Cohort study: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy not effective for diabetic foot ulcers and the prevention of amputation
Source: Diabetes Care
Area: News
A cohort study has found that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) did not improve wound healing or prevent lower extremity amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulceration
The researchers studied 6,259 individuals representing 767,060 person-days of wound care. In propensity score-adjusted models, individuals receiving HBO were less likely to have healing of their foot ulcer (hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.73) and more likely to have an amputation (2.37 [1.84-3.04]) than those patients who did not receive HBO.
The authors concluded that the usefulness of H...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Has Significantly Resuscitated Activity In Damaged Brains
Stroke, traumatic injury, and metabolic disorder are major causes of brain damage and permanent disabilities, including motor dysfunction, psychological disorders, memory loss, and more. Current therapy and rehab programs aim to help patients heal, but they often have limited success. Now Dr. Shai Efrati of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine has found a way to restore a significant amount of neurological function in brain tissue thought to be chronically damaged - even years after initial injury. Theorizing that high levels of oxygen could reinvigorate dormant neurons, Dr... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
