HIIT in Cancer: Better Fitness & Function Compared to Conventional Endurance Training?

HIIT improves function and VO₂ in cancer patients; compared to MICT, a benefit for VO₂ is observed (SMD 0.37; p=0.009). Training effects increase with total volume.

HBOT and erectile dysfunction: prospective study (2018)

In a prospective study with HBOT (40 sessions, 2 ATA), higher IIEF scores and increased penile perfusion (K-trans +153 %) were observed. The results suggest angiogenesis as a possible underlying mechanism.

Research on HBOT and cognitive function after COVID: commentary

Commentary: hypoxaemia is discussed as a possible factor in cognitive impairment after COVID. HBOT could influence tissue oxygenation and neuroplasticity; a case report and a small randomised study reported changes in cognition and MRI findings.

Study on HBOT, neurocognitive function and symptoms in post-COVID

In a randomised study with HBOT (40 sessions, 2 ATA, 90 min), changes in cognition, energy, sleep, psychological symptoms and pain were observed in long COVID. Changes in brain perfusion and microstructure were also reported.

Pilot study examined HBOT, cerebral blood flow and cognitive scores; preclinical study examined amyloid burden in an Alzheimer's mouse model

A pilot study examined changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognitive scores in older patients (n=6) after 60 sessions (2 ATA, 90 min). Preclinical studies reported increased CBF, reduced hypoxia and less amyloid in AD mice.

Study examines telomere length and immune senescence under HBOT

In a prospective study with HBOT (60 sessions, 2 ATA), telomere length increases of over 20% in T, B and NK cells and a reduction in senescent T cells (CD4⁺CD28⁻ −37%) were observed. The authors discuss this in connection with immunological aging processes.
