Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cancer.
[Mandibular osteoradionecrosis: sword of Damocles of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers?].
Abstract: Radiotherapy of head and neck cancer is efficient but may have severe late effects. Although unfrequent, mandibular radionecrosis is the most dreadful. A cascade of events leads from hyposialia to bone destruction through extensive caries and trauma linked...
Subdural spinal granuloma resulting from Candida albicans without immunosufficiency: case report.
Abstract: This was a case of spinal subdural granuloma of Candida albicans. A high cerebrospinal fluid protein level without pleocytosis (albuminocytologic dissociation) was observed. This case proved difficult to diagnose and treat. To clarify the important issues in...
Change of oxygen pressure in glioblastoma tissue under various conditions.
Abstract: Measurement of oxygen pressure (pO2) in tumor tissue is important, because pO2 is a major factor for radiosensitivity in malignant glioma treatment. We attempted to elucidate the changes in pO2 level in glioblastoma tissue of patients under various...
Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants.
Abstract: Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth and associated tissues. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those that have also undergone surgery for cancer may benefit particularly from reconstruction with implants. Hyperbaric oxygen...
Aseptic osteonecrosis in a child with nephroblastoma healed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cognitive disorders after irradiation of the brain.
Abstract: Analysis of the feasibility and effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on cognitive functioning in patients with cognitive disorders after irradiation of the brain. Seven patients with cognitive impairment after brain irradiation, with an interval of at...
Radiotherapy-induced mandibular bone complications.
Abstract: The mandible is among the bones most frequently affected by irradiation. The most severe post-radiation injury of the mandible is osteoradionecrosis (ORN). Conflicting data have been reported on the incidence of this complication, its aetiology and...
Refractive change during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A clinical trial including ultrasound oculometry.
Abstract: To record changes in refraction and refractive parameters associated with a standard hyperbaric oxygen treatment protocol consisting of a 95 min session at > 95% oxygen at 2.5 atmospheres (ATA) given daily Monday to Friday, to a total of 30 sessions....
