Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Abstract: Common to all studies of wound healing modalities is the need to convert the chronic wound into an acute wound and to maintain the wound in an acute state while subsequently using adjunctive therapy. Hence, precise control and documentation of wound care is...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) in combination with thrombolysis has been demonstrated to salvage myocardium in acute myocardial infarction in the animal model. Therefore a randomized pilot trial was undertaken to assess the safety and feasibility of this...
Abstract: Rats were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO = 100% oxygen; 2.5 atmospheres absolute pressure) for 6 h. Isovolumic left heart preparations from these animals were subjected to global low flow-ischemia (perfusion rate from 12 ml/min to 2 ml/min for 40 min) and...
Abstract: In these experiments rats were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (100% oxygen; 2.5 atmospheres absolute pressure) for 1, 3 or 6 h. At the end of these periods the hearts were removed and subjected to low flow ischemia (perfusion rate from 12 ml/min to 2 ml/min...
Abstract: A case of gaseous gangrene by Clostridium septicum associated with colorectal cancer is presented. The patient evolved rapidly towards septic shock and death. Autopsy showed occult neoplasm and pelvic and retroperitoneal myonecrosis. An exceptional finding...

Abstract: Carbon monoxide intoxication usually disturbs the normal human biochemical respiratory chain cascade from which high affinity of carboxyhemoglobin to oxygen causes ischemic insult to the human tissues and cells. Ubiquitous injuries to human cells have...
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on humans are uncertain. Our study aims first to outline the practical aspects and the safety of HBO treatment and then to evaluate the effect of HBO on long-term disability. Patients who experienced middle...
Abstract: Patients with hereditary generalized neuromuscular diseases develop respiratory failure and decreased maximal inspiratory pressure (Pi max) due to both, involvement of respiratory muscles in the disease and secondary spine- and thorax-deformity. In recent...
