Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: A malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed at the site of bone infarction in the right femur of a 51-year-old male who had worked as a helmet diver and had experienced two episodes of bends in his young days. The outcome was rapidly fatal despite amputation...
Abstract: Thirty-one patients with advanced inoperable squamous carcinoma of the mouth were treated in a pilot study with misonidazole (2.0 gm/m2) with each of six fractions of 6.0 Gy in hyperbaric oxygen at 3 ATA. The one and two year disease free survival was 48 and...
Abstract: Both hypobaric exposure at 0.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) and hyperbaric pressure exposure at 3.5-8 ATA slowed transplantable tumor growth. These experiments detailed the hyperbaric pressure exposure. C3H/HeN-MTV+ mice, bearing the 16/C transplantable murine...
Abstract: In three patients traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts were observed. In one the cause was a barotrauma due to hyperbaric oxygenation with positive end-expiratory pressure. In the other two an accident was the cause. Expectant management is always indicated...
Abstract: A 71 year-old woman was admitted for transurethral resection of bladder carcinoma. The procedure was performed under spinal anaesthesia with mepivacaine 4% hyperbaric. The procedure was carried out without any technical problems. Despite appropriate...
Abstract: A pressure chamber for small laboratory animals was designed that can be operated up to 4 bar. It enables the removal of tissue cryobiopsies at liquid nitrogen temperatures during pressurisation. Relevant systemic parameters of the animals investigated, such...

Abstract: The toxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on growth and survival of B104 rat neuroblastoma cells were investigated. Cells in log phase growth were incubated at 37 degrees C with 10 atm O2 for 1 to 4 h. After exposure to HBO, cells were monitored for their...
