Clinical efficacy of edaravone for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal, neurodegenerative disease. Although the pathogenesis remains unresolved, oxidative stress is known to play a pivotal role. Edaravone works in the central nervous system as a...
Rescue vitrectomy with blocked artery massage and bloodletting for branch retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: A 61-year-old male suffered from sudden blurred vision and superior visual field defect oculus dexter. His vision was counting fingers at 20 cm. Fundoscopy demonstrated inferior pale retina and a large embolus located at the proximal...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment attenuates neuropathic pain by elevating autophagy flux via inhibiting mTOR pathway
Abstract Peripheral neuropathic pain is a complex disease, and treated based on underlying diseases. Emerging evidences suggest that hyperbaric oxygen alleviates neuropathic pain. However, its cellular and molecular mechanism on pain relief is...
Efficacy and Safety of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Used in Patients With Diabetic Foot: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.
Abstract: The efficacy and safety profile of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with diabetic foot ulcer have been controversial in recent years. Our meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of HBOT in...
Outcome and prognostic factors of patients treated in the intensive care unit for carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless and odorless gas, is one of the common causes of poisoning-related deaths worldwide. CO poisoning can result in hypoxic brain damage and death, but intensive care can improve the likely outcome for...
The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency. Various treatment modalities have been tried, but none have shown to alter natural history of the disease. Hyperoxia can restore retinal oxygenation, and favourable...
CDC Grand Rounds: Public Health Strategies to Prevent and Treat Strokes
Abstract Worldwide, stroke is the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of serious long-term disability. In the United States, nearly 800,000 strokes occur each year; thus stroke is the fifth leading cause of death overall and the...
Italian COnsensus in Neuroradiological Anesthesia (ICONA).
Abstract: Anesthetic management of patients undergoing endovascular procedures for treating intracranial aneurysms or cerebrovascular malformations must consider a number of specific challenges, in addition to those associated with anesthesia for...
Perfluorocarbon emulsions radiosensitise brain tumors in carbogen breathing mice with orthotopic GL261 gliomas.
Abstract: Tumour hypoxia limits the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Delivering normobaric or hyperbaric oxygen therapy elevates pO2 in both tumour and normal brain tissue. However, pO2 levels return to baseline within 15 minutes of stopping...
