Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Dual effect of HBO on cerebral infarction in MCAO rats.
Abstract: Various reports in the literature have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) reduces cerebral infarction both in animals and humans. After the initial ischemic insult, however, initiating HBO treatment at different intervals has yielded...
Prediction of neurologic outcome in patients with spinal cord injury by using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in predicting neurological recovery in patients with spinal cord injury was evaluated. HBO has been used to treat spinal cord injury, but HBO does not appear to greatly alter the...
Hyperbaric oxygenation as a successful therapeutic approach in oral wound dehiscence after operative stabilization of an unstable post-traumatic odontoid non-union.
Abstract: The non-operative treatment of unstable traumatic Anderson's type II odontoid fractures has a high risk potential to develop non-unions. Even after operative stabilization literature reveals non-union rates up to 20%. Acute life...
Nuclear factor-kappaB transcription factor decoy treatment inhibits graft coronary artery disease after cardiac transplantation in rodents.
Abstract: Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor that upregulates adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and ELAM-1. We hypothesized the use of ex vivo pressure-mediated delivery of transcription factor decoys (TFD) to NF-kappaB...
The evaluation of subatmospheric pressure and hyperbaric oxygen in ischemic full-thickness wound healing.
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of subatmospheric pressure and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as adjuncts in the treatment of hypoxic full-thickness wounds in a rabbit model. We hypothesized that subatmospheric pressure and HBO independently are...
Hyperbaric oxygen in trauma and surgical emergencies.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), that is the administration of 100% oxygen delivered under pressure, has a beneficial effect in several surgical conditions. Its use has been assessed and audited and its pharmacological effects...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a therapy in search of a disease?
Abstract: Phillips, , , , , , , , (2000). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a therapy in search of a disease? Dermatologic surgery : official publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et al.], 2000...
Combined photodynamic therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation in carcinoma of the esophagus and the esophago-gastric junction.
Abstract: The photochemical reaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the presence of molecular oxygen. Due to anoxic regions in tumor tissue and vascular shutdown during PDT the efficiency is limited. Therefore, the use of hyperbaric...
