Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Burns.
Abstract: Smoke-induced lung injury in rats was assessed in terms of histopathology, gross mortality, neutrophil accumulation and as capillary leak. Administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), 2.8 atm abs for 45 min, inhibited adhesion of circulating neutrophils...
Abstract: There have been over 30 incidents of oxygen resuscitator fires over the last 6 years, causing severe burns to a number of fire fighters, emergency medical service personnel, health care workers, and patients. The National Institute for Occupational Safety...
Abstract: Late effects that develop in normal tissues adjacent to the tumor site in the months to years after radiotherapy can reduce the quality of life of cancer survivors. They can be dose-limiting and debilitating or life-threatening. There is now evidence that...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, 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 demonstrated. It is appropriate...
Abstract: Calciphylaxis, also referred to as calcific uraemic arteriolopathy, is a syndrome associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and causes necrotic skin ulcers, often leading to a fatal outcome. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy has been used to enhance...
Abstract: Many reports showed that level of soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) in sera was obviously increased in burn patients, while plasma fibronectin (Fn) was markedly decreased, and they had close relation with the occurrence and development of burn...
Abstract: An 11-year-old boy in good general health conditions suffered deep frostbite on six fingers while he was working without gloves as a beater during a hunt in Poland at an outdoor temperature of -32 degrees C over a 4 h-period. Three days later he was first...
Abstract: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on axonal outgrowth in grafts of sciatic nerves in 40 rats. The sciatic nerve was transsected and a 10 mm long segment from the opposite side was immediately sutured in as a nerve graft. Postoperatively 17...
Abstract: Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) is a relatively new modality in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome. The purpose of this study was to examine our experience with inhaled NO in 10 adult patients with burn injuries and acute respiratory distress...
