Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on clinical outcome of patients after resection of meningiomas with conspicuous peritumoral brain edema.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to determine the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the clinical outcome of patients after resection of meningiomas with conspicuous peritumoral brain edema (PTBE). 232 patients with intracranial meningiomas and conspicuous...
[The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on treatment of late healed wounds after pharyngeal and laryngeal surgery].
Abstract: To investigate effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on treatment of late healed wounds after pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas surgery. Eighty-three patients with late healed wounds after pharyngolaryngectomy were divided into two groups, which were...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on bone healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts: a modified case control study.
Abstract: Mandibular cysts may require enucleation, resulting in large cavities compromising mandibular strength and functions. We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on healing after enucleation of mandibular cysts. Fourteen healthy...
Flap reconstruction and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of temporal bone osteoradionecrosis in an endolymphatic sac tumor: case report.
Abstract: Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELSTs) are rare neuroectodermal neoplasms arising within the posterior petrous bone. We present a case of a 21-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of intermittent morning headaches, fatigue, diplopia, and gait ataxia....
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on vigility of spermatozoids: preliminary report.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) to the vigilance of spermatozoids. The sperm samples were obtained from the patients (n=10) with diagnosed oligospermia. The motility of spermatozoids in tested samples was...
Effect of intravenous ondansetron on sensory and motor block after spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine.
Abstract: Ondansetron is a potent antiemetic and a competitive antagonist at serotonin receptors, which are also involved in modulation of pain. This study was designed to assess the effect of systemic ondansetron on sensory and motor block after subarachnoid...
Does hyperbaric oxygen administration before or after irradiation decrease side effects of irradiation on implant sites?
Abstract: One of the main limitations of implant-based breast reconstruction is the high rate of complications such as capsular contracture and poor aesthetic outcome, due to adjuvant radiotherapy. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been used to assist wound...
Meningeal carcinomatosis diagnosed during stroke evaluation in the emergency department.
Abstract: A 70-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of intermittent dysphasia and right facial droop. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were obtained, and the patient was found to have meningeal...
