Accidents are the most frequent cause of head trauma. They can cause neurological alterations and affect the patient’s daily activities. A head injury is a physical injury that occurs in the brain tissue and that temporarily or permanently alters brain function. It can be closed (involves a strong impact on the head, but without breaking the skull) or open/penetrating (the
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are considered as a group of conditions characterized by some degree of alteration of social behavior, communication and language, and by a restricted, stereotyped and repetitive repertoire of interests and activities. These conditions are included in the category of pervasive developmental disorders. ASD is a generic term that includes childhood autism, atypical autism, and Asperger’s Syndrome.
Pain is the most frequent cause for patients to seek medical advice. It covers physical and psychological components and can affect the quality of life. The International Association for the Study of Pain defines it as an unpleasant emotional and sensitive experience that is associated with a real or potential injury to the tissues. The perception of pain occurs in
Migraine and cluster headaches are severe and disabling. Migraine affects up to 18% of women, while cluster headaches are much less common (0.2% of the population). A number of acute and prophylactic therapies are available. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the therapeutic administration of 100% oxygen at environmental pressures greater than one atmosphere. Migraine and cluster headache are disabling health
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disease characterized by chronic and generalized pain. No medical and scientific evidence has yet been found that can explain it. The sensation of pressure at specific points resembles joint pain, although FM is a rather rheumatologic or soft-tissue pathology. Between 2% and 6% of the population (around 6 million people in the world) suffers from FM
Hyperbaric Oxygenation Treatment continues to expand in Latin America. BioBarica opened the doors of a new center of attention in Providencia, Chile. The headquarters is in Eliodoro Yañez 2972, Of 702, Providencia. Santiago de Chile. HBOT is a non-invasive method that consists in supplying oxygen at high concentrations in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber at a minimum of 1.4 ATM atmospheres
A new service center was inaugurated in Junín. The headquarters is located at Primera Junta 19, (6000) Junin, Prov. de Bs. As. and will offer the benefits of hyperbaric medicine to the community. Hyperbaric chamber treatment is a non-invasive method that provides air and oxygen under pressure in a pressurized cabin at 1.45 ATM. The normal ambient atmospheric pressure is
It is the non-invasive method of hyperbaric oxygenation. It is indicated for autism, cerebral palsy and headaches, among other pathologies. In the long term, it offers obvious benefits in the improvement of motor function. Childhood neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles of the child. They can
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy consists of increasing the oxygen levels in the blood for medical purposes. This is what is called hyperoxia. To achieve it, patients receive oxygen at a pressure of at least 1.4 atmospheres using a mask inside a hyperbaric chamber. Hyperoxia has, among other benefits, anti-inflammatory effect; bactericidal action; and acts on the cellular metabolism. It also favors
Dr. Elías López, head of BioBarica at the Santa Elena Clinic (Madrid), has pointed out that, although the response to the treatment of each patient is different, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) improves the symptoms of 90% of the patients affected by diabetic foot and completely heals wounds in 60 percent of cases, rising to 80 percent when treatment starts early
