Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Tissue hypoxia in acute myocardial infarction and possible approaches to its correction].
Abstract: Gas exchange values were studied in 94 patients with complicated myocardial infarction. The degree of hypoxia correlated with the severity of complications during the acute stage of disease, which coincided with disorders in the...
Hyperbaric oxygenation pretreatment induces catalase and reduces infarct size in ischemic rat myocardium.
Abstract: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a major complication occurring in heart stroke, cardiopulmonary bypass surgeries, and heart transplantation. Reactive oxygen species generated during the reperfusion phase overwhelm the scavenging capacities...
Applications of hyperbaric oxygen in otolaryngology head and neck surgery: facial cutaneous flaps.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is of significant benefit in the setting of an ischemic flap of the head and neck. Mechanistically, hyperbaric oxygen decreases local tissue edema and improves oxygen delivery to compromised tissues. Both...

[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the changes in serum sIL-2R and Fn in severe burn patients].
Abstract: Many reports showed that level of soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) in sera was obviously increased in burn patients, while plasma fibronectin (Fn) was markedly decreased, and they had close relation with the occurrence and...
Modulation of redox signal transduction pathways in the treatment of cancer.
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage to DNA is associated with induction of stress-activated protein kinases leading to secondary and tertiary effects on the nuclear matrix, cytoplasmic transport mechanisms, and altered...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in trauma surgery].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is achieved when a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen in an environment of elevated atmospheric pressure. Physiologically, this produces a directly proportional increase in the plasma volume fraction of transported...
Soft tissue reconstruction for calcaneal fractures or osteomyelitis.
Abstract: A systematic approach of the surgical management of a calcaneal fracture can minimize the potential of soft tissue complications. When reducing a closed calcaneal fracture, the incision used affects the postoperative complications. The...
