A Novel Approach to Estimate ROS Origination by Hyperbaric Oxygen Exposure, Targeted Probes and Specific Inhibitors.
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered fundamental in various physiological/pathophysiological processes and prevention/treatment measures such as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. In this study, the origination of ROS in human umbilical vein...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Liver Diseases.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an efficient therapeutic option to improve progress of lots of diseases especially hypoxia-related injuries, and has been clinically established as a wide-used therapy for patients with carbon monoxide poisoning,...
Viable placental allograft as a biological dressing in the clinical management of full-thickness thermal occupational burns: Two case reports.
Abstract: Occupational burn injuries can be detrimental and difficult to manage. The majority of complex cases are referred and managed at regional burn centers where access to specialized care is available. As an alternative to hospitalization with staged surgical...
Venous air embolism: ultrasonographic diagnosis and treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: A man with neuromuscular respiratory failure requiring intubation and ventilation suffered a venous air embolism during inadvertent administration of 5 ml of air. Ultrasound (US) imaging confirmed an air embolus in the left subclavian vein, which was only...

Proliferative retinopathy during hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: A 43-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus, treated with insulin for 28 years and with an HbA1c of 7.9% six months prior, suffered from bilateral plantar ulcers refractory to specialised wound care. He underwent a planned 40 sessions of hyperbaric...
Severe pulmonary edema following hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute carbon monoxide poisoning: a case report and clinical experience.
Abstract: Pulmonary edema following hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy is a rare clinical phenomenon. This case report describes such a patient - a 56-year-old woman who suffered from severe pulmonary edema after HBO₂ therapy for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Patient...
Use of indocyanine green fluorescent angiography in a hyperbaric patient with soft tissue radiation necrosis: a case report.
Abstract: Indocyanine green fluorescent angiography (ICFA), commonly used to assess vascularity in patients with non-healing lower extremity wounds, is emerging as a useful adjunct for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂)therapy patients. We describe the use of ICFA to measure...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on pilonidal disease surgery.
Abstract: Surgical excision and lay-open is a well-known technique for the treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal disease, which impairs a patient's quality of life considerably since wound healing takes a substantial amount of time. It is known that with this method...
