Abstract: This report describes the results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in 10 patients with radiation-induced cystitis. Severe macroscopic hematuria was present in all patients and was resistant to current therapy. Previously 8 patients had been treated for bladder...
Cancer
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
[Effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on tumor growth].
Abstract: The study failed to show a stimulating effect of hyperbaric oxygen on growth and metastatic spreading of sarcoma 37 transplanted subcutaneously or intravenously to female SHR mice, melanoma B16 intramuscularly transplanted to female C57/Bl mice and...

Therapeutic gain factors for fractionated radiation treatment of spontaneous murine tumors using fast neutrons, photons plus O2(1) or 3 ATA, or photons plus misonidazole.
Abstract: Therapeutic gain factors (TGFs) have been determined for three spontaneous tumors of the C3H mouse treated by photons + normobaric oxygen (O2(1) ATA), photons + hyperbaric oxygen (O2 3 ATA), photons + misonidazole, or fast neutrons. The tumors were early...

An improved method for determination of colonic mucosal proliferation: uptake of tritiated thymidine under hyperbaric oxygen conditions.
Abstract: In vitro uptake of tritiated thymidine under normal oxygen tension in standard tissue culture conditions (95% O2 and 5% CO2, 1 atm pressure) may only approximate the in vivo concentration of oxygen delivered to the colon epithelium in situ. Using standard O2...
Modulating the oxygen tension in tumours by hypothermia and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Hypothermia is associated with reduced metabolism of tissues and especially reduced oxygen consumption by tumours. If the blood supply to a hypothermic tumour can be maintained then the hypoxic fraction of cells should be reduced and the radiation response...
[Radiosensitizing effects of perfluorochemicals].
Abstract: Malignant neoplasms are often refractory to radiotherapy because they contain areas of hypoxic cells that tolerate irradiation, reducing the effect of the treatment. If these areas of hypoxic cells can be oxygenated, the effect of radiotherapy is expected to...
Pathogenesis of cerebral air embolism during neodymium-YAG laser photoresection.
Abstract: We describe a case of air embolism complicating neodymium-YAG laser resection of an endobronchial carcinoid tumor. A 27-year-old man experienced an acute neurologic syndrome during laser photoresection which responded to acute hyperbaric therapy. Ross,...
