The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction? (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., Greenman, J., & McCollum, P. Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication represents a minor ischaemia reperfusion episode. Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen during such episodes is a concern to many vascular surgeons because of the theoretical risk of generating excess free radicals. We a...

Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., McCollum, P., & Chetter, I. Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Paper presented at Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) Annual Meeting

BACKGROUND: The abnormal microvascular reflexes seen in vascular patients are of importance in the pathogenesis of complications. We investigated the influence of oxygen on two reflexes, the vasoconstrictive response to leg dependency (VCD) and the v...
