Durham, NC (January 15, 2020) - Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) and Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) recently introduced the TBI and PTSD Treatment Act [House Bill 4370; Senate Bill 2504], in late 2019 to direct the Veterans Administration (VA) to furnish Hyperbaric Oxygen...
The AC133 antigen is a novel antigen selectively expressed on a subset of CD34+ cells in human fetal liver, bone marrow, and blood as demonstrated by flow cytometric analyses. In this study, we have further assessed the expression of AC133 on CD34+ cells in hemopoietic samples and found that there was a highly significant difference between normal bone marrow and cord blood versus aphereses (p <0.0001) but not between bone marrow and cord blood. Most of the clonogenic cells (67%) were contained in the CD34+AC133+ fraction. Compared with cultures of the CD34+AC133- cells, generation of progenitor cells in long-term culture on bone marrow stroma was consistently 10- to 100-fold higher in cultures initiated with CD34+AC133+ cells and was maintained for the 8-10 weeks of culture.
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Suicide among our members of the military and our veterans is now at its highest level ever, reaching an average of 24 deaths a day. Several scientific and medical studies link many of these suicides to physical brain damage suffered by combat...
Through the use of hyperbaric, oxygen-rich chambers, medical researchers have found a way to restore a significant amount of neurological function in brain tissue thought to be chronically damaged by stroke, traumatic injury, and metabolic disorder — even years after
Breakthroughs in medicine are providing a promising treatment for traumatic brain injuries, so much so that lawmakers are being asked to make it available to Oklahoma veterans.

The new MISSION Act, passed by Congress last year, could pave the way for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to be covered by the VA. In general, the act is making better healthcare more easily accessible to veterans. There are a couple of specific clauses, such as the...
The last year has seen unprecedented progress with respect to getting the DOD/VA/Army and general medicine moving forward in recognizing that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is safe, dramatically more effective, and much less expensive than all other...
