Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been advocated as a therapy to improve neurological recovery after ischemia, since HBO may improve tissue oxygen delivery. We examined the effect of HBO treatment after global cerebral ischemia on early brain injury. Rabbits were...
Abstract: The term gangrene of the male external genital organs is applied to two different entities : Primary gangrene of the external genital organs (5% of cases), also called Fournier's disease, first described in 1883 : gangrene of the integument of the external...
Abstract: The accepted treatment protocol for necrotizing fasciitis (NF) consists of extensive surgery and wide spectrum antibiotics. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been recommended as adjuvant therapy for NF, improving patient mortality and outcome. However, the...

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been proposed to reduce tumour hypoxia by increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma. That this actually occurs has not been verified experimentally. This study was performed to explore changes in tumour oxygenation...
Abstract: The potential therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) after rat peroneal nerve crush was evaluated. Animals were given 100% oxygen at 2.5 atmosphere absolute for 90 minutes twice daily for 1 week and then once daily for 1 week. Edema increased in...
Abstract: There are two undeniable attributes of radiotherapy: its value in controlling head and neck malignancies and the progressive damage it inflicts on all treated tissues. It is fortunate that over the past decade, we have developed techniques and treatments...
Abstract: 9 patients with osteoradionecrosis of the mandible were treated during 1975-1994. All primary tumor had received high dose external radiation or brachytherapy, using iridium-192 sources. In 6 patients the complication was triggered, shortly before or after...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen has been used in the management of perianal Crohn's disease on the assumption that tissue oxygenation is impaired. The Dead Sea region of Israel is the lowest point on earth (402 m below sea level), and therefore the oxygen pressure is...
