Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Stroke
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO2P) on ischemic metabolites and the glutamate level after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). HBO2P was administered: five treatments, one treatment per day. The...
Abstract: After promising results in experimental stroke, normobaric (NBO) or hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) have recently been discussed as co-medication with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for improving outcome. This study assessed the interactions of hyperoxia...
Abstract: This is an editorial for the inauguration of the Medical Gas Research and addresses a particular issue of using hyperbaric oxygen for stroke treatment. Toole, , , , , , , , (2011). Hyperbaric oxygen for stroke treatment. Medical gas research, 2011...
Abstract: A 70-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of intermittent dysphasia and right facial droop. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were obtained, and the patient was found to have meningeal...
Abstract: Oxygen is vital to maintain the normal functions of almost all the organs, especially for brain which is one of the heaviest oxygen consumers in the body. The important roles of oxygen on the brain are not only reflected in the development, but also showed...
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of administration of hyperbaric oxygenation(HBO) when initiated at different time after acute transient ischemia. Apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra was further investigated to search for the possible mechanism. The male SD rats were...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) allows brain protection against transient global ischemia. In the present study, we hypothesize that the mechanism of HBO-PC involves the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cerebral tissues before ischemia,...

Abstract: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody, which neutralizes the effect of vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) allowing regression of tumour vessels and a decrease in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Already used in oncology as adjuvant...
