Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease

First isolated as a chemical compound by a Russian chemist in 1866, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has proven to be a near-perfect solvent for decades, but its remarkable biological and medical activities have only recently come to light. DMSO stands out as one of the most prodigious agents emerging from the world of drug development. Its extensive range of biological actions affecting plants, animals, and humans has resulted in the publication of tens of thousands of articles in the scientific literature. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) in Trauma and Disease delves into the major clinical applications of DMSO in humans, backed by foundational evidence drawn from animal experiments. This insightful book explores its effects on a variety of disorders, including osteoarthritis , interstitial cystitis , gastrointestinal inflammatory changes , scleroderma , respiratory distress , myasthenia gravis , cardiac disease , traumatic brain injury , and Alzheimer’s disease .
