Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of radio-induced lesions in normal tissues: a literature review.
Abstract: Late complications are one of the major factors limiting radiotherapy treatment, and their treatment is not codified. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used in combination with radiotherapy for over half a century, either to maximise its effectiveness or in...
Rheumatoid arthritis: regulation of synovial inflammation
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that presents as a symmetric polyarthritis associated with swelling and pain in multiple joints, often initially occurring in the joints of the hands and feet. Articular inflammation...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for reduction of secondary brain damage in head injury: an animal model of brain contusion.
Abstract: Cerebral contusions are one the most frequent traumatic lesions and the most common indication for secondary surgical decompression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiology of perilesional secondary brain damage and evaluate the value of...

Advances in the treatment of the diabetic foot: Is there a role for adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Abstract: There have been many advances in the treatment of wounds made in the last decade. Innovative techniques of wound closure, topical agents, aggressive vascular repair, focused wound care management, and adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy are but a few of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, recurrent and progressive illness with no cure. On the basis of speculative pathophysiology, it has been suggested that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may slow or reverse the progress of the disease. The object of this...
Successful treatment of radiation induced breast ulcer with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: The purpose of this report was to investigate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in the management of a persisting radiation induced ulcer following standard breast irradiation. A 57-year-old Caucasian patient was referred following partial...
Wound care for elderly patients: advances and clinical applications for practicing physicians.
Abstract: Chronic ulcers (wounds) are commonly encountered in medical practice, particularly in elderly patients who have chronic medical conditions. Health care providers must be adept at diagnosing chronic ulcers and optimizing medical treatment. We describe the...
Clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy, wound perfusion, and transcutaneous oximetry.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an important adjunct in the management of problem wounds which exist in chronic oxygen deficiency and in which the local oxygen tension is below optimal for healing. In the treatment of hypoxic and ischemic wounds, the...
