Keywords

  • Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates - cerebrovascular diseases, cause of death in the United States
  • HBO use in deep-sea divers - decompression sickness ("the bends") and arterial gas embolism
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy - and HBO use in organ ischemia
  • Hyperoxia, reducing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA and MMP-9 - and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) levels
  • NBO therapy, accessible - costing less, pleasant for patients, than the HBO
