Effectiveness of intensity-modulated and image-guided radiotherapy to spare the mandible from excessive radiation.
Abstract: We would like to assess the effectiveness of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to decrease the risk of osteoradionecrosis in locally advanced head and neck cancer. We conducted a retrospective study of 83 patients...
Combination hyperbaric oxygen and temozolomide therapy in C6 rat glioma model.
Abstract: Temozolomide (TMZ) has anti-tumor activity in patients with malignant glioma. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) may enhance the efficacy of certain therapies that are limited because of the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. We examined the combined effects of TMZ-HBO in...
Toxic inhalational exposures.
Abstract: Respirable toxicants are a spectrum of irritant and nonirritant gases, vapors, fumes, and airborne particles that can be entrained into the body through the respiratory tract, resulting in exposures that cause pulmonary injury and/or systemic disease....
Individualized, multimodal palliative treatment of inoperable esophageal cancer: clinical impact of photodynamic therapy resulting in prolonged survival.
Abstract: In esophageal carcinoma palliative treatment is often required due to advanced tumor stage or patient-related factors. The main goal of our retrospective single center study was to evaluate the effect of an individualized multimodal palliative treatment,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in necrotizing soft tissue infections.
Abstract: Surgical debridement and antibiotics are the mainstays of therapy for patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs), but hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is often used as an adjunctive measure. Despite this, the efficacy of HBO remains unclear. We...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treatment of children with autism: a systematic review of randomized trials.
Abstract: There is a controversy about the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for the treatment of autism. This study systematically reviews the current evidences for treating of autism with HBO therapy. According to PRISMA guidelines for a systematic review,...
Hyperbaric oxygen – its mechanisms and efficacy
Principal mechanisms of HBO2 are based on intracellular generation of reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen. Reactive species are recognized to play a central role in cell signal transduction cascades and the discussion will focus on these pathways. Systematic reviews and randomized clinical trials support clinical use of HBO2 for refractory diabetic wound healing and radiation injuries; treatment of compromised flaps and grafts and ischemia-reperfusion disorders is supported by animal studies and a small number of clinical trials, but further studies are warranted.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment in the experimental spinal cord injury model.
Abstract: Spinal cord trauma is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Although no known treatment for spinal cord injury exists, a limited number of effective treatment modalities and procedures are available that improve secondary injury. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...
