxia of the facial nerve. It occurs after airplane trips or prolonged diving. This paralysis is due to the tympanic promontory. Several promoting factors have been identified, including tubal...
Evaluation of hyperbaric oxygen treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders following traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Improvement of clinical symptoms following hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders arising from traumatic brain injury was proved by our previous study. This study was aim to obtain the evidence of other changes....
Decreased cerebral blood flow and prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease: a multicenter HMPAO-SPECT study
Abstract Purpose: To determine the usefulness of brain perfusion SPECT for evaluating the severity and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: Eighty-four AD patients were included. At entry, 99mTc-HMPAO-SPECT, the Mini Mental State...
EEG neurofeedback: a brief overview and an example of peak alpha frequency training for cognitive enhancement in the elderly
Abstract Neurofeedback (NF) is an electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback technique for training individuals to alter their brain activity via operant conditioning. Research has shown that NF helps reduce symptoms of several neurological and...
[A proposed algorithm for medicodental care of patients treated with bisphosphonates].
Abstract: Bisphophonates (BP) were first named diphosphonates. They are potent inhibitors of osteoclastic activity and so reduce bone remodeling. Additionally they have anti-angiogenic properties and contribute to progressive disappearance of bony...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for the treatment of an epidural abscess in the posterior fossa in an 8-month-old infant.
Abstract: Epidural abscesses in children are extremely rare, especially in the posterior fossa. In some cases antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage are insufficient for complete healing. We present the case of an 8-month-old boy who developed an...
