Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Spinal Cord Injuries
Abstract: Divers are at risk of decompression sickness (DCS) when the ambient pressure decrease exceeds a critical threshold. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) preconditioning has been used to prevent various injuries, but the protective effect on DCS has not been well...
Abstract: Decompression sickness (DCS) occurs when bubbles form due to pressure decreases with severity ranging from trivial to fatal. Standard treatment requires a hyperbaric chamber, not likely to be available at remote sites or during a disabled submarine escape or...
Abstract: Experimental, controlled, animal study. To evaluate the effect of GM1 ganglioside, hyperbaric oxygen and both in combination, in the treatment of experimental spinal cord lesions in rats. Brazil. Thirty-two Wistar rats with spinal cord lesions were divided...
Abstract: The present study was carried out to further examine the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) on experimental spinal cord injury (SCI). Rats were divided into three major groups: (1) sham operation (laminectomy only);...
Abstract: Spinal cord injuries include original injury and secondary injury. The aim of therapy is to prevent and reduce the secondary injury. The traditional therapy can alleviate the secondary injury of spinal cord through surgery that can both relieve the pressure...
Abstract: The outcome of spinal cord decompression sickness after scuba diving is unpredictable during the 24 first hours with a high risk of incomplete recovery. The treatment is defined on first aid normobaric oxygen when neurological symptoms occur, rehydration and...
Abstract: Case report. To present an unusual type of penetrating objects causing Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) and its clinical character. Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, PR China. A...
Abstract: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex process resulting in cellular damage and death. Many studies have reported that an ischemic preconditioning could induce protection against ischemic insult. However, the safety concerns and practical...
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of ultra-early hyperbaric oxygenation on spinal edema and hind limb motor function in rats with complete spinal cord transection. Fifty-five healthy 3-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=15),...
