Internal carotid artery dissection in stroke from SCUBA diving: a case report.
Abstract: Although diving with compressed air is generally safe, neurological problems resulting from infarction in SCUBA diving are well known, including arterial gas embolism and decompression sickness (caisson's disease, bends) involving the...
QEEG-Guided Neurofeedback in the Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Abstract Introduction. Blinded, placebo-controlled research (e.g., Sterman, 2000) has documented the ability of brainwave biofeedback to recondition brain wave patterns. Neurofeedback has been used successfully with uncontrolled epilepsy, ADD/ADHD,...

Abstract: Currently wound treatment options of amputation stumps due to purpura fulminans include healing by secondary intention from wound debridement, split-thickness skin grafting, tissue and muscle flaps, plantar skin free transfer, skin...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy protects against mitochondrial dysfunction and delays onset of motor neuron disease in Wobbler mice
Abstract The Wobbler mouse is a model of human motor neuron disease. Recently we reported the impairment of mitochondrial complex IV in Wobbler mouse CNS, including motor cortex and spinal cord. The present study was designed to test the effect of...
A phase II study of radiotherapy after hyperbaric oxygenation combined with interferon-beta and nimustine hydrochloride to treat supratentorial malignant gliomas.
Abstract: Hypoxic cells play a key role in the radioresistance of malignant glioma. Interferon-beta, ACNU as nimustine hydrochloride and radiotherapy (IAR) is a common therapy for malignant glioma in Japan. Since hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)...
A review of the scientific evidence on the treatment of traumatic brain injuries and strokes with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: This review sought to determine the strength of the scientific evidence relating to the therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygen for traumatic brain injury or stroke. In order to reduce the possibility of omitting relevant human clinical...
