Oxygen, a Key Factor Regulating Cell Behavior during Neurogenesis and Cerebral Diseases.
Abstract: Oxygen is vital to maintain the normal functions of almost all the organs, especially for brain which is one of the heaviest oxygen consumers in the body. The important roles of oxygen on the brain are not only reflected in the development, but also showed...Integrated brain restoration after ischemic stroke–medical management, risk factors, nutrients, and other interventions for managing inflammation and enhancing brain plasticity.
Abstract: Brain injury from ischemic stroke can be devastating, but full brain restoration is feasible. Time until treatment is critical; rapid rate of injury progression, logistical and personnel constraints on neurological and cardiovascular assessment, limitations...Hyperbaric oxygenation enhances transplanted cell graft and functional recovery in the infarct heart.
Abstract: A major limitation to the application of stem-cell therapy to repair ischemic heart damage is the low survival of transplanted cells in the heart, possibly due to poor oxygenation. We hypothesized that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) can be used as an adjuvant...Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Chronic Stable Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to discover the feasibility of conducting clinical research in
individuals with chronic sequelae following brain injury who are given hyperbaric oxygen.
This study will also look at the outcome of individuals with a chronic stable brain injury
due to trauma, anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), or stroke, who are given hyperbaric
oxygen. Outcome measures testing cognitive (memory, etc.) and functional (balance, strength,
etc.) measures will be performed before the hyperbaric sessions, immediately following them,
and 6 months later. The subject will receive 60 hyperbaric sessions, 60 minutes in the
chamber, to a pressure of 1.5 ATA, once daily, Monday through Friday.
