Abstract: Methylguanidine (MG) which is known as a uremic toxin, is synthesized from creatinine (Cre). We have clarified that active oxygen plays an important role on MG synthesis in vitro and in rat hepatocytes. On the other hand, hyperoxia is very injurious in...
Abstract: Twenty-nine patients with necrotizing fasciitis were treated from 1980 to 1988. This study evaluates how the addition of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to surgical treatment has affected mortality and the number of debridements required to achieve wound...
Abstract: Fasting mongrel dogs underwent hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment, and simultaneous HBOT and rt-PA treatment following prior experimental left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 2...
Abstract: Anaemia is an important factor in the response of some human tumours to radiotherapy. The outcome is also influenced by whether the treatment is given in air or high pressure oxygen (HPO). The present study examined the relationship between anaemia and...
Abstract: A 19-year-old man, who was involved in a motorcycle accident, sustained a combined bony and vascular injury to his right lower extremity that required emergency surgery. Postoperatively, the patient developed a life-threatening, necrotizing, soft-tissue...
Abstract: Decompression sickness (DCS) has been clinically classified as Type I (predominantly joint pain) or Type II (predominantly spinal cord lesions). We present 3 cases that are all characterized by severe (Type II) DCS with signs and symptoms of spinal cord...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has proven efficacious in the adjunct management of selected otolaryngologic problems: radiation therapy-induced osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone, malignant external otitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis and refractory...
Abstract: Patients with several diseases have been examined for detection of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood cells after 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at 0.15-0.20 MPa for 40 min. The present study reveals that HBO increases the level of chromosome...
Abstract Background: The declining activity of the growth hormone--insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis with advancing age may contribute to the decrease in lean body mass and the increase in mass of adipose tissue that occur with aging. Methods: To test this...
