Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of thermal burns: a review.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided in specially designed pressure chambers is currently the treatment of choice for decompression sickness, arterial gas embolism, and serious carbon monoxide poisoning. It is an important adjunct in the treatment of gas...
Pulmonary function of a firemen-diver population: a longitudinal study.
Abstract: Non smoking, male professional firemen-divers (n = 20) underwent two pulmonary function tests (PFT) separated by 8-9 years. Measured data were compared to European Coal Steel Community recommended reference values to permit cross-sectional and then...
[Risks of hydrogen peroxide irrigation in military surgery].
Abstract: Two cases of severe complications due to injection of hydrogen peroxide under pressure into areas of muscular attrition in war wounds are reported. In both cases the administration of hydrogen peroxide was associated with tachypnoea, with major arterial...
[Enhanced regeneration of terminal axons after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient resembling progressive postpoliomyelitis muscular atrophy].
Abstract: We found an electromyographical proof of reconstruction of the motor nerve terminals following hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A 38-year-old man who had been partially recovered for thirty four months from acute onset paraplegia following a gastrointestinal...
[Post-radiation duodenal ulceration treated with hyperbaric oxygen].
Abstract: Radiation enteric disorders are rare and difficult to treat. A case of radiation duodenitis treated by hyperbaric oxygen is reported. A sixty-year-old man underwent right nephroureterectomy, chemotherapy (platin and 5 fluorouracil) and radiation therapy (54...
Hypoxia and Carcinoma of the Cervix.
Abstract: The article examines current laboratory and clinical information with respect to the relative importance of tumor hypoxia to the radiation control of carcinoma of the cervix. Its impact is difficult to quantify because of interrelated important parameters,...
Evaluating intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Five years experience.
Abstract: A pilot study on intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) combined with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in nonresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was performed in 31 patients (mean age: 66.2 years, range: 51-80; 10 anatomically and...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy–an adjuvant therapeutic procedure with problem cases in reconstructive bone surgery].
Abstract: Prolonged and compromised wound-healing, i.e. in scar tissue or after irradiation, often causes problems, especially when free transplants, for example for bony reconstruction of the mandible after resection of tumor, are used. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy...
