Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Stroke
Abstract: Iatrogenic gas embolism is a rare but serious problem that has been documented in almost all medical specialties including gynecology. We present a 49-year-old woman undergoing operative hysteroscopy and myomectomy, who sustained sudden hypotension and...
Abstract: High socioeconomic burden is attributed to acute ischemic stroke, but treatment strategies are still limited. Normobaric (NBO) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) were frequently investigated in preclinical studies following acute focal cerebral ischemia...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) protect the brain parenchyma and the cerebral microcirculation against ischemia. We studied their effect on secondary hemorrhage after thrombolysis in two thromboembolic middle cerebral artery occlusion...
Abstract: A 64-year-old woman (151 cm, 43 kg) with well controlled hypertension was diagnosed as having right lung cancer at S8 segment. She underwent right S8 segmentectomy by video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) under general anesthesia combined with epidural...
Abstract: Strokes remain an uncommon but significant complication of cardiac surgery. Cerebral air embolism is the likely aetiology in the majority of cases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the recognised treatment for cerebral air embolism associated with compressed air...
Abstract: The diving accident is a rare incident for an emergency physician which requires special physical and patho-physiological knowledge. With increasing recreational activities and the fascination of diving also for older persons diving accidents are expected to...
Abstract: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) results in focal deprivation of blood-borne factors, one of them being oxygen. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to identify therapeutic conditions for supplemental oxygen in AIS and (2) to use transcriptome-wide...
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acute ischaemic stroke are major causes of mortality and morbidity and there is an urgent demand for new neuroprotective strategies following the translational failure of neuroprotective drug trials. Oxygen...
Abstract: Both hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and inhibition of the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) by the peptide inhibitor XG-102 (D-JNKI-1) are efficient protective strategies against ischaemia-induced neurodegeneration. The present study investigated whether the...
