[Effects of probiotics on blood glucose levels and clinical outcomes in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma].

Objective: To investigate the effects of probiotics on blood glucose levels and clinical outcomes in patients suffering from severe craniocerebral trauma.

Methods: A prospective randomized control study was conducted. Fifty-two severe craniocerebral trauma patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) were randomized into experimental or control group (each n=26).

Effects of early hyperbaric oxygen therapy on clinical outcome in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm.

Objective: To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) in postoperative patients with intracranial aneurysm.

Methods: A total of 120 patients who underwent clipping of intracranial aneurysm of the anterior circulation were randomized into the HBO2 group (n = 60) or the Control group (n = 60). Compared with the Control group, patients in the HBO2 group received additional HBO2 therapy, which was initiated within one to three days as soon as they were deemed clinically stable, for at least 20 sessions (one session per day).
