Arizona Legislature Approves Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment for Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury
TUCSON, Ariz., April 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veterans with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and selected post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) conditions would be eligible to participate in hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) under a bill...
Increased circulating endothelial progenitor cells and improved short-term outcomes in acute non-cardioembolic stroke after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability, and profiles of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) reflect the degree of endothelial impairment. This study tested the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) both improves the clinical short-term outcomes and increases the number of circulating EPCs and antioxidant capacity. The numbers of circulating EPCs [CD133/CD34 (%), KDR/CD34 (%)], biomarkers for oxidative stress (thiols and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances), and clinical scores (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS], Barthel index [BI],
The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Erectile Functions: A Prospective Clinical Study.
Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on erectile function in patients who had no cavernosal or urethral injury by using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. The male patients who...

Syndrome of uremic encephalopathy and bilateral basal ganglia lesions in non-diabetic hemodialysis patient: a case report.
Abstract: Uremic encephalopathy (UE), a toxic metabolic encephalopathy, is an uncommon complication resulting from endogenous uremic toxins in patients with severe renal failure. UE syndrome can range from mild inattention to coma. The imaging...
Clinical Trial – Spinal Hydromorphone Versus Morphine for Post-Cesarean Delivery Analgesia
Morphine is usually used for pain relief after cesarean delivery. However, sometimes it is
not available, the patient might be allergic to morphine or intolerant to its side effects.
Hydromorphone, another drug from the same class, might be used alternatively, but we need to
prove that it is not inferior to morphine.
The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for healing chronic venous leg ulcers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Abstract: Over 30% of venous leg ulcers do not heal despite evidence-based treatment. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as an adjunct treatment for nonhealing venous leg ulcers. A randomized,...

Synergistic effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy with PTH [1-34] on calvarial bone graft in irradiated rat.
Abstract: To determine the synergistic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) [1-34] in combination with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on bone graft in a rat calvarial bone defect model under impaired osteogenic conditions. Twenty-four rats were divided...
