Abstract: Calciphylaxis, also referred to as calcific uraemic arteriolopathy, is a syndrome associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and causes necrotic skin ulcers, often leading to a fatal outcome. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy has been used to enhance...

Photosensitization with hematoporphyrin derivative compared to 5-aminolaevulinic acid for photodynamic therapy of esophageal carcinoma.
Abstract: Hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD) as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in advanced esophageal cancer carry the risk of prolonged photosensitivity of the skin. New sensitizers such as 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) with low rates of skin phototoxicity...
[Hyperbaric oxygen inhibits neutrophil infiltration and reduces postischemic brain injury in rats].
Abstract: Reversible occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used to test hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen inhibits the neutrophile infiltration into the ischemic brain thus reducing the brain injury. Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen prior to ischemia or...
[Extra-oral implants and irradiation: current trends].
Abstract: Recommended treatment for head and neck cancer associates surgery and radiotherapy. Indication for bone-anchored epitheses in irradiated patients is also a common situation. The outcome of the implant appears to be improved with a special protocol for...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on striatal metabolites: a microdialysis study in awake freely moving rats after MCA occlusion.
Abstract: We have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) reduced cerebral infarction in rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO). The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of HBO on ischemic striatal metabolites at different times after MCAO and...
Pulmonary edema associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: We report three cases of pulmonary edema associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, including one fatality. All three patients had cardiac disease and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (EFs). Two patients had diabetes, and one patient had...
Management of advanced mandibular osteoradionecrosis with free flap reconstruction.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of free tissue transfer for treatment of advanced mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in head and neck cancer patients. We reviewed 29 patients who were treated for advanced mandibular ORN by radical...
Pulmonary edema associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: We report three cases of pulmonary edema associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, including one fatality. All three patients had cardiac disease and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (EFs). Two patients had diabetes, and one patient had...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for severe ulcerative colitis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used to successfully treat perineal Crohn's disease. We describe the first successful use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, refractory to conventional therapies. Therapy consisted of 30...
