Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: Antimicrobial mechanisms and clinical application for infections.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment procedure that involves breathing 100% O for a certain time and under a certain pressure. HBOT is commonly administrated as a primary or alternative therapy for different diseases such as...
Drowning in fresh or salt water: respective influence on respiratory function in a matched cohort study.
Abstract: For the most severe drowned patients, hypoxemia represents one of the major symptoms. As the influence of the type of water (fresh or salt water) on respiratory function is still unclear, the primary endpoint of this multicenter study was...
Hyperbaric oxygen and aerobic exercise in the long-term treatment of fibromyalgia: A narrative review.
Abstract: Chronic pain is one of the most common clinical presentations in the primary care settings. In the US, Fibromyalgia (FM) affects about 1-3% of adults and commonly occurs in adults between the ages of 40-50 years. FM causes widespread...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Alleviates the Inflammatory Response Induced by LPS Through Inhibition of NF-?B/MAPKs-CCL2/CXCL1 Signaling Pathway in Cultured Astrocytes.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibition neuroinflammation mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Primary astrocytes were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) after which they underwent HBOT and separate...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Alleviates the Inflammatory Response Induced by LPS Through Inhibition of NF-κB/MAPKs-CCL2/CXCL1 Signaling Pathway in Cultured Astrocytes.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibition neuroinflammation mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Primary astrocytes were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) after which they underwent HBOT and separate...
Clinical predictors of the effectiveness of tiotropium in adults with symptomatic asthma: a real-life study.
Abstract: Long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) tiotropium improved lung function and reduced risks of exacerbation when added on to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) with or without long-acting B agonists (LABAs) in patients with uncontrolled...
[Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning].
Abstract: Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most commonly seen cause of poisoning in the emergency room (ER). The high affinity between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin and their complex biological characteristics greatly increase the risks of...
Insomnia as a path to alcoholism: tolerance development and dose escalation
Abstract Study objectives:Â To assess the risks associated with the use of alcohol as a "sleep aid," we evaluated tolerance development to pre-sleep ethanol's sedative-hypnotic effects, and subsequent ethanol dose escalation. Methods:Â Volunteers,...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on HMGB1/NF-κB expression and prognosis of acute spinal cord injury: A randomized clinical trial.
Although there are reports of the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in experimental settings, there are few clinical trials of HBO therapy for acute spinal cord injury (SCI). We investigated the effect of HBO in acute SCI by measuring plasma high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) levels, and by monitoring changes in electromyogram F-persistence (the percentage of discernible F-waves) and F-chronodispersion (the difference between minimal and maximal latency).
