Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Diabetes.
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...
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...
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...
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...
