Abstract: A 78 year old man with tetraparesis, reduced forced vital capacity, and neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to Guillain-Barré syndrome was admitted for elective transurethral prostate resection and percutaneous lithotripsy of a bladder stone. On the sixth...
Peripheral Neuropathy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
Neurologic presentations of nutritional deficiencies
Abstract Optimal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system is dependent on a constant supply of appropriate nutrients. The first section of this review discusses neurologic manifestations related to deficiency of key nutrients such as vitamin B(12),...
Chronic regional pain syndrome after subtalar arthrodesis is not prevented by early hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Subtalar arthrodesis was performed on a 48-year-old, non-insulin-dependent diabetic with a history of chronic ankle instability and lateral ankle pain. In the early post-operative period he presented as an emergency with an infection at the operative site....
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment decreases pain in two nerve injury models.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been used clinically to treat a variety of ailments, including severe burns and carbon monoxide poisoning, and in research settings has produced promising results when used to treat animal models of inflammatory pain....
Evaluation of the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field in the management of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy
Abstract Aim: The study was carried out to evaluate and compare the effect of low power, low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) of 600 and 800 Hz, respectively, in management of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy. Settings and designs: The study was a...
Human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells in combination with hyperbaric oxygen augment peripheral nerve regeneration.
Abstract: Attenuation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and associated inflammatory cell deposits rescues human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (AFS) from apoptosis. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) suppressed stimulus-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production in...
Early complications following haematopoietic SCT in children.
Abstract: Early complications can be defined as those occurring within 100 days after transplant. Both epithelial and endothelial damage represent the pathogenetic basis for the onset of the most frequent complications. Clinical features related to endothelial damage...
Relationship between autonomic neuropathy and hypertension–are we underestimating the problem?
Abstract: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in diabetes and the risk is even greater in those with hypertension. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between CAN and 24-h blood pressure...
[Radiation myelopathy and plexopathy].
Abstract: Radiation myelopathy (RM) is a relatively rare disorder characterized by white matter lesions of the spinal cord resulting from irradiation. It is divided into two forms by the latent periods: transient RM and delayed RM. The delayed RM develops usually...
