Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Perspectives in the treatment of vascular dementia.
Abstract: The diagnosis and treatment of vascular dementia (VaD) are particularly challenging because of its multiple causal lesions and the variety of its clinical presentations. Even poststroke dementia cases may be due to preexisting Alzheimer's...
Hyperbaric oxygen: does it promote growth or recurrence of malignancy?
Abstract: It has been a concern that a therapeutic modality recommended as an adjunct to healing and administered to promote proliferation of fibroblasts, epithelial cells and blood vessels in a wound could also lead to proliferation of malignant...
Inhibition of apoptosis by hyperbaric oxygen in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model.
Abstract: The hypothesis was tested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) reduced brain infarction by preventing apoptotic death in ischemic cortex in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: current trends and applications.
Abstract: Hyperbaric medicine is the fascinating use of barometric pressure for delivering increased oxygen dissolved in plasma to body tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) or hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) involves intermittent inhalation of 100%...
[Central nervous system involvement in patients with decompression illness].
Abstract: Dysbarism or decompression illness (DCI), a general term applied to all pathological changes secondary to altered environmental pressure, has two forms decompression sickness (DCS) and arterial gas embolism (AGE) after pulmonary...
Patent foramen ovale and paradoxical systemic embolism: a bibliographic review.
Abstract: A patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been reported to be an important risk factor for cardioembolic cerebrovascular accidents through paradoxical systemic embolization, and it provides one potential mechanism for the paradoxical systemic...
Decompression illness in divers: a review of the literature.
Abstract: Neurologists may be consulted to diagnose and treat the severe neurologic injuries that can occur in divers with decompression illness (DCI). Subclinical bubbles form during normal diving activity. DCI, a diffuse and multifocal process,...
Simple approach to the radiated scalp wound using INTEGRA skin substitute.
Abstract: The chronic irradiated scalp wound remains one of the most difficult reconstructions for the plastic surgeon. With its inherent radiodermatitis and poor healing potential, chronic ulcers down to bone will result if coverage cannot be...
Composite earlobe grafts to reconstruct the lateral nasal ala and sill.
Abstract: Numerous operations have been described to address the unilateral cleft lip deformity. One area that has not received significant attention is the deficient join between the nasal ala and the upper lip. Several surgeons have advocated...
