Traumatic Injury and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Chamber : www.balancedhealthtoday.com Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy TBI : www.balancedhealthtoday.com Immediately after a brain injury, brain cells can be inactivated temporarily by local, injury related sequelae such as ischemia and edema which are thought to compromise local perfusion.5 This observation forms part of the rationale for the use of HBOT, which increases blood flow to the damaged areas of the brain, as documented by serial Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography(SPECT) scans and other techniques. In some experimental models of acute cerebral ischemia and acute carbon monoxide poisoning, HBOT prevents cell death.70 The mechanism is unclear. Even if redistribution of cerebral blood flow is a factor, the effects of oxygen on the cellular and inflammatory response to injury may be more important.70 Recently, for example, in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia, HBOT reduced brain leukocyte myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, which is produced by white blood cells (polymorphonuclear neutrophils) and is a marker of the degree of inflammation. Rats randomized to HBOT had reduced infarct size and improved neurological outcomes compared with untreated rats, and the degree of neurologic damage was highly correlated with the level of MPO activity.75 In a separate model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation, the same investigators found that dogs treated with HBOT had better neurological outcomes and, histologically, fewer dying neurons than dogs treated …

TV9 LADIES CLUB – DIABETIC FOOD ULCERS SYMPTOMS,CURE & TREATMENT
TV9 LADIES CLUB – DIABETIC FOOD ULCERS SYMPTOMS,CURE & TREATMENT…………..! Diabetic Foot Ulcers : Diabetic Foot Ulcers * Diabetics are prone to foot ulcerations due to both neurologic and vascular complications. * Peripheral neuropathy can cause altered or complete loss of sensation in the foot and /or leg. Similar to the feeling of a “fat lip” after a dentist’s anesthetic injection, the diabetic with advanced neuropathy looses all sharp-dull discrimination. Any cuts or trauma to the foot can go completely unnoticed for days or weeks in a patient with neuropathy. It’s not uncommon to have a patient with neuropathy tell you that the ulcer “just appeared” when, in fact, the ulcer has been present for quite some time. There is no known cure for neuropathy, but strict glucose control has been shown to slow the progression of the neuropathy. * Charcot foot deformity occurs as a result of decreased sensation. People with “normal” feeling in their feet automatically determine when too much pressure is being placed on an area of the foot. Once identified, our bodies instinctively shift position to relieve this stress. A patient with advanced neuropathy looses this important mechanism. As a result, tissue ischemia and necrosis may occur leading to plantar ulcerations. Microfractures in the bones of the foot go unnoticed and untreated, resulting in disfigurement, chronic swelling and additional bony prominences. * Microvascular disease is a significant problem for diabetics …
