Abstract: Repeated episodes of acute bowel obstruction is a potential complication following pelvic radiation therapy. It has been previously thought that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may not be useful for treatment of such obstructive episodes. We report our...
Abstract: The current wars in the Middle East have resulted in between 10-20% of U.S. service members with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While anecdotal reports have associated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) with improved outcomes after mTBI, controlled research is...
Abstract: Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent widely used in the treatment of refractory glioma. Its efficacy is limited, however, by poor cancer cell penetration and drug resistance. The present study, therefore, aimed to investigate whether hyperbaric...
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene is an infectious necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genital regions and has a high mortality rate. It is a synergistic infection caused by a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic organisms and predisposing factors, including diabetes...
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious health issue that may result in high health care costs, with additional social and psychological burdens. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been found to be beneficial for neurological recovery; however, the...
Abstract: Novak, Badawi, , , , , , , (2012). Last breath: effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for cerebral palsy. Annals of neurology, 2012 Nov;72(5):633-4. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23280788
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia is a known driver of angiogenesis that also facilitates tumor growth. Moreover, poorly oxygenated central tumor area remains relatively radio or chemo resistant. HBO therapy is known to elevate the levels of dissolved oxygen and eliminates...
Abstract: Patients suffering from necrotizing fasciitis (NF) are often haemodynamically unstable and require extended monitoring of cardiovascular parameters; yet this is limited during hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). We aimed to evaluate the use and safety of...
Abstract: Neurological deficits occurring after diving or hyperbaric exposure are typically due to central nervous system decompression illness (DCI). However, consideration of alternate diagnoses is sometimes warranted. A 47-yr-old female hyperbaric technician...
