Observational study of children with autism who have participated in hyperbaric oxgen therapy
… increase, so does the need for research.</p> <p>Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one alternative treatment parents are seeking for their child with autism. When one looks at the science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the physical condition of a child with autism the rationale behind the …

The effect of stimulus threat on experimentally induced secondary hyperalgesia
… 7 – 10% of people and responds poorly to pharmacotherapy. Numbers needed to treat for first line drugs range from 4 – 8. Therefore, there is an obvious need for improved understanding of the mechanisms of neuropathic pain to inform improved treatments. Mechanistic research on neuropathic pain …

The evidence basis of diving and hyperbaric medicine - a synthesis of the high level clinical evidence with meta-analysis
Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the administration of 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere. One recurrent criticism that has been made of this field is that treatment is based on little or no good clinical evidence. Aims: The primary objective of this thesis is to …

Laser-processed parchment paper for fabrication of chronic wound dressings with selective oxygenation
… A major inhibitor of healing is suboptimal oxygenation of the wound bed. Unlike acute injuries that receive sufficient oxygen via a functional blood vessel network, chronic wounds often suffer from the lack of a proper vascular network; thus being incapable of providing sufficient oxygen for …

Natural History of Human Papillomavirus Infections and Other Sexually Transmitted Infections in Rwanda-Immunological Aspects of the Uterine Cervix
… cervical cancer is often treated with radiotherapy. In an animal model for radiation cervicitis, we wanted to assess how the normal uterine cervix responds to ionization radiation and whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may reverse these responses. Methods: Women were interviewed, …

The Effects of Altered Partial Pressures of Gas on Cognitive and Neural Function
Oxygen is central to neural function, yet the precise mechanisms and effects by which varying <br/>oxygen levels, whether through Hypoxia, Hyperoxia, or Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), <br/>shape cognition and brain activity remain incomplete. This thesis adopts a novel, multi-modal …

An exploration of work environment adaptive mechanisms used by women living with HIV/AIDS in Gaborone-Botswana
… years or older were more likely to use ice/cold therapy, compression garments, active recovery, and carbohydrates. A BMI of 18.5-24.9 was predictive of the use of compression garments, passive recovery, and protein. Monthly income of more than R50 000 was a predictor for the use of stretching. …

An investigation into the molecular mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen using a human dermal microvascular endothelial cell line and a porcine retinal explant model.
… (DR) and impaired wound healing in diabetes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) which involves breathing ≥ 95% oxygen at elevated pressures. It is used for the treatment of recalcitrant ulcers in diabetes. However, the exact molecular mechanism is …
