Partial seizure provoked by hyperbaric oxygen therapy: possible mechanisms and implications.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) is used commonly for treatment of bone and soft-tissue radiation necrosis. It may be a potential therapy for radiation necrosis seen after brain irradiation. HBO2 risks include generalized tonic-clonic convulsions. We...
Rectourethral fistula after combination radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Abstract: To describe 6 cases of rectourethral fistula in patients treated with brachytherapy plus external beam radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer and subsequent rectal biopsies or rectal surgery. A retrospective chart review was undertaken of patients with...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of complications of irradiation in head and neck area.
Abstract: We have investigated the treatment results of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) to patients with radiation-induced tissue complications. Eight patients (1.4%) from 548 with head and neck cancers treated surgically with post- or preoperative radiotherapy or...
Weber’s syndrome and sixth nerve palsy secondary to decompression illness: a case report.
Abstract: We describe the first case of Weber's Syndrome to present as a manifestation of decompression illness in a recreational scuba diver. Weber's Syndrome is characterized by the presence of an oculomotor nerve palsy and contralateral hemiparesis. The patient was...
Effect of age and repeated hyperbaric oxygen treatments on vagal tone.
Abstract: To evaluate the influence of repeated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) exposures and age on vagal response to hyperbaric oxygenation, and to evaluate the timing of changes in vagal activity during the treatments. Open, controlled, non-randomized study. Heart rate...
