Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation induced proctopathy in men treated for prostate cancer.
Abstract: Radiation proctitis is a common complication following external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy for prostate cancer. While 95% percent of radiation induced proctitis is temporary and self-limiting, up to 5% of patients experience toxicities that are...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute coronary syndrome.
Abstract: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) includes acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. ACS is common and may prove fatal. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) will improve oxygen supply to the threatened heart and may reduce the volume of heart muscle that will...
Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjuvant treatment for malignant otitis externa.
Abstract: Malignant, or necrotising, otitis externa is a potentially fatal infection of the external ear canal and surrounding soft tissue and bone. It may be complicated by involvement of cranial nerves, principally the facial nerves and the contents of the jugular...
Tension pneumomediastinum after severe vomiting in a 21-year-old female.
Abstract: A 21-year-old female with chronic membranoproliferative nephritis was admitted for suspected esophageal disruption and asthma after severe, prolonged vomiting. At the time of admission she presented with dyspnea, tachypnea, arterial hypotension and...
Treatment of laryngeal radionecrosis with hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a case report.
Abstract: An 81-year-old male with early-stage laryngeal carcinoma had been treated with 60 Gy curative radiotherapy. He complained of a sore throat, foul odor in the mouth, progressive dyspnea, and fever 2 months after the completion of radiotherapy. Direct...
