Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
Abstract: This study was designed to use our institutional experience with irradiated head and neck patients to evaluate 1) dental extraction incidence and sequelae; 2) those patients who developed osteoradionecrosis via extraction and the efficacy of hyperbaric...
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia has long been recognized as a critical issue in oncology. Resistance of hypoxic areas has been shown to affect treatment outcome after radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery in a number of tumor sites. Two main strategies to overcome tumor...
Abstract: The authors report the case of a female patient (41 years old) affected by mucopolysaccharidosis type III or Sanfilippo syndrome submitted to a gynecologic surgical procedure and describe the main anesthesiologic problems. A sub-arachnoid anesthesia with...
Abstract: My colleagues and I present 2 cases of hemorrhagic postesophagectomy gastritis after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. On the basis of the location of the gastritis (lesser curve and midstomach) and the classic radiation injury appearance, radiation...
Abstract: Up to this day, the influence of laparoscopy and hyperbaric carbon dioxide on the growth of tumor cells is not yet clear. Cells of human colonic carcinoma CX-2 and pancreatic carcinoma DAN-G were exposed to carbon dioxide under pressures of zero, 6 and 12...
Abstract: This treatment may spare a patient with head or neck cancer the disfigurement of surgical reconstruction. Learn how to prepare and care for him. Anderson, , , , , , , , (2003). Using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to heal radiation wounds. Nursing, 2003...
Abstract: Despite their particular functional consequences, radiotherapy-induced ear injuries remain under-evaluated and under-reported. These reactions may have acute or late character, may affect all structures of the hearing organ, and result in conductive,...
Abstract: Persistent, poorly healing wounds are a significant clinical problem in patients who have had previous irradiation. Despite current treatments, refractory nonhealing soft tissue wounds persist. The study described one of the earliest reported uses of...
Abstract: A 39-year-old man presented with multiple intracranial cavernous malformations manifesting as intractable seizures persisting for more than 20 years. He underwent gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for right frontal and left temporal cavernous malformations. He...
