Abstract: There are relatively few effective methods to treat autonomic neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may restore cardiac neural regulation dysfunction in diabetic individuals with foot...
Abstract: The potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) have been reported in diabetic patients with foot ulcers. However, the roles of HBOT on wound healing-associated growth factors and inflammatory mediators are not completely understood in diabetes...
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulceration is common, affecting 1.0%-4.1% of diabetic persons per year and up to 25% in a lifetime. Diabetic foot ulcers are multifactorial in origin, and many are slow to heal and/or are complicated by infection, frequently leading to...
Abstract: To assess the effect of systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic diabetic lower limb lesions, non-healed after this adjunctive treatment, a retrospective controlled study was undertaken. From 1990 to 2003, 96 patients demonstrating chronic Wagner grades...
Abstract: Gray, Ratliff, , , , , , , (). Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy effective for the management of chronic wounds? Journal of wound, ostomy, and continence nursing : official publication of The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society,...
Abstract: It has long been recognized that normal healing is dependent on the oxygen gradient in the wound Hypoxia can slow or arrest the healing process and augments the risk of infection. While hypoxia triggers neoangiogenesis, normal tissue oxygen pressures are...
Abstract: Armstrong, Lavery, , , , , , , (). A retrospective study of patients with diabetes mellitus after partial foot amputation and hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The Journal of foot and ankle surgery : official publication of the American College of Foot and Ankle...
Abstract: We investigated the influences of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) on systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and blood glucose level (BGL). Forty one patients with hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), HTN and DM...
Abstract: Intrathecal midazolam acts synergically with other anesthetics to relieve surgical pain, and the drug combination may decrease complications attributable to each component drug. This prospective study was to determine the spinal effects of low-dose of...
Abstract: We review seven classification systems for foot wounds in patients with diabetes and evaluate them in a table format based on 10 criteria judged to be the most important for assessing their effectiveness. Criteria include such factors as objectivity,...
