Systemic chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin plus regional hyperthermia and hyperbaric oxygen treatment for non-small cell lung cancer with multiple pulmonary metastases: preliminary results.
Abstract: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of systemic chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin plus regional hyperthermia (HT) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)....
Is simultaneous surgical management of advanced craniofacial osteoradionecrosis cost-effective?
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis is a serious complication of head and neck radiotherapy. Advanced cases are not amenable to periodic debridement, systemic antibiotics, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The authors sought to describe a cost-effective approach for patients...
A rare trifocal presentation of Clostridium septicum myonecrosis.
Abstract: Gas gangrene or clostridial myonecrosis is a rare, life threatening infection of the muscle that is typically associated with recent surgery or trauma. It usually affects older individuals who suffer from vascular insufficiency or who are immunocompromised....

Effects of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen on oxidative stress in rats with type II collagen-induced arthritis.
Abstract: Arthritis was induced in 9-week-old female Dark Agouti rats by injecting type II collagen. Serum levels of the derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (dROMs), which are oxidative stress markers, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in arthritic rats that were...
Fasting induces preproghrelin mRNA expression in the brain and gut of zebrafish, Danio rerio
Abstract Ghrelin is a gut/brain hormone with a unique acyl modification and various biological functions in fish and mammals. In addition to its possible role as a circulating orexigenic factor, ghrelin has been shown to regulate several other physiological processes...
Low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy and SPECT brain imaging in the treatment of blast-induced chronic traumatic brain injury (post-concussion syndrome) and post traumatic stress disorder: a case report.
Abstract: A 25-year-old male military veteran presented with diagnoses of post concussion syndrome and post traumatic stress disorder three years after loss of consciousness from an explosion in combat. The patient underwent single photon emission computed tomography...

Oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke – experimental efficacy and molecular mechanisms.
Abstract: Hyperbaric (HBO) or normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy applied in acute ischemic stroke aims to increase oxygen supply to the ischemic tissue and to reduce the extent of irreversible tissue damage. Over the past decade, multiple studies have clarified the...
