Abstract: Testosterone has a modulating effect on inflammatory and healing processes. In this study, we evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HOT) modifies the blood concentration of total testosterone (TT) in patients treated for different pathologies....
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes not only hyperglycemia but oxidative stress, resulting mainly enhanced production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments are applied various diseases including diabetic patients with...
This trial aims to evaluate if hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) given postoperatively is
effective in reducing healing time and wound complications after lower extremity bypass
surgery in patients with diabetes.
Hypothesis: Postoperative HBO treatment is effective in reducing complications in patients
with diabetes undergoing peripheral vascular surgery
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves inhalation of 100% oxygen at supra-atmospheric ambient pressure. HBOT is used as either a primary or adjunctive treatment in the management of infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, diabetic foot...
Abstract: Subtalar arthrodesis was performed on a 48-year-old, non-insulin-dependent diabetic with a history of chronic ankle instability and lateral ankle pain. In the early post-operative period he presented as an emergency with an infection at the operative site....
Abstract: Creation of an hyperbaric medical center in Geneva allows development of elective indications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Physiologics effects of hyperbaric oxygen are well known, but credibles clinicals trials lacks. Frequents indications such as diabetic...
Abstract: The main pathological condition in patients with impaired wound healing is diabetes mellitus. These patients have significantly low circulating nitric oxide (NO) levels because the stimulatory action of insulin on NO synthesis is absent. Additionally,...
Abstract: To elucidate how diabetic patients with limb-threatening foot lesions perceive and evaluate content and organisation of treatment in a multi-place hyperbaric oxygen chamber. To our knowledge there are no patients' evaluations of diabetes care in a...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if hyperbaric oxygen therapy heels more foot ulcers
as compared to placebo in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic foot ulcers.
