Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on anastomoses created under the influence of 5-FU.
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on the healing capacity of colonic anastomoses under the influence of preoperative chemotherapy. Forty male Wistar-Albino rats were divided into four groups of 10. Colonic resection and...
Aspergillosis of the temporomandibular joint following irradiation of the parotid region: a case report.
Abstract: We report a case of aspergillosis in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with a history of parotid carcinoma and post-irradiation otitis. Previous treatment attempts with surgery and antibiotics were unsuccessful. Radical debridement of the glenoid...
Hyperbaric oxygen and radiotherapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure of at least 1.5 atmospheres absolute (150 kPa). It uses oxygen as a drug by dissolving it in the plasma and delivering it to the tissues independent of hemoglobin. For a variety...
Multiple hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) expands the therapeutic window in acute spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been reported to improve neurological recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the present study, we examined whether multiple HBO expands the therapeutic window for acute SCI. Single HBO (2.8 ATA, 1 hour)...
Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of early-phase Dupuytren’s contracture.
Abstract: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a proliferative disorder of autosomal-dominant inheritance, with variable penetrance of gene expression. The treatment of DD is challenging. Both operative and nonoperative approaches were reported for treatment of the disease,...
Controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for alkali corneal burn in the rabbit.
Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of alkali-induced corneal burns in an animal model. Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into a control group (n = 12) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment group (n = 12). After induction of...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the bout of treatment for soft tissue infections.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is often combined with antibiotic therapy for infections such as gas gangrene and osteomyelitis. Although numerous investigations have been undertaken to assess the effect of adjunctive HBO therapy on the treatment of...
[Spinal anesthesia in a patient with hemiparesis after poliomyelitis].
Abstract: A seventy-year-old man who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P), had carried over the palsy after poliomyelitis inflicted at one year of age. Spinal anesthesia using with 7 mg of hyperbaric tetracaine with dextrose solution was performed...
