Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Mammalian life and the bioenergetic processes that maintain cellular integrity depend on a continuous supply of oxygen to sustain aerobic metabolism. Reduced oxygen delivery and failure of cellular use of oxygen occur in various circumstances and if not recognised result in organ dysfunction...
Hyperbaric Oxygenation can repair and restore damaged brain -The Impact of Hyperbaric Medicine on Government Health Care, Disability and Education Expenditures Dr. Paul Harch Reprinted below is a Medical Bulletin of immense importance to parents and caregivers of small children with Cerebral Palsy who often use...
Abstract Recent experimental data have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) was associated increased Bcl-2 expression at the injury site that correlated with reduced apoptosis. We hypothesized that HBOT mediated enhancement of Bcl-2 expression and increased intracellular oxygen bio-availability may both contribute to preserve mitochondrial integrity...
Stem cell mobilization by hyperbaric oxygen Stephen R. Thom1,2, Veena M. Bhopale1, Omaida C. Velazquez3, Lee J. Goldstein3, Lynne H. Thom1, and Donald G. Buerk4 Abstract We hypothesized that exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) would mobilize stem/progenitor cells from the bone marrow by a nitric oxide (·NO) -dependent mechanism. The population of CD34+ cells...
