Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on experimental burn wound healing in rats: a randomized controlled study.
Abstract: A body of data supports the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in the treatment of thermal burns, but the role of HBO2 in the treatment of burn injury remains a subject of controversy. The aim of this study was to evaluate...
[Management of radiation cystitis].
Abstract: Radiation cystitis is a lesion of the bladder caused by irradiation of a pelvic organ. These lesions can range from a simple inflammatory reaction to almost complete bladder retraction. The frequency of chronic lesions is estimated to be...
Reversible motor and sensory peripheral neuropathy in a patient following acute carbon monoxide intoxication.
Abstract: Central nervous system complications following carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are well reported in the literature but peripheral neuropathy is under-recognized. We report the clinical and electrophysiological studies of the transient...
Beneficial effects of intermittent fasting and caloric restriction on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems
Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF; reduced meal frequency) and caloric restriction (CR) extend lifespan and increase resistance to age-related diseases in rodents and monkeys and improve the health of overweight humans. Both IF and CR enhance...
Pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen and its effect on neuropsychometric dysfunction and systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass: a prospective randomized double-blind trial.
Abstract: Animal studies have shown that pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen can induce central nervous system ischemic tolerance and also modulate the inflammatory response. We evaluated this therapy in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass....
