Abstract: The treatment of brain abscess remains a challenging topic usually involving a multimodal concept. We report our experience with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in five children presenting with brain abscesses between 1995 and 2002 at the Department of...

Bone marrow oedema and aseptic osteonecrosis in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or non-Hodgkin-lymphoma treated with hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy (HBO): an approach to cure? — BME/AON and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment modality.
Abstract: There is a striking need for additional therapies of bone marrow oedema (BME) and aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in paediatric oncology patients. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy used in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis is demonstrated effectiveness. Aim...

Survey of the use of hyperbaric oxygen by maxillofacial oncologists in the UK.
Abstract: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons often use hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Our aim was to find out the referral pattern of these surgeons for HBO. We contacted oral and maxillofacial units in England, Wales, and Scotland and identified 125 consultants who are...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radionecrosis of the jaw: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial from the ORN96 study group.
Abstract: To determine the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) for overt mandibular osteoradionecrosis. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted at 12 university hospitals. Ambulatory adults...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on human oral cancer cells.
Abstract: Discoveries of the beneficial cellular and biochemical effects have strengthened the rationale for the administration of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of osteoradionecrosis (ORN). Malignancies, however, are...
Expression of hypoxia-related tissue factors correlates with diminished survival of adjuvantly treated patients with chromosome 1p aberrant oligodendroglial neoplasms and therapeutic implications.
Abstract: Oligodendroglial neoplasms with chromosome 1p deletion are chemosensitive, and stratified adjuvant therapies have been proposed on the basis of 1p status. In this study, we evaluated expression of hypoxia-related factors and its influence on survival in...
Mandibular reconstruction with microsurgical bone flap and dental implants.
Abstract: Functional reconstruction of the mandible following resection or traumatic injury depends on the bony reconstruction and support dental implants. Microsurgical bone flaps allow the transfer of bone and soft tissue with a rich vascular supply and provide a...
Iron and infection: the heart of the matter.
Abstract: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to clinical medicine. However, natural resistance to bacterial infection, which does not depend on antibiotics, is a powerful protective mechanism common to all mankind. The availability of iron is the...
