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)...

Full thickness burns over bilateral patella tendons – adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for wound bed preparation and improved graft take.
Abstract: Chong, Ooi, Kok, Tan, , , , , (2011). Full thickness burns over bilateral patella tendons - adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for wound bed preparation and improved graft take. Annals of the Academy of Medicine,...
Cardiorespiratory effects of change in posture after spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine.
Abstract: Spinal anesthesia is a special regional anesthetic technique that is applied in lower limb orthopedic and other surgical procedures made below the transverse umbilical line, which is able to produce a neuraxial central block. The patient's position, together...
What is the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: a randomized controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunct to surgery and antibiotics.
Abstract: This study tested hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as an adjunct to surgery and antibiotics in the treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and evaluated its effects on gingival healing, pain, and quality of life. The investigators...
The 2-nitroimidazole EF5 is a biomarker for oxidoreductases that activate the bioreductive prodrug CEN-209 under hypoxia.
Abstract: Benzotriazine-N-oxide bioreductive prodrugs such as tirapazamine and its improved analogue CEN-209 (SN30000) have potential for exploiting hypoxia in tumors. Here, we test the hypothesis that the 2-nitroimidazole EF5, in clinical development for both...
Low dose intrathecal morphine effects on post-hysterectomy pain: a randomized placebo-controlled study.
Abstract: Spinal anesthesia with different doses of intrathecal morphine has been shown to relieve post-operative pain. We studied in a prospective randomized, double-blind fashion the effects of morphine 0, 100, 200, or 300 μg added to intrathecal bupivacaine on...
Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor α-chain: a potential method for acute promyeloid leukemia therapy.
Abstract: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) affects multiple types of leukemia cells in vitro through its functional receptor LIFR, which comprises a complex of the LIFR α-chain (LIFRα) and gp130. Researchers have recently observed that the C-terminus of the LIFRα...
Targeting quiescent tumor cells via oxygen and IGF-I supplementation.
Abstract: Conventional chemotherapy targets proliferating cancer cells, but most cells in solid tumors are not in a proliferative state. Thus, strategies to enable conventional chemotherapy to target noncycling cells may greatly increase tumor responsiveness. In this...
Argon plasma coagulation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic radiation proctopathy, effectiveness and impact on tissue toxicity.
Abstract: chronic radiation proctopathy (CRP) is associated with recurrent rectal bleeding and transfusional requirements. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) have been shown to be effective in the control of CRP. No prospective...
