Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Used to Help Acadiana Man Recover After Traumatic Brain Injury
KFLY, Acadia, LA reporting on Lafayette resident Paul Bosworth's traumatic brain injury and his experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Bosworth shows SPECT imaging of his brain before and after the HBOT...
Efficacy of Metabolically Supported Chemotherapy Combined with Ketogenic Diet, Hyperthermia, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Stage IV Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
Abstract: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is more aggressive and metastatic than other breast cancer types. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is presently the predominant systemic therapy for TNBC patients. This case report highlights the influence of...
Do Allogeneic Blood Transfusions Cause Infection?
Abstract: Shander, Ozawa, Brower, , , , , , (2017). Do Allogeneic Blood Transfusions Cause Infection? Anesthesia and analgesia, 2017 10;125(4):1092-1094. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28922217
Refractory Ulcerated Necrobiosis Lipoidica: Closure of a Difficult Wound with Topical Tacrolimus.
Abstract: To report a case of refractory ulcerated necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) with significant response to treatment with topical tacrolimus. A 55-year-old woman without diabetes and with a previous history of NL presented to the Helen L. and...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: An alternative treatment for radiation-induced cutaneous ulcers.
Abstract: Radiotherapy is a widely recognised treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer. We report three cases of radiation-induced skin ulcers in which hyperbaric oxygen therapy was administered in 90-min sessions, 5 days a week at 2.4 absolute...
miR-491-5p inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation by targeting PKM2.
Abstract: Increasing evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are associated with tumorigenesis and the development of numerous cancer types. Previous studies have suggested miRNA-491-5p is downregulated in osteosarcoma (OS) and...
Clinical Trial – Acute Postthoracotomy Pain – Impact of Gender
Adequate analgesia in thoracic surgery is essential to prevent severe postoperative
complications, especially respiratory problems. Current knowledge about gender-related
differences in pain states generally more frequent and intense pain and more demand for
analgesics in women. Results about postsurgical pain in particular are very inconclusive.
The investigators tried to find out if gender has an influence on postthoracotomy pain and
analgesics requirement.
Successful treatment of central retinal artery occlusion using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is considered an ophthalmologic emergency. The prognosis of this disease is very poor. Currently, there is no generally effective therapy available to treat CRAO. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)...
Functional Medicine Approach to Traumatic Brain Injury.
Background: The U.S. military has seen dramatic increases in traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) among military personnel due to the nature of modern-day conflicts. Conventional TBI treatment for secondary brain injuries has suboptimal success rates, and patients, families, and healthcare professionals are increasingly turning to alternative medicine treatments. Objective: Effective treatments for the secondary injury cascades that occur after an initial brain trauma are unclear at this time. The goal of successful treatment options for secondary TBI injuries is to reduce oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and inflammation while supporting mitochondrial functions and repair of membranes, synapses, and axons.
