Abstract: Cerebral contusions are one the most frequent traumatic lesions and the most common indication for secondary surgical decompression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiology of perilesional secondary brain damage and evaluate the value of...
Brain Damage
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Brain Damage.
Reliability of the NeuroTrend sensor system under hyperbaric conditions.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to investigate the reliability of the multi-parameter sensor NeuroTrend in a hyperbaric environment for up to 3bar absolute pressure. Measurement of brain tissue oxygenation (ptiO2) under hyperbaric conditions is supposed to...
Post concussion syndrome
Abstract Individuals sustaining mild traumatic brain injuries often report a constellation of physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral symptoms referred to as post concussion symptoms (PCS). The most commonly reported post concussion symptoms are headache,...
A review of the scientific evidence on the treatment of traumatic brain injuries and strokes with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: This review sought to determine the strength of the scientific evidence relating to the therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygen for traumatic brain injury or stroke. In order to reduce the possibility of omitting relevant human clinical trials, parallel...

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on postural stability and gait of a brain injured patient: single case study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been found to reduce intracranial and cerebrospinal fluid pressures, and increase grey matter metabolic activity in patients with brain injuries. To date, few studies have quantitatively assessed the changes in the...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a case of post-total body irradiation colitis.
Abstract: We report a 21-year-old man who experienced symptoms of colitis following autologous TBI-conditioned PBSC transplantation, which persisted despite conventional treatment. Abdominal echography showed a thickened, stratified wall of the cecum, of the right...
Three dimensional image reconstruction of neuroanatomical structures: methods for isolation of the cortex, ventricular system, hippocampus, and fornix.
Abstract: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging allows volumetric quantification of a variety of neuroanatomical structures using two dimensional (2D) images as well as three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the brain and any of its constituent parts. Three-dimensional...
[Clinical analysis of diffuse axonal injury].
Abstract: Sixty cases of diffuse axonal injury were analysed in this paper. All cases were caused by traffic accident; the mortality was 53.12%. Clinical manifestations were post-traumatic immediate and continuous coma with severe dysfunction of brain stem. MRI is...
