Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD.
The diabetic foot: evolving technologies.
Abstract: Diabetic malperforans ulcers are extremely challenging problems, and their treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. The wound management technique is based on the depth of ulceration; necrosis and infection should be aggressively managed. Wound...
Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygenation in atopic dermatitis.
Abstract: Ten patients (5 with atopic dermatitis and 5 with asthma-prurigo) aged 8-38 years, were treated with hyperbarie oxygenation, at the Institute of Maritime and Tropical Medicine. Daily one exposure was applied at 0.1 MPa pure oxygen, during 15 days. Parallelly...
Accuracy of oxyhemoglobin saturation monitors during simulated altitude exposure of men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at risk for hypoxemia during air travel. We assessed the comparative performance of oxyhemoglobin saturation (%O2Hb) monitors on these patients during hypobaric exposure. We measured %O2Hb by...
[Barotraumatic cerebral air embolism following scuba diving].
Abstract: The authors report a case of barotraumatic cerebral air embolism following scuba diving, in which air embolism was diagnosed by CT. This kind of disorder becomes more frequent with the greater popularity of scuba diving. A healthy 24-year old woman made a...
Genetic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Patients with several diseases have been examined for detection of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood cells after 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at 0.15-0.20 MPa for 40 min. The present study reveals that HBO increases the level of chromosome...
[Cytogenetic effects of hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: This paper presents cytogenetic data obtained from peripheral blood of patients who were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) at 0.15-0.2 MPa for 40 min daily during 10 days. The patients showed a significant increase of chromosome aberrations mainly...
[The results of the combined treatment of patients with dust-induced bronchitis].
Abstract: A study in 84 patients with dust-induced bronchitis receiving combined drug treatment, hyperbaric oxygenation, hypobarotherapy and artificial speleotherapy indicates that the first place by its efficacy is occupied by artificial speleotherapy resulting in an...
Barotrauma and air embolism in hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: A 69-year-old woman underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy because of a nonhealing ulcer of her foot. During decompression, she developed a left-sided hemiplegia and confusion. Recompression resulted in transient neurologic improvement, but she eventually...
