Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Stroke
Abstract: Vaginal hysterectomy shortens surgery duration and may be performed with neuraxial block, which promotes better postoperative analgesia and lower systemic response to surgical procedure. This report aimed at describing hemodynamic changes promoted by...
Abstract: Repetitive breath-hold (BH) diving can lead to accumulation of nitrogen (N2) in blood and tissues, which may give rise to decompression illness (DCI). An unusual condition is "Taravana", the diving syndrome reported by Cross in the 1960s. That...
Abstract: The aim of the study is the evaluation through transthoracic echocardiography of the haemodynamic modifications due to unilateral subarachnoid anaesthesia with bupivacaine 0.5% given for orthopaedic surgery. In this prospective study, at the University...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy of cerebral ischemia has been evaluated in a number of human and animal studies; however, there is presently no consensus on its efficacy. We present a review of animal and human studies on HBO therapy of cerebral ischemia as...
Abstract: Cerebral vascular diseases, such as neonatal encephalopathy and focal or global cerebral ischemia, all result in reduction of blood flow to the affected regions, and cause hypoxia-ischemia, disorder of energy metabolism, activation of pathogenic cascades,...

Abstract: The timing and mechanisms of protection by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in cerebral ischemia have only been partially elucidated. We monitored the early in vivo effects of HBO after 2 h transient focal ischemia using repetitive MRI. Wistar rats underwent filament...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) after focal cerebral ischemia reduces infarct size and improves outcome when applied early after stroke. Here, we evaluated effects of HBO on permanent focal cerebral ischemia and applied magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is an attractive procedure that has been used frequently in cerebral ischemia. However, depending on the model of cerebral ischemia and HBO protocol, different and conflicting results were obtained in the past. This study was...
