Research led by a team of investigators at University of Galway has revealed that frailty has a greater impact than age on the outcomes of patients being weaned off invasive mechanical ventilation, required by patients with various forms of respiratory failure.

Brain injuries, regardless of their perceived severity, can initiate a chain of cognitive challenges that endure over time. Studies highlight that repeated head trauma can instigate neurodegeneration, wherein the brain's essential functions gradually deteriorate. This not only compromises immediate cognitive abilities but also escalates the risk of developing debilitating neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Consequently, finding effective interventions to counteract these persistent effects becomes imperative.

Make a resolution to prioritise your health this New Year by exploring the transformative benefits of hyperbaric oxygenation. Investing in your wellbeing can yield incredible dividends, and hyperbaric oxygenation offers many known and proven benefits to elevate your health.

As an athlete, you dedicate yourself entirely to your sport. But with such intense effort comes the inevitable risk of injuries, particularly head injuries, which can have serious long-term consequences even when they appear minor at first.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) is a powerhouse for cellular rejuvenation, particularly through its impact on mitochondria — the cellular energy factories.

Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBOT) might sound a bit technical but it’s actually pretty straightforward. You sit in a special chamber where the air pressure is higher than normal, allowing your lungs to take in more oxygen than normal. This might seem like a small thing, but this extra oxygen can have some pretty powerful effects on your body.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that involves breathing almost 100 per cent pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber. Traditionally used for conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, non-healing wounds, and decompression sickness, HBOT has gained attention for its potential benefits in various health conditions, including colds and flus.

Chronic inflammation is a hidden culprit behind many health conditions, and while it serves a purpose in the body’s natural healing process, when it lingers, it can cause more harm than good.

Did you know that certain medical conditions — like rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and migraines — disproportionately affect women?

One thing we often forget is how sensitive our eyes are to oxygen changes. Much like a plant wilting when deprived of water, the eyes can suffer greatly when they don't get enough oxygen. This can occur due to illness, injury and unfortunately age. Hyperbaric oxygenation can be a much needed addition to maintaining or restoring your eye health.
