Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy of cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy of cerebral ischemia has been evaluated in a number of human and animal studies; however, there is presently no consensus on its efficacy. We present a review of animal and human studies on HBO therapy of...
Vitamin B6 level is associated with symptoms of depression
Abstract Background: A low level of vitamin B6 might theoretically cause depression as vitamin B6 is a cofactor in the tryptophan-serotonin pathway. In the present study, we examined the association between depression and the phosphate derivative...
Effects of repeated sauna treatment on ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic heart failure
Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to determine whether repeated 60 degrees C sauna treatment improves cardiac arrhythmias in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients, because ventricular arrhythmias are an important therapeutic...
Mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen and neuroprotection in stroke.
Abstract: Cerebral vascular diseases, such as neonatal encephalopathy and focal or global cerebral ischemia, all result in reduction of blood flow to the affected regions, and cause hypoxia-ischemia, disorder of energy metabolism, activation of...
Emphysematous cystitis: rapid resolution of symptoms with hyperbaric treatment: a case report.
Abstract: Emphysematous cystitis is a rare disease that occurs most often in elderly diabetic patients characterized by gas formation in the bladder wall due to infection. The infecting organism is usually an aerobic bacterium, most commonly E....
Effect of arousal methods for 175 cases of prolonged coma after severe traumatic brain injury and its related factors.
Abstract: To determine the effect of arousal methods for prolonged coma of 175 patients with severe traumatic brain injury and related factors. There were 175 cases with persistent coma longer than 1 month after severe traumatic brain injury. Coma...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of brain abscess in children.
Abstract: The treatment of brain abscess remains a challenging topic usually involving a multimodal concept. We report our experience with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in five children presenting with brain abscesses between 1995 and 2002 at the...
Bone marrow oedema and aseptic osteonecrosis in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or non-Hodgkin-lymphoma treated with hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy (HBO): an approach to cure? — BME/AON and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment modality.
Abstract: There is a striking need for additional therapies of bone marrow oedema (BME) and aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in paediatric oncology patients. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy used in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis is...
