..Dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) is an avascular bone necrosis that can be seen in divers and compressed air workers. Submarine escape instructors constitute a specific group who are exposed to hyperbaric conditions with a constant profile...

..The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of such seizures in the Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Departments of two university hospitals...

..Octreotide has significant detrimental impacts upon wound healing. We tested the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may overcome octreotide-mediated suppression of wound healing...

..To assess the likelihood of such injuries, we retrospectively evaluated medical problems due to submarine escape training among military personnel...

....

..Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was suggested for the surveillance of military divers for DON. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of DON in Turkish Navy divers...

..These comparable results provide evidence for the safety of HBO treatments and/or successful adaptive mechanisms at least in the brain tissue of rats, even when administered for longer periods...

..We evaluated asymptomatic divers and controls for cerebral white-matter lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

....

..This study aimed to investigate the serum levels of PCT and other conventional infection markers in diabetic persons with and without osteomyelitis...

..To prevent misuse/overuse of HBO therapy, stand-alone HBO centers should include a multidisciplinary wound care team...

..Nevertheless, these studies were usually performed with single-session HBO exposure but its clinical use commonly depends on long-term exposure periods...

..In this study, we used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare asymptomatic divers with control subjects for PSMH...

..Little is known about the effects of HBO treatment on corneal thickness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of HBO treatment on central corneal thickness...

..785; p = 0.001), ESR (0.752; p = 0.003), and finally CRP (0.625; p = 0.137). These results suggest that PCT may be a useful diagnostic marker for DFI. Additional research is needed to better define the role of PCT in DFI...

..We investigated the validity of probe-to-bone testing in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in a selected subgroup of patients clinically suspected of having diabetic foot osteomyelitis...

..05), yet HBO therapy did not affect the hydroxyproline levels in STA or LTA groups (p > .05 for both). It is concluded that hyperbaric oxygen treatment has positive effects on colonic anastomotic healing in case of peritonitis...

..The changes in the environmental pressure are also seen during hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT)...

..We examined a possible association between mastoid pneumatization and middle ear barotrauma (MEB) in submarine escape trainees...

..In addition, HBOT acts synergistically with a number of antibiotics. This article reviews the anti-infective effects of HBOT and the use of HBOT in the treatment of certain infectious diseases...

..Additional multicenter epidemiologic studies are needed if the occupational safety of inside attendants is to be enhanced...

..Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to prevent I/R injury in different tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HBO on renal I/R injury in rats...

..Our results warrant further randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled studies to evaluate the possible role of HBO in the management of MPS...

..We present a patient who developed visual loss after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and was treated with hyperbaric oxygen...

..The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on NT-proBNP levels in diabetic patients...

..We recommend that renal functions of the patients receiving cyclosporine A should be monitored during hyperbaric oxygen therapy...

..This study evaluates the possibility of enhancing the beneficial effect of the delay procedure by using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and the possibility of lessening the time required for maximal effect of delay procedure...

..Another problem regarding HBO is the scarcity of centers administering it. Further research is required focusing on the optimal treatment protocol, the cost/benefit ratio, and the safety of HBO in chronic pain management...

..The potential utility of the phagocytic index in determining the efficacy of treatment modalities and it's relationship with metabolic control parameters were evaluated...

..DISCUSSION: Healthy subjects whose baseline IOP is in the normal range experience only a small, temporary elevation of IOP during passive exposure to high altitude with either normoxia or acute hypoxia...

..84% of the time. Similarly, the maximum odor episode frequencies for methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide were 0.98% and 0.34% of the time, respectively...

..This study was designed to evaluate the effect of adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the duration of antibiotic treatment...

..In conclusion, in this study it was observed that in experimental study of CP nephrotoxicity the synchronous application of HBO therapy with CP prevents kidney damage...

..Clinical, neurological, neuropsychological, visual outcome seems to be favourable even if HBO treatment started as late as 6 or 8 days after the exposure to CO...

..g., wound-healing problems, damage to the digital nerves and vessels, buttonholing of the skin, and tendon sheath opening, are not seen...
