Long-term outcomes of interventions for radiation-induced xerostomia: A review.
Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a significant problem affecting quality of life in patients treated with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Strategies for reduction of xerostomia burden vary widely, with options including: sialagogue medications, saliva substitutes, acupuncture, vitamins, hyperbaric oxygen, submandibular gland transfer, and acupuncture or associated treatments. In this review, we sought to evaluate long-term outcomes of patients treated with various interventions for radiation-induced xerostomia. A literature search was performed using the terms “xerostomia” and “radiation” or “radiotherapy”; all prospective clinical trials were evaluated, and only studies that reported 1 year follow up were included.

Oxygen therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials.
Abstract: Oxygen therapy is widely used for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there is uncertainty about its safety and benefits. The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and safety...
Otologic Outcomes After Blast Injury: The Brussels Bombing Experience.
Abstract: After the suicide bombings in Brussels on March 22, 2016, many victims consulted our emergency department with otologic symptoms. The aim of this study was to report the otologic morbidity and outcome after acute acoustic trauma in these patients....

Short-term effects on ocular variables immediately after hyperbaric oxygen exposures.
Abstract: To determine ocular refraction, corneal thickness, corneal radius, corneal power, corneal astigmatism and intraocular pressure in patients before and immediately after repeated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) exposures twice a week during six weeks of HBO2 therapy....
Use of in-chamber transcutaneous oxygen measurement to determine optimal treatment pressure in patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is used to promote healing in select problem wounds. Transcutaneous oxygen measurement (TCOM) can be used to predict the response of these wounds to HBO2, with in-chamber TCOM values shown to be the most predictive. We...
Thermal imaging and planimetry evaluation of the results of chronic wounds treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: One of the methods to treat chronic wounds is the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Objective measurement of the wound surface is an important element in the process of monitoring and predicting the progress of treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate...
