[The normoxic therapeutic compression effect on microcirculation in acute stroke].
Abstract: The study evaluates efficacy of two hyperbaric therapeutic regimes--1,-51,1 atm and 1,2 atm in patients with an acute ischemic stroke. Acid-base equilibrium dynamics of capillary and venous blood, whole blood and plasma, platelet...
P.3.041 Clinical and neurophysiological efficacy of neurofeedback in the combined therapy of anxiety disorders resistant to psychopharmacotherapy
Abstract The objective of this study was to assess clinical efficacy and safety of proproten in anxiety disorders in comparison with diazepam. A multicenter randomized open-label comparative trial was conducted in four clinical centers in Russia. A...
Brown recluse spider bites: a complex problem wound. A brief review and case study.
Abstract: Brown recluse spiders (Loxosceles reclusa) are responsible for virtually all documented cases of spider bites leading to significant necrosis. The actual spider bite often goes unnoticed for as long as 4 to 6 hours, which makes diagnosis...
Reduced infarct volume and differential effects on glial cell activation after hyperbaric oxygen treatment in rat permanent focal cerebral ischaemia.
Abstract: Permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) causes neurodegeneration and a robust activation of glial cells primarily in sensorimotor brain regions of rats. It has been shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) increases oxygen supply to...
Complementary and alternative therapies for cerebral palsy.
Abstract: The optimal practice of medicine includes integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available clinical evidence from systematic research. This article reviews nine treatment modalities used for children who have cerebral...
Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunctive treatment for zygomycosis.
Abstract: Zygomycosis is a rare but emerging mycosis. Because of the sub-optimal efficacy of the standard antifungal treatment for this disease, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used occasionally as an adjunctive therapeutic modality. A review of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for treating haemorrhagic cystitis. From February 1997 to April 2004, seven patients with radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis were treated with HBO; they received a mean (range) of 30...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the size of Leishmania amazonensis-induced soft tissue lesions in mice.
Abstract: In this study we determined whether exposing mice to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) would alter various disease parameters of a susceptible mouse strain infected with Leishmania amazonensis. BALB/c mice exposed to HBO (100% O2 at a pressure of...
