The healing power of oxygen: how hyperbaric oxygenation reverses hypoxia

Thu, Feb 29, 2024

Have you ever experienced sluggishness, fatigue, or just not feeling like yourself? Sometimes, it's more than just needing a good night's sleep — it could be hypoxia, a condition where your body's tissues lack sufficient oxygen.

Hypoxia, at its core, is a medical condition characterised by inadequate oxygen levels in the body's tissues. Imagine your body as a bustling city, with cells diligently maintaining harmony. Within each cell, mitochondria, likened to powerhouses, rely on oxygen to fuel cellular functions. Hypoxia, in this analogy, is like a power outage disrupting certain areas of the city, hindering vital bodily processes due to oxygen shortage. This deficiency can stem from factors like chronic inflammation, reduced blood flow (ischemia), or specific medical conditions impeding oxygen intake. Oxygen serves as the lifeblood of cells, essential for energy production and daily tasks. Without sufficient oxygen, it's like asking cells to work with one hand tied behind their backs, leading to issues ranging from headaches and fatigue to more severe problems like non-healing wounds or chronic pain.

The Galway and Salthill Tramway Company

Thu, Feb 22, 2024

The mid-19th century was an era of little movement of people for social or pleasure purposes. In the post-Famine era, it was only business people of necessity, those who were emigrating or those whose financial circumstances allowed who travelled. Railway travel had come Galway in 1851 and there were a few horse drawn omnibuses operating between the city and the village of Salthill, which was really a rural backwater. But, it was becoming a fashionable place to live and was developing as a tourist destination. It was therefore no surprise when a tramway system between the city and the village was proposed.
