HBOT in children with chronic brain injury
For brain injury there is a strong sense that conventional treatment has had little impact on outcome. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be a life-altering event for a child, causing temporary or permanent cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments. Accurately...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Environment Can Enhance Brain Activity and Multitasking Performance
Our brain, despite being just a small part of our body, needs a lot of oxygen—about 20% of what we breathe. To work well, it uses a tricky system to send more oxygen to different parts when we do different things. But when there's not enough oxygen, our brain...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Molecular Perspective
HBOT is a treatment where patients breathe pure oxygen under high pressure. It's used for conditions like diabetic ulcers and carbon monoxide poisoning. It's known to help grow new blood vessels and protect cells from stress, which could make it useful for different...
The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment for Inflammation
In the world of medicine, understanding inflammation is crucial. It can happen for various reasons like infections, injuries, or allergies. Inflammation can affect different parts of the body, leading to various conditions. One often overlooked source of inflammation...
Injured Veterans, others say oxygen treatments restorative
The prevalence of TBIs among veterans is alarming, primarily due to daily exposure to roadside bombs during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. These TBIs range from mild concussions to severe open head wounds, resulting in a range of symptoms including headaches,...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Lifesaving Treatment for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Decompression Sickness
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a remarkable medical treatment with the capacity to address various conditions associated with oxygen-starved tissues. This therapy involves exposing individuals to pure oxygen within a pressurized chamber, elevating the...
Mild Hyperbaric Therapy for Infertility
Infertility can be a challenging journey for those trying to start a family, involving various treatments and emotional ups and downs. Recently, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has gained attention for its potential to improve fertility in both women and men. In...
Effects of Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Oxygen Saturation Levels
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves exposing patients to increased atmospheric pressure while they breathe pure oxygen. This therapy is believed to enhance oxygen delivery to the body's tissues, potentially accelerating healing...
The Power of Oxygen: Unlocking Healing Potential with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
In our ever-advancing society, we've transitioned from being "free breathers" to recognizing that there are costs associated with the air we breathe. These costs extend beyond our wallets; they affect our health, our healthcare systems, and our planet's fragile...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Shows Promise in Alzheimer’s Treatment
Dr. Paul Harch, Clinical Professor and Director of Hyperbaric Medicine at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, along with Dr. Edward Fogarty, Chairman of Radiology at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine, have reported the first-ever documented case...
Exploring the Healing Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Veterans and Oklahomans
State Representative Jay Steagall, who leads the House and Senate Veterans Caucus, initiated a study at the state Capitol to investigate how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) could improve the lives of veterans and other Oklahomans. This study revealed the potential...
Unlocking the Potential of Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Diseases
Oxygen is the lifeblood of our cells, and its supply plays a pivotal role in energy production and overall health. While oxygen primarily travels through our bloodstream bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells, a portion of it dissolves directly in blood plasma. The...
