Dermagraft: Use in the Treatment of Chronic Wounds.
Abstract: Lower limb ulceration is a common problem in clinical practice. A variety of metabolic and physical causes can lead to a diversity of chronic ulcer types, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). A wide variety...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on bone healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts: a modified case control study.
Abstract: Mandibular cysts may require enucleation, resulting in large cavities compromising mandibular strength and functions. We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts....
Hyperbaric oxygen in the critically ill.
Abstract: To review aspects of hyperbaric medicine pertinent to treating critically ill patients with hyperbaric oxygen in both monoplace and multiplace chambers. Literature review of online databases, research repositories, and clinical trial...
Retinal artery occlusion: visual outcome after treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: We describe a case series of 11 patients with retinal artery occlusion treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at Intermountain Dixie Regional Medical Center between 2005 and 2009. We then combined data from our case series with...

The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in enhancing the rate of wound healing with a focus on axon regeneration
Abstract Wounds have always afflicted humanity causing pain, suffering and death, and for thousands of years humans have tested and developed various techniques for their ability to induce wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) refers to...
Effect of oxygenation on stem-cell therapy for myocardial infarction.
Abstract: Stem-cell transplantation to treat acute myocardial infarction (MI) is gaining importance as a minimally invasive and potent therapy to replace akinetic scar tissue by viable myocardium. Our recent studies have shown that stem-cell...
Wound healing in diabetes: hemorheological and microcirculatory aspects.
Abstract: Diabetes is associated with many hemorheological alterations. The decrease of RBC deformability, increase of aggregability, vasoconstriction, increase of blood viscosity and decrease of oxygen supply have a significant effect on wound...
