Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: Sodium thiosulfate has been successfully used to treat calcyphilaxis in adults and children, but its effect on iatrogenic calcinosis cutis secondary to extravasation of calcium solutions is less known. We describe a 5-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic...
Abstract: Hermann, Carl, , , , , , , (2010). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation-associated tissue necroses: is it safe in patients with locoregionally recurrent and then successfully salvaged head-and-neck cancers? (Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys...
Abstract: Sweet syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, and subcorneal pustular dermatosis are neutrophilic dermatoses - conditions that have an inflammatory infiltrate consisting of mature polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The neutrophils are usually located within the dermis in...
Abstract: We report the case of a systemic air embolism occurring during pulmonary radiofrequency ablation. At the end of the procedure, the patient experienced a sudden myocardial infarction, complicated by ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and cerebral...
Abstract: The success of osseointegrated implants in the radiated fibula flap used for mandibular reconstruction is variable, and there are few long-term data available in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate implant success in radiated fibula...
Abstract: Hypoxia is associated with increased resistance to chemo- and radiation-therapy. Hyperoxic treatment (hyperbaric oxygen) has previously been shown to potentiate the effect of some forms of chemotherapy, and this has been ascribed to enhanced cytotoxicity or...
Abstract: Over the past 50 years, hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been used in a wide variety of medical conditions; this theraphy causes an increase in oxygen tension in blood and tissues. In the treatment of malignant gliomas, HBO therapy is used for the...
Abstract: The study's primary objective was to review (for the years 2003 to 2006) the outcomes of using prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to prevent osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in a group of patients previously exposed to radiotherapy of the head and neck. A...
Abstract: A 60-year-old man with esophageal carcinoma in the upper 3rd underwent palliative treatment including photodynamic therapy, brachytherapy, external beam irradiation, and esophageal stenting. He developed a symptomatic malignant esophagotracheo-bronchial...
