Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Regional CBF in chronic stable TBI treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: To investigate whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO2) could improve neurologic deficits and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in chronic traumatic brain injuries (TBI), the authors employed a nonrandomized control pilot trial. Five...
Synergy of HBO2 and a local antibiotic carrier for experimental osteomyelitis due to Staphylococcus aureus in rats.
Abstract: A standard rat model of Staphylococcus aureus-induced osteomyelitis was used to compare the effect of HBO2, a local antibiotic carrier (gentamicin-containing collagen sponge) and the combination of HBO2 with a local antibiotic carrier....
Regional CBF in chronic stable TBI treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: To investigate whether Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO2) could improve neurologic deficits and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in chronic traumatic brain injuries (TBI), the authors employed a nonrandomized control pilot trial. Five...
Hyperbaric oxygen as an intervention for managing wound hypoxia: its role and usefulness in diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: Few topics in diabetic wound management generate as much "heated" discussion as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Hyperbaric oxygen is an intermittent inhalation therapy in which the patient breathes oxygen at greater than 1 atm of...
The orthopaedic surgeon’s role in the treatment and prevention of diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: Foot ulcers in individuals with diabetes often are the precursors to lower extremity amputation. The multidisciplinary team approach is highly effective in the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot morbidity. This article focuses on...
Long-term hyperbaric oxygenation retards progression in multiple sclerosis patients
Objective: To evaluate the effect of prolonged courses of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2T) on the progressive deterioration of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Design: Prospective study of the disability of 703 MS patients first treated five or...
Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduce breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema? A pilot study.
Abstract: Arm lymphedema after surgery or radiation for breast cancer is common, causing pain and limitation of activities. Previous reports of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for breast edema led us to consider the use of HBO therapy for arm...
Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunctive therapy for bilateral compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure after heroin intake.
Abstract: Heroin abuse causes various medical and surgical complications. We report a case of heroin-induced severe bilateral compartment syndrome complicated by rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure and extremely elevated creatinine kinase. A...
Neurofeedback with anxiety and affective disorders
Abstract A robust body of neurophysiologic research is reviewed on functional brain abnormalities associated with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. A review of more recent research finds that pharmacologic treatment may not be...
