Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Susac syndrome: clinical and diagnostic approach. A new case report].
Abstract: The Susac syndrome is made up of the clinical triad: encephalopathy, visual and hearing defects. It is caused by microangiopathy of unknown origin affecting the small arteries of the brain, retina and cochlea. It is very uncommon. It...
While a phobic waits: regional brain electrical and autonomic activity in social phobics during anticipation of public speaking
Abstract Background: Recent studies have highlighted the role of right-sided anterior temporal and prefrontal activation during anxiety, yet no study has been performed with social phobics that assesses regional brain and autonomic function. This...
Analysis of oxidative DNA damage and HPRT mutations in humans after hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: DNA damage induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) seems to play an important role in the induction of mutations and cancer. We have recently shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment of volunteers (i.e., exposure to 100% oxygen at a...
[New approaches in neurosurgery and hyperbaric medicine–the importance of preventive and industrial medicine].
Abstract: Neurosurgical patients have been mainly treated by surgical procedures over the past decades. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in neurosurgery has been used in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, head trauma,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cerebral palsy: two complications of treatment.
Abstract: There is growing interest in the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO(2)) for children with cerebral palsy. Although there is no rigorous evidence to support this management, private hyperbaric centers have been established throughout...

Midazolam premedication reduces propofol requirements for sedation during regional anesthesia.
Abstract: Propofol is often used for sedation during spinal anesthesia. We investigated the effects of midazolam premedication on the propofol requirements and incidence of complications during sedation. In a prospective randomized, controlled, and...
Hyperbaric oxygen decreases infarct size and behavioral deficit after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Cerebral hypoxia is a major component of immediate and secondary cell damage caused by ischemia. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is a potent means to increase the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood plasma. The effectiveness of HBO in clinical...
Necrotizing soft tissue infections.
Abstract: Necrotizing soft tissue infections are a group of highly lethal infections that typically occur after trauma or surgery. Many individual infectious entities have been described, but they all have similar pathophysiologies, clinical...
