The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor XG-102 enhances the neuroprotection of hyperbaric oxygen after cerebral ischaemia in adult rats.
Abstract: Both hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and inhibition of the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) by the peptide inhibitor XG-102 (D-JNKI-1) are efficient protective strategies against ischaemia-induced neurodegeneration. The present study investigated whether the...
Osteoradionecrosis in cancer patients: the evidence base for treatment-dependent frequency, current management strategies, and future studies.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to review the evidence base from 1990 to 2008 to (1) clarify the impact of cancer therapies on prevalence of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in head and neck cancer patients, and to (2) evaluate management strategies and their...
Hyperbaric oxygen: its application in cardiology: a historical perspective and personal journey.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) was first used by placing a patient with the "bends" in a pressure chamber and increasing the pressure to 3 atm with 100% oxygen. It was soon recognized that HBO could also facilitate wound healing in infected ischemic...
[Usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of radionecrosis and symptomatic brain edema after LINAC radiosurgery].
Abstract: Radionecrosis with brain edema is a complication of radiosurgery. Three female patients harbouring a frontal pole, petrous and parasagital parietoocipital meningiomas respectively who had been treated with LINAC radiosurgery are presented. Those patients...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the management of late radiation injury to the head and neck. Part II: prevention.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws is a feared complication of treatment for head and neck cancer, and understandably much attention has been given to its prevention; good oral hygiene, careful preventative dental care, and extractions done before...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the management of late radiation injury to the head and neck. Part I: treatment.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious condition following treatment for head and neck cancer with serious associated morbidity and mortality. While the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in treating established osteoradionecrosis has been standard practice in...
Hyperbaric oxygen: therapy for patients with maxillofacial implants?
Abstract: Osseointegration was an innovative treatment in dentistry during the last 3 decades. The success of osseointegration is related to factors such as material biocompatibility, adequate quality of bone tissue that allows implantation, surgical technique, and...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an anti-infective agent.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves inhalation of 100% oxygen at supra-atmospheric ambient pressure. HBOT is used as either a primary or adjunctive treatment in the management of infections such as gas gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, diabetic foot...
