Clinical studies of hypoxia modification in radiotherapy.
Abstract: Hypoxic modification has been the subject of investigations in clinical radiation oncology since the early 60s. To date, this has not yet resulted in a treatment that has been widely accepted. Logistics and technical difficulties limit the routine use of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cyclophosphamide induced refractory hemorrhagic cystitis in a child.
Abstract: Bratsas, Stephanides, Spyropoulos, Zachariades, Androulakakis, , , , (2004). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cyclophosphamide induced refractory hemorrhagic cystitis in a child. The Journal of urology, 2004...
Ultraflex stent–benefits and risks in ultimate palliation of advanced, malignant stenosis in the esophagus.
Abstract: Sophisticated endoscopical palliation in end-stage malignant stenosis of the esophagus and gastroesophageal-junction must be weighed against associated morbidity and mortality. In a prospective study we investigated benefits and risks of one type of coated,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic brain injury: a systematic review of the evidence.
Abstract: To identify the benefits and harms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, HealthSTAR, CINAHL, MANTIS, professional society databases, and reference lists. Databases were searched from...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in orthopedic conditions.
Abstract: As is well known, the origins and development of hyperbaric medicine are closely tied to the history of diving medicine. Our HBO2 studies stemming from diving medicine date back to 1972. We concentrated our early basic research on dysbaric osteonecrosis....

Headache and facial pain in scuba divers.
Abstract: Headache occasionally occurs during or after scuba diving. Although its significance often is benign, headache may signal a serious neurological disorder in some circumstances. In addition to the usual causes of headache, the diagnostic evaluation should...
Hyperbaric oxygen solution infused into the anterior interventricular vein at reperfusion reduces infarct size in swine.
Abstract: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that raising myocardial O2 via diffusion of a hyperbaric oxygen solution (AO) administered through the anterior interventricular vein (AIV) will reduce infarct size by reducing reperfusion injury associated with...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment does not affect left ventricular chamber stiffness after myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis.
Abstract: It has been shown that transient increase in left ventricular stiffness, assessed by Doppler-derived early filling deceleration time, occurs during the first 24 to 48 hours after myocardial infarction but returns to normal within several days. It has been...
