ABSTRACTBackground: In general, capsular contracture is the underlying cause of complications such as pain, stiff ening, breast asymmetry, and animation deformity that are seen in the late postoperative period due to the use of silicone breast prostheses. Considering the positive effects of HBO therapy on wound healing,the objective of this study was to investigate the …
Introduction: Aging is characterized by the progressive loss of physiological capacity. At the cellular level, two keyhallmarks of the aging process include telomere length (TL) shortening and cellular senescence. Repeatedintermittent hyperoxic exposures, using certain hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) protocols, can induceregenerative effects which normally occur during hypoxia. The aim of the current study was to …
AbstractBackground: Transplanted hair follicles suffer from various injury, which are difficult to prevent. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) was reported to be an excellent procedure to promote capillary regeneration and reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury.AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of HBOT as an adjuvant therapy for hair transplantation surgery.Methods: 34 patients with II-IV alopecia were divided into the control group …
Since hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are effective and relatively safe, they have become increasingly popular over the past years. Nevertheless, injection with HA fillers can lead to complications, with varying levels of severity. One of the most severe early-occurring complications after injection with HA filler is vascular compromise1 ; this can lead toischemia, which may …

AbstractBackground: Phenol chemical peeling (PCP) treatment is associated with prolonged recovery and sustained adverse events.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is known to accelerate wound healing. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate theeffect of HBOT on PCP recovery period and adverse events. Methods: This is a pilot randomized controlled clinical study.Women following PCP underwent …
Summary: Natural and synthetic fillers have revolutionized aesthetic facial rejuve nation and soft-tissue augmentation. We present a case highlighting the dangers of filler self-injection. A 37-year-old woman self-injected a dermal filler around both temples. She immediately experienced left–side hearing loss, blanching over the left face, and pain. Prompt treatment with hyaluronidase, topical nitro paste, and warm compresses ensued. An …
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the regeneration of osteochondral defects of the rats, and the synergistic effect of this combined treatment.Materials and methods: This randomized, controlled, and interventional animal study was conducted between May 2014 and August 2014 Osteochondral regeneration was evaluated in four treatment groups (control, PRP, …
OBJECTIVES: The purpose is to study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and autologous platelet concentrates in healing the fibula bone of rabbits after induced fractures.METHODS: A total of 128 male New Zealand albino rabbits, between 6–8 months old, were subjected to a total osteotomy of the proximal portion of the right fibula. After surgery, …
We obtained costs and mortality data in two retrospec tive cohorts totaling 159 patients who have diabetes mellitus and onset of a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Data were collected from 2005 to 2013, with a follow-up period through September 30, 2014. A total of 106 patients entered an evidence-based limb salvage protocol (LSP) for Wagner Grade …
