TEXTBOOK OF HYPERBARIC MEDICINE-NEW 5TH EDITION

By:  K.K. Jain

This textbook, now appearing in its 5th, fully updated, and expanded edition, has become widely recognized as the best exposition available on the topic of hyperbaric medicine and the wide range of applications of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). In addition to explaining the basic principles of HBO therapy, and its application in carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness, the textbook looks objectively and critically at its use in numerous other areas, such as stroke, neurological disorders, traumatology and wound healing, infectious diseases, rehabilitation and sports medicine, plastic surgery, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, obstetrics, pediatrics, organ transplantation, and as an adjunct to the treatment cancer. With over 2,000 up-to-date references and an extensive index, the volume is not just a textbook suitable for those seeking an introduction to this expanding field but also an invaluable resource for specialists. Also included is a chapter on hyperbaric medicine as a specialty, with recommendations on training, practice, and research. Hyperbaric facilities worldwide are also reviewed, with a further chapter on the considerable progress and expansion of the use of HBO in the United States.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

Edited by: John H. Zhang, MD, PhD

AVAILABLE NOW - IN STOCK!
This timely textbook is the first ever to be published on hyperbaric oxygen and its potential applications in neurological diseases. The stellar list of 37 national and international contributors is more than impressive.

FROM THE EDITOR: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used as a therapeutic or an alternative therapeutic strategy for neurological diseases for many years. However, for most neurological diseases, HBO is being used without FDA and UHMS approval and therefore HBO is used to treat neurological diseases in mostly “free-standing” clinics. One of the key issues that prevented HBO to become part of mainstream medicine for neurological diseases is the lack of scientific evidence to support a possible neuroprotective effect of HBO. That is the reason for publishing this book.

This book has four features. First, a basic science section of four chapters to demonstrate the effect of HBO on brain physiology and metabolism as well as pathophysiology. Lacking basic mechanisms for the effect of HBO has been the major hurdle preventing the use of HBO for neurological diseases. Second, this book emphasizes the potential use of HBO in stroke treatment with three chapters, because stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long term disability in the nation. Targeting stroke has the potential to take HBO to a new level in future applications. Third, the experimental application of HBO is discussed with five chapters on traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, autism, multiple sclerosis, and on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. There are tremendous debates in these fields and this book will provide a forum for extensive discussions. Fourth, several FDA approved HBO applications are presented in three chapters on carbon monoxide poisoning and on radiation-induced neurological injury.

Using an old Chinese phrase “throwing a piece of rock to attract a gem quality of jade”, this book is a first effort to bring experts from all over the world in the HBO community to target neurological diseases. We hope this is just a beginning, and that more books on HBO in neurological diseases will be published in the future. (Hardcover, 445 pgs) ISBN: 9781930536418

HYPERBARIC PHYSICS WITH BUBBLE MECHANICS AND DECOMPRESSION THEORY IN DEPTH

By: Bruce R Wienke

This book focuses on physics and associated mathematical relationships. Basic principles are first presented, and then practical applications and results are detailed. The intent here is to present a working view of physical phase mechanics, then followed by application to decompression theory in diving. It is directed toward the diver and reader with a basic understanding of decompression. Basically the mechanics of tissue gas exchange, bubbles and nucleation, supersaturation, perfusion and diffusion, and related mechanisms are discussed.

The targeted audience is especially the doctor or physiologist, physicist, chemist, mathematician, engineer or biologist by training and also the commercial diver, technical diver, instructor, hyperbaric technician, underwater researcher, looking for greater detail.

Bruce Wienke is a Program Manager in the Nuclear Weapons Technology/Simulation and Computing Office at LANL. He contributes to decompression workshops, symposia, educational publications, and technical periodicals. He is the author of seven books, and over 200 technical journal articles.
