Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: The responses of intracranial pressure (ICP) to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and arterial gas pressures were investigated. ICP was measured through a ventricular or spinal drainage catheter in patients with brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease. Changes...
Abstract: This study examined the incidence of osteoradionecrosis after tooth extraction with low-epinephrine or epinephrine-free, nonlidocaine local anesthetics and conservative surgical techniques. Estimates of the absorbed radiation dose on irradiated alveolar bone...
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) used in the pre- and postoperative periods on the content of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products in the plasma and erythrocyte membranes and on the physiological antioxidant activity has been assessed in patients with...
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is one of the most dreaded complications in the treatment of cancer of the head and neck. If conservative and surgical treatment have not been successful, very often the only remaining solution is surgical...
Abstract: The authors analyze the results of multiple-modality treatment of 31 patients suffering from genital endometriosis combined with nephroptosis. Nephropexy with a muscular flap was carried out in all the cases, followed by therapy for genital endometriosis,...
Abstract: We report a case of a male patient suffering from a severe hemorrhagic radiation proctitis which gradually ceased with hyperbaric oxygen. We discuss the mechanisms of chronic radiation injury and the effect of the hyperbaric oxygen. This therapy is proposed...
Abstract: Since 1968, studies have been conducted in Australia and New Zealand to improve the results of treatment for invasive bladder cancer. The prognostic value of clinical stage and of ureteric obstruction has been confirmed. Radiotherapy has been established as...
Abstract: The late radiation change observed in 15 patients treated for carcinoma of oral cavity or oropharynx using continuous hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (CHART) was compared to that seen in 15 similar patients treated with conventional radiotherapy....
Abstract: Proliferative activities were determined in 72 human brain tumors, including 20 metastatic carcinomas, 41 gliomas, 8 meningiomas and 3 hematological tumors. Immunocytochemical techniques included labeling with monoclonal antibody (mAb) to bromodeoxyuridine...
