motor blockade of the two study drugs intrathecally with low dose bupivacaine The secondary
objectives of the study are to observe hemodynamics, side effects profile, and duration of

Clinical Trial – Acute Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) Treatment Increases Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity and Muscle Reactive Oxygen Species in Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance of liver and skeletal
muscle, which is at least partly due to impaired muscle mitochondrial function. Long-term HBO
therapy, as applied for treating the diabetic foot syndrome, has been shown to improve blood
glucose concentrations. To study the underlying mechanisms, we want to examin the short-term
effect of HBO treatment on insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial oxidative capacity and
production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a randomized, double blinded,
placebo-controlled cross-over trial.
What is Crohn’s Disesase?
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. Inflammation caused by Crohn’s disease can involve different areas of the digestive tract in different people.
The inflammation caused by Crohn’s disease often spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissue. Crohn’s disease can be both painful and debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life-threatening complications.
While there’s no known cure for Crohn’s disease, therapies can greatly reduce its signs and symptoms and even bring about long-term remission. With treatment, many people with Crohn’s disease are able to function well.
