Article Synopsis
- Skin biopsies were used in a clinical trial to assess the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on aging skin, targeting key aging hallmarks like telomere shortening and senescent cells.
- The study involved 70 participants, with 13 males undergoing skin biopsies before, during, and after a three-month HBOT treatment, showing significant improvements in collagen density, elastic fiber length, and blood vessel count.
- Results suggest that HBOT can effectively improve skin aging by promoting blood vessel growth and reducing senescent cells, marking a significant breakthrough in understanding treatments for aging in humans.
Background: Descriptions of the rarely occurring condition of conjoined twins are sparse.
Methods: We report a case series of four conjoined twin pregnancies diagnosed up to 16 weeks of gestation. One was in a quadruplet in vitro fertilization intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) pregnancy of cryopreserved embryos and the others were spontaneous conceptions.
