Extracorporeal shockwave treatment for chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: This prospective study compared extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in chronic diabetic foot ulcers. Seventy-two patients with 72 chronic diabetic foot ulcers were randomly divided into two groups of similar...
The effect of oxygenation level on cerebral post-traumatic apoptotsis is modulated by the 18-kDa translocator protein (also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor) in a rat model of cortical contusion.
Abstract: Hyperbaric hyperoxia has been shown to reduce apoptosis in brain injury. As the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), also known as peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor, is closely associated with the mitochondrial transition pore and because of its role in...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tumor growth in murine model of PC-3 prostate cancer cell line.
Abstract: To test the hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has no effect on tumor growth in a murine model of indolent in vivo prostate cancer. HBO means breathing pure (100%) oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Human prostate PC-3 cells were injected into...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of chronic refractory radiation proctitis: a randomized and controlled double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up.
Abstract: Cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy remain at life-long risk of radiation-induced injury to normal tissues. We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen...

Abstract: Cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy remain at life-long risk of radiation-induced injury to normal tissues. We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen...
Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis with and without thoracic extension: management strategies and outcome.
Abstract: First objective was to review cases of craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis (CCNF) at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center (Detroit, MI) for the last 18 years. Second was to analyze patients with and without thoracic extension for contributing...
The radiation dose-response of the human spinal cord.
Abstract: To characterize the radiation dose-response of the human spinal cord. Because no single institution has sufficient data to establish a dose-response function for the human spinal cord, published reports were combined. Requisite data were dose and...
FOURNIER’S gangrene: the development of a classical pathology.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis, especially when termed Fournier's gangrene (FG) when it initiates at the perineum, is a rare but rapidly progressive subcutaneous tissue infection characterized by extensive necrosis. Although it has been known for more than a century...
