Effect of high dose intravenous ascorbic acid on the level of inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a major inflammatory joint disease that causes cartilage destruction , bone erosions, and joint destruction. Oxidative stress is elevated in RA patients implying reactive oxygen species (ROS) are possible mediators of tissue...
Hyperbaric oxygen for cerebral vasospasm and brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Abstract: The impact of acute brain injury and delayed neurological deficits due to cerebral vasospasm (CVS) are major determinants of outcomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) had been used to treat patients with SAH, the...
[Osteoradionecrosis of the jaw, presumably caused by a removable partial denture].
Abstract: An 81-years-old man developed a severe osteoradionecrosis of the mandible following surgery and radiotherapy in the head and neck area as a result of a carcinoma at the front ofthe floor of the mouth. Presumably, the osteoradionecrosis had been developed by...
High-grade glioma/glioblastoma multiforme: is there a role for photodynamic therapy?
Abstract: In the United States, the 5-year survival rate for patients of all ages with all types of brain tumors is approximately 20%, with the scale skewed toward even poorer survival in patients with gliomas. Although surgery and radiotherapy are primary treatment...
Body image and psychological outcome after severe skin and soft tissue infection requiring intensive care.
Abstract: Patients with severe skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) stay are commonly treated with antibiotics, surgery and in some centers also with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Long-term follow-up of body image and psychological...
Safe administration of hyperbaric oxygen after bleomycin: a case series of 15 patients.
Abstract: Supplemental oxygen has been reported to cause pulmonary complications after bleomycin. We describe the safe administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) after bleomycin in 15 patients. Paper and electronic records were reviewed for bleomycin-exposed patients...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreases blood pressure in patients with chronic wounds.
Abstract: A single session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) is known to act on the parasympathetic system and also increase the production of reactive oxygen species. However, the impact of a treatment series consisting of 20 to 40 sessions on blood pressure (BP)...
