The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy on myocardial function

Cardiovascular Function, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy is successfully implemented for the treatment of several disorders. Data on the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on echocardiographic parameters in asymptomatic patients is limited. The current study sought to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy on echocardiographic parameters in asymptomatic patients. Thirty-one consecutive patients underwent a 60-sessions course of hyperbaric oxygenation…

Integrative Therapeutic Options for Treating Stage Four Breast Cancer

Cancer, Near Infrared (NIR)/Red Light Therapy, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy

Traditional Western medicine treats breast cancer – the most commonly occurring cancer in women with some combination of surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Few doctors’ council their patients to use complementary modalities and some forbid their use. However, complementary therapies in the form of agents or activities that minimize exposure to toxins, detoxify the body,…

The characteristics of the geroprotective action of magnetotherapy in elderly patients with combined cardiovascular pathology

Cardiovascular Function, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy

Central hemodynamics, diastolic and pumping functions of the heart, myocardial reactivity, microcirculation and biological age of cardiovascular system were studied in 66 elderly patients suffering from hypertension and ischemic heart disease. The patients received systemic magnetotherapy which produced a geroprotective effect as shown by improved microcirculation, myocardial reactivity, central hemodynamics reducing biological age of cardiovascular…

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves neurocognitive functions of post-stroke patients – a retrospective analysis

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Stroke Recovery

Previous studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve the motor functions and memory of post-stroke patients in the chronic stage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of HBOT on overall cognitive functions of post-stroke patients in the chronic stage. The nature, type and location of the stroke were…

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes neurogenesis: where do we stand?

Brain Injury/TBI, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Neurogenesis in adults, initiated by injury to the central nervous system (CNS) presents an autologous repair mechanism. It has been suggested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) enhances neurogenesis which accordingly may improve functional outcome after CNS injury. In this present article we aim to review experimental as well as clinical studies on the subject of…
