Hyperbaric oxygen ameliorates worsening signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 2.4 atmospheric pressure absolutes for 90 minutes per day ameliorated the signs and symptoms of agitation, confusion, and emotional distress in a 27-year-old male seven days following a traumatic accident. Hyperbaric oxygen was...
Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by curative transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for rectal cancer complicated by major suture dehiscence: avoiding ileostomy through hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Araujo, Bammann, Seid, Nahas, Nahas, Cecconello, , , (2011). Neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by curative transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for rectal cancer complicated by major suture dehiscence: avoiding ileostomy through hyperbaric...
QEEG-guided neurofeedback for recurrent migraine headaches
Abstract Seventy-one patients with recurrent migraine headaches, aged 17-62, from one neurological practice, completed a quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) procedure. All QEEG results indicated an excess of high-frequency beta activity (21-30 Hz) in 1-4 cortical...
Hypoxic modification of radiotherapy in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck–a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract: The importance of tumour hypoxia for the outcome of radiotherapy has been under investigation for decades. Numerous clinical trials modifying the hypoxic radioresistance in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) have been conducted, but most...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation treatment on the apoptotic cell death pathway after transient focal cerebral ischemia].
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of administration of hyperbaric oxygenation(HBO) when initiated at different time after acute transient ischemia. Apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra was further investigated to search for the possible mechanism. The male SD rats were...
Neuroprotective effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Abstract: The study investigated the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in a rodent model (rAION). rAION was laser-induced in one eye of 63 mice. The fellow (uninjured) eye served as an internal control. Thirty-three...
Chronic radiation proctitis: issues surrounding delayed bowel dysfunction post-pelvic radiotherapy and an update on medical treatment.
Abstract: Late onset bowel dysfunction post-pelvic radiotherapy is an increasingly common clinical scenario which is related to improved oncological treatments and cancer survival. 50% of patients develop bowel symptoms after pelvic radiotherapy which affects quality...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: solution for difficult to heal acute wounds? Systematic review.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used to treat various wound types. However, the possible beneficial and harmful effects of HBOT for acute wounds are unclear. We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of HBOT compared to other...
