Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Spinal Cord Injuries
Abstract: The spinal cord is one of the most commonly affected sites in decompression sickness (DCS). Alternative methods have long been sought to protect against DCS spinal cord dysfunction, especially when hyperbaric treatment is unavailable. Use of perfluorocarbon...
Abstract The pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) involves primary and secondary mechanisms of injury. Though both mechanisms are involved in the neurological dysfunction in SCI most research however has focused on understanding the pathophysiology of the...
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment following spinal cord injury (SCI) have been studied in terms of neurological function and tissue histology, there is a limited number studies on spinal cord tissue enzyme levels. The effect of HBO treatment in SCI...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO₂P + HAE) has been found to be beneficial in preventing the occurrence of ischemic damage to brain, spinal cord, heart, and liver in several disease models. In addition, pulmonary inflammation and edema are associated...
Abstract: Small case series of patients with cervical spondylotic amyotrophy (CSA) managed by conservative treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. To study the effects of conservative treatment with HBO therapy of CSA patients. Department of Orthopaedic...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is considered an adjunctive treatment to medical and surgical care. We present a unique case in which a male patient with decompression illness affecting inner ear and spinal cord presented a worsened unilateral hydrocele synchronously with...
Abstract: This study aims to determine the potential risk factors associated with the development of severe diving-related spinal cord decompression sickness (DCS). Two hundred and seventy nine injured recreational divers (42 ± 12 years; 53 women) presenting symptoms...
Abstract: Review the mechanisms of action and clinical application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) based on human and veterinary clinical and experimental literature. Pubmed and Veterinary Information Network databases were searched for human and veterinary...
Abstract: We undertook this study to investigate the possible beneficial effects of combined hypothermia and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment in comparison with methylprednisolone in experimental spinal cord injury (SCI). Forty eight male Wistar albino rats (200-250...
