Abstract: Löndahl, Katzman, , , , , , , (2015). Comments on Margolis et al. Lack of effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer and the prevention of amputation. International wound journal, 2015...
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has been reported to help heal chronic foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), production of HBO-related oxidative stress is a concern. To assess the therapeutic effect and oxidative stress of HBO, a...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is a device that is used to treat foot ulcers. The study goal was to compare the effectiveness of HBO with other conventional therapies administered in a wound care network for the treatment of a diabetic foot ulcer and prevention of...
Abstract: To assess the effect of the presence of osteomyelitis in patients with a diabetic foot infection. We reviewed the records of diabetic patients hospitalized at our medical center for a foot infection over a 2-y period. Using clinical, imaging, and...
Abstract: The outcome of management of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) is poor and insufficient. DFU therapy includes the standard management as debridement of the wound, revascularization procedures, off-loading of the ulcer and antibacterial actions, and...
Abstract: Lipoic acid (LA) and hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) improve chronic wound healing. We compared the effects of LA or its enantiomer R-(+)-lipoic acid (RLA) on wound healing. Groups LA + HBOT (L), RLA + HBOT (R) and placebo + HBOT (P). Lesion areas...
Abstract: Perichondritis is a condition characterized by pain, swelling and purulent discharge from the external ear, which may progress to a deformity of the pinna. The presence of co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus may aggravate the situation. The main...
Abstract: Objectives. To investigate insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) levels in response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for diabetic foot ulcers and to determine whether IGF-1 is a predictive indicator of wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers....
Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. We performed a retrospective observational study of all patients with diabetic foot ulcers treated at the Institution's hyperbaric chamber between...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the use of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure. Today several approved applications and indications exist for HBOT. HBOT has been successfully used as adjunctive therapy for wound healing....
