When it comes to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), one of the most debated topics in the field is whether mild pressure chambers operating around 1.3 atmospheres (ATA) are truly effective. Some claim that only higher pressures create meaningful physiological changes, while others argue that mild HBOT offers the same benefits at a gentler intensity. So, which is correct? Recent research conducted as part of a PhD program at the University of Miami set out to answer this que

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50, affects the macula, a crucial part of the eye responsible for detailed vision. Dry AMD, the more common form, has limited treatment options, prompting interest in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). AMD damages the central vision, leading to blurriness or blind spots. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing oxygen delivery to tissues. It may also reduce inf
