Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Alternative MedicineJuly 17, 2007Written by Edward Lopez1,068 views
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment where 100% pure oxygen is administrated at greater than normal pressure in order to treat specific medical conditions. Long established as the primary therapy in treating medical disorders such as carbon monoxide poisoning and gas gangrene, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is increasingly being used on an adjunctive basis in the management of variety of disorders refractory to standard medical and surgical care.
BENEFITS:
Oxygen is essential to any healing process. Through HBOT, the concentration of the oxygen dissolved in the bloodstream is thus raised many times above normal (up to 2000%). Because of this high concentration of oxygen, HBOT is used to accelerate the healing process after plastic surgery, wound care, burn victims and many neurologic, orthopedic as well as emergency conditions and degenerative diseases. In addition to the blood, all body fluids including the lymph and cerebral-spinal fluids are infused with healing benefits of this molecular oxygen. It can reach bone and tissue wich are not accessible to the red blood cells, enhance white blood cell function and promote the formation of new capillary and peripheral blood vessels.
COSMETIC AND SURGICAL PROCEDURES:
HBOT is generally used as an adjunctive but effective recovery therapy in cosmetic related treatments. HBOT is highly recommended after any type of cosmetic or surgical procedure. Saturated levels of 100% oxygen in bloodstream as well as body fluids, accelerates the formation of new capillary and peripheral blood vessels. This results in an effective and accelerated post-operative healing with better aesthetic results. Post-operative recovery in conjunction with HBOT may be in days rather than weeks with less tissue trauma and a remarkable reduction of swelling and bruising with a substantial control of possible infections.

Respiratory Infections and Pollution Effects - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Abstract Respiratory infections are becoming increasingly common, and one of the major contributing factors is the rise in air pollution. Polluted air contains harmful particles, chemicals, and toxins that weaken the lungs and reduce the body’s natural defense mechanisms. As air quality worsens in cities, people of all age groups are experiencing more frequent coughing, breathing difficulties, allergies, and long-term respiratory diseases.

Why Barometric Pressure Triggers Headaches - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Many people notice that their headaches or migraines worsen when the weather changes. One of the most common culprits is barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure. This pressure refers to the weight of the air around us, and even small shifts can affect sensitive individuals, often leading to headaches, sinus pressure, or migraines. What Happens When Barometric Pressure Drops? A drop in barometric pressure is common before storms, rainfall, or sudden weather c

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n

Research on Regulating cAMP Pathway to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The world's chronic disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is among the most incredibly morbid and mortal. A relatively common, preventable and curable condition, COPD most often reflects itself in chronic breathing problems and airway obstruction. Its cause is elusive and not well understood. The most important pathological processes involve oxidative stress, protease dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction and airway inflammation. Drug and oxygen treatment ar
