Abstract: Oxygen is the most widely used therapeutic strategy to prevent and treat decompression sickness (DCS). Oxygen prebreathe (OPB) eliminated DCS in 20-kg swine after rapid decompression from saturation at 60 feet of seawater (fsw). However, hyperbaric oxygen...
Abstract: Some practitioners advocate hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) for sequelae following brain injury. This study assessed recruitment, tolerance and safety in preparation for a randomized clinical trial. Prospective, open-label feasibility study. Hyperbaric medicine...
Abstract: Neutrophil apoptosis is important in the resolution of inflammation in chronic wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, an intermittent inhalation of 100% oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure, appears to be an effective treatment for chronic wounds....
Abstract: Chronic skin ulcers require extensive, systemic differential diagnosis; thus, they are difficult to diagnose and treat. Transient or persistent hypercoagulable states are among the rare causes of skin ulcers. Here, we present the case of a 27-year-old woman...
Abstract: Significance: Injury to the skin provides a unique challenge, as wound healing is a complex and intricate process. Acute wounds have the potential to move from the acute wound to chronic wounds, requiring the physician to have a thorough understanding of...
Abstract: Chronic leg ulcers in patients with rheumatological diseases can cause significant morbidity. We performed a retrospective case review to describe the epidemiology, clinical features and outcome of chronic leg ulcers in this group of patients. Twenty-nine...

Abstract: A single session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) is known to act on the parasympathetic system and also increase the production of reactive oxygen species. However, the impact of a treatment series consisting of 20 to 40 sessions on blood pressure (BP)...
Abstract: This retrospective study was performed to assess the effectiveness of active immunostimulation therapy with bacterial immunotherapy (BIT) in treatment for chronic osteomyelitis (COM). We analyze 154 patients affected by COM and treated with BIT from 1995 to...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is an effective treatment for diabetic chronic wounds. HBO reduces inflammation and accelerates wound healing, by mechanisms that remain unclear. Here we examined a mechanism by which HBO may reduce neutrophil recruitment,...
