Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunctive treatment for zygomycosis.
Abstract: Zygomycosis is a rare but emerging mycosis. Because of the sub-optimal efficacy of the standard antifungal treatment for this disease, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used occasionally as an adjunctive therapeutic modality. A review of 28 published cases of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for treating haemorrhagic cystitis. From February 1997 to April 2004, seven patients with radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis were treated with HBO; they received a mean (range) of 30 (18-57) HBO...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces the size of Leishmania amazonensis-induced soft tissue lesions in mice.
Abstract: In this study we determined whether exposing mice to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) would alter various disease parameters of a susceptible mouse strain infected with Leishmania amazonensis. BALB/c mice exposed to HBO (100% O2 at a pressure of 2.5 ATA, 1h before...
Partial seizure provoked by hyperbaric oxygen therapy: possible mechanisms and implications.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) is used commonly for treatment of bone and soft-tissue radiation necrosis. It may be a potential therapy for radiation necrosis seen after brain irradiation. HBO2 risks include generalized tonic-clonic convulsions. We...
Early enteral feeding compared with parenteral nutrition after oesophageal or oesophagogastric resection and reconstruction.
Abstract: After resective and reconstructive surgery in the gastrointestinal tract, oral feeding is traditionally avoided in order to minimize strain to the anastomoses and to reduce the inherent risks of the postoperatively impaired gastrointestinal motility....
Rectourethral fistula after combination radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Abstract: To describe 6 cases of rectourethral fistula in patients treated with brachytherapy plus external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer and subsequent rectal biopsies or rectal surgery. A retrospective chart review was undertaken of patients with...
Randomized clinical trial comparing OASIS Wound Matrix to Regranex Gel for diabetic ulcers.
Abstract: To compare healing rates at 12 weeks for full-thickness diabetic foot ulcers treated with OASIS Wound Matrix, an acellular wound care product, versus Regranex Gel. Randomized, prospective, controlled multicenter trial at 9 outpatient wound care clinics. A...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of complications of irradiation in head and neck area.
Abstract: We have investigated the treatment results of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) to patients with radiation-induced tissue complications. Eight patients (1.4%) from 548 with head and neck cancers treated surgically with post- or preoperative radiotherapy or...
