Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Wounds.
Abstract: The crucial role of oxygen during the complex process of wound healing has been extensively described. In chronic or nonhealing wounds, much evidence has been reported indicating that a lack of oxygen is a major contributing factor. Although still...
Abstract: In the present experiment we use a rat model of traumatic brain injury to evaluate the ability of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve behavioral and neurobiological outcomes. The study employed an adaptation of the focal cortical...
Abstract: cGVHD is a major problem after allogeneic HSCT. Skin is the most frequently affected organ, and manifestations are highly variable reflecting the four anatomic levels of skin involvement. In the severe form when damage and fibrosis affects all skin layers,...
Abstract: Epidural abscesses in children are extremely rare, especially in the posterior fossa. In some cases antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage are insufficient for complete healing. We present the case of an 8-month-old boy who developed an epidural abscess in...
Abstract: Jaw osteonecrosis is, in most cases, caused by external irradiation. It is otherwise a rare occurrence. A 52-year-old patient was referred to this hospital for several tooth extractions. In the procedure follow-up, the external aspect of the mandible was...
Abstract: Contemporary management of chronic wounds focuses on improving natural healing and individualization of treatment. Incorporating multiple therapies has become increasingly common. Of interest are autologous growth factors, which are especially important in...
Abstract: Calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (CUA), also known as 'calciphylaxis', is a syndrome of ischaemic necrotic ulcers occurring in uraemic patients with end-stage renal failure. It is a debilitating condition with a high morbidity and mortality. Hyperbaric oxygen...
Abstract: One suggested treatment for chronic brain injury (CBI) is the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The present study was an evaluation of neuropsychological improvement after HBOT in CBI patients. Study 1 compared test - retest results of 21 CBI children...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has been utilized for many years for a multitude of disease entities. One commonly encountered side-effect is otic barotrauma. To determine if patients with specific disease processes are at increased risk of requiring...
