Use of mild hyperbaric oxygen less than 2 atmospheres absolute (2026.54 hPa)with normal air is emerging as a common complementary treatment for severemuscle injury. Although hyperbaric oxygen at over 2 atmospheres absolute with100% O2 promotes healing of skeletal muscle injury, it is not clear whether mildhyperbaric oxygen is equally effective. The purpose of the present …

Abstract: In the last decade, competitive sports have taken on a whole new meaning, whereintensity has increased together with the incidence of injuries to the athletes. Therefore, thereis a strong need to develop better and faster treatments that allow the injured athlete to returnto competition faster than with the normal course of rehabilitation, with a …

Abstract Animal experiments were performed toinvestigate whether and how the administration ofhyperbaric oxygen (HBO) affects gene expressions ofprocollagens, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) andtissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in in jured medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anteriorcruciate ligament (ACL). In 64 Sprague-Dawley rats,the MCL of the left knee was lacerated at the mid substance, and the ACL …
