Hyperbaric oxygen: does it promote growth or recurrence of malignancy?
Abstract: It has been a concern that a therapeutic modality recommended as an adjunct to healing and administered to promote proliferation of fibroblasts, epithelial cells and blood vessels in a wound could also lead to proliferation of malignant cells and...
Inhibition of apoptosis by hyperbaric oxygen in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model.
Abstract: The hypothesis was tested that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) reduced brain infarction by preventing apoptotic death in ischemic cortex in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: current trends and applications.
