Pitfalls of Intralesional Ozone Injection in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Case Study.
Abstract: Although the history of ozone therapy dates back to the 19th century, its use has shown a rapid growth of interest in recent decades. Intralesional ozone injection is seldom performed and its safety has not yet been reliably assessed for the treatment of...

Impact of hyperbaric oxygen on diabetic ulcers is unaffected by glycemic control.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is an established intervention for treating chronic diabetic lower extremity ulcers, but the impact of glycemic control on its efficacy has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of blood...
Glycosylated hemoglobin and hyperbaric oxygen coverage denials.
Abstract: Some Medicaid and Medicare fiscal intermediaries are denying hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients if the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 7.0%. We performed multiple PubMed searches for any diabetic wound healing clinical...
A clinical practice guideline for the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: The role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) has been examined in the medical literature for decades. There are more systematic reviews of the HBO2/DFU literature than there have been randomized controlled trials...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the risk of QTc interval prolongation in patients with diabetes and hard-to-heal foot ulcers.
Abstract: Heart rate corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation is a risk factor associated with increased mortality. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has previously been shown to have acute beneficial effects on QTc dispersion. The aim of this study was to evaluate...
