Hyperbaric oxygen and radiotherapy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure of at least 1.5 atmospheres absolute (150 kPa). It uses oxygen as a drug by dissolving it in the plasma and delivering it to the tissues independent of hemoglobin. For a variety...
Multiple hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) expands the therapeutic window in acute spinal cord injury in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been reported to improve neurological recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the present study, we examined whether multiple HBO expands the therapeutic window for acute SCI. Single HBO (2.8 ATA, 1 hour)...
Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of early-phase Dupuytren’s contracture.
Abstract: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a proliferative disorder of autosomal-dominant inheritance, with variable penetrance of gene expression. The treatment of DD is challenging. Both operative and nonoperative approaches were reported for treatment of the disease,...
Controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for alkali corneal burn in the rabbit.
Abstract: To evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of alkali-induced corneal burns in an animal model. Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into a control group (n = 12) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment group (n = 12). After induction of...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the bout of treatment for soft tissue infections.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is often combined with antibiotic therapy for infections such as gas gangrene and osteomyelitis. Although numerous investigations have been undertaken to assess the effect of adjunctive HBO therapy on the treatment of...
[Spinal anesthesia in a patient with hemiparesis after poliomyelitis].
Abstract: A seventy-year-old man who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P), had carried over the palsy after poliomyelitis inflicted at one year of age. Spinal anesthesia using with 7 mg of hyperbaric tetracaine with dextrose solution was performed...
Is primary chronic osteomyelitis a uniform disease? Proposal of a classification based on a retrospective analysis of patients treated in the past 30 years.
Abstract: Primary chronic osteomyelitis of the jaw is a rare, non-suppurative, chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. To date, classification is confusing due to a non-uniform terminology. The aim of this study was to establish a simple (clinical)...
Hyperoxemic perfusion for treatment of reperfusion microvascular ischemia in patients with myocardial infarction.
Abstract: In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) primary angioplasty and stent placement is a more effective and better tolerated treatment than thrombolysis, and therefore, when logistics allow, this treatment is preferred and routinely used. However,...
Therapeutic window for use of hyperbaric oxygenation in focal transient ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is an attractive procedure that has been used frequently in cerebral ischemia. However, depending on the model of cerebral ischemia and HBO protocol, different and conflicting results were obtained in the past. This study was...
