Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Abstract: Perichondritis is a condition characterized by pain, swelling and purulent discharge from the external ear, which may progress to a deformity of the pinna. The presence of co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus may aggravate the situation. The main...
Abstract: Objectives. To investigate insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) levels in response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for diabetic foot ulcers and to determine whether IGF-1 is a predictive indicator of wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers....
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. We performed a retrospective observational study of all patients with diabetic foot ulcers treated at the Institution's hyperbaric chamber between...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the use of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure. Today several approved applications and indications exist for HBOT. HBOT has been successfully used as adjunctive therapy for wound healing....
Abstract: This article reviews evidence for the promotion of healing using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT is an adjuvant wound therapy that has been suggested to be beneficial for the healing of wounds for over 40 years. Current approved treatments provide...

Abstract: THIS STUDY AIMS TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY OF ANTISEPTIC DRESSINGS, HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY, AND RECOMBINANT HUMAN PLATELET DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR (RHPDGF) FOR TWO REASONS: i) to reduce the incidence of lower limb amputations in diabetic foot ulcer; ii) to...
Abstract: To examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to treat people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and non-healing ulcers. This policy appraisal systematically reviews the published literature in the above patient population,...
Abstract: Problem wounds represent a significant and growing challenge to our healthcare system. The incidence and prevalence of these wounds are increasing in the population, resulting in growing utilization of healthcare resources and dollars expended. Venous leg...
