Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Different oxygen treatment pressures alter inflammatory gene expression in human endothelial cells.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen has proven to be a useful treatment for chronic wounds. However, therapeutic conditions vary between treatment centers, and we wished to investigate the effects of different treatment pressures on cells under inflammatory conditions....
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as adjunctive treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been suggested to improve healing of hard-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers. Although the wide use of HBOT as a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers has been founded on weak scientific ground, 2 well-designed randomized,...
Comments on Margolis et al. Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation.
Abstract: Löndahl, Katzman, , , , , , , (2015). Comments on Margolis et al. Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation. International wound journal, 2015...
A prospective, randomized, controlled study of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: effects on healing and oxidative stress of ulcer tissue in patients with a diabetic foot ulcer.
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been reported to help heal chronic foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), production of HBO-related oxidative stress is a concern. To assess the therapeutic effect and oxidative stress of HBO, a...
Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation: a cohort study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is a device that is used to treat foot ulcers. The study goal was to compare the effectiveness of HBO with other conventional therapies administered in a wound care network for the treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer and prevention of...
The implications of the presence of osteomyelitis on outcomes of infected diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: To assess the effect of the presence of osteomyelitis in patients with a diabetic foot infection. We reviewed the records of diabetic patients hospitalized at our medical center for a foot infection over a 2-y period. Using clinical, imaging, and...
Adjunct methods of the standard diabetic foot ulceration therapy.
Abstract: The outcome of management of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is poor and insufficient. DFU therapy includes the standard management as debridement of the wound, revascularization procedures, off-loading of the ulcer and antibacterial actions, and...
Effects of alpha lipoic acid and its R+ enantiomer supplemented to hyperbaric oxygen therapy on interleukin-6, TNF-α and EGF production in chronic leg wound healing.
Abstract: Lipoic acid (LA) and hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) improve chronic wound healing. We compared the effects of LA or its enantiomer R-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) on wound healing. Groups LA + HBOT (L), RLA + HBOT (R) and placebo + HBOT (P). Lesion areas...
