Hyperbaric oxygen prevents bacterial translocation in thermally injured rats.
Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) on intestinal microflora and bacterial translocation (BT) caused by experimentally induced thermal injury in rats. Rats were separated into four groups, namely, HBO2 group, thermal...
Management of late complications of pelvic radiation in the rectum and anus: a review.
Abstract: Radiotherapy has become one of the most important treatment modalities for human malignancy. Tumors affecting the organs of the pelvis are increasingly being irradiated for local treatment benefit, with the subsequent complication of anorectal injury of...

A practical guide for patients undergoing exodontia following radiotherapy to the oral cavity.
Abstract: Dental extractions or minor oral surgery in patients who have undergone radiation therapy for cancer in the head and neck carry the risk of one of the most serious and devastating complications of head and neck radiotherapy, that of osteoradionecrosis (ORN)....
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: results of the Hyperbaric Oxygen in Acute Ischemic Stroke Trial Pilot Study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has promise as a treatment for acute stroke. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of using HBO in acute ischemic stroke. We conducted a randomized, prospective, double-blind,...
Optimal dosing as a necessary condition for the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischemic stroke: a critical review.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in clinical and experimental acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been controversial for many years. However, in the literature, no data was found on the dose/effect of HBOT in patients with AIS. We analyzed...
Prophylactic high dose methylprednisolone fails to treat severe decompression sickness in swine.
Abstract: Controlled decompression from saturation conditions is not always an option, particularly in a disabled submarine scenario. Hypothesis Prophylactic high dose methylprednisolone (MP) would improve outcome in severe cases of decompression sickness (DCS)....
[Descending necrotizing mediastinitis: a diagnosis not to miss].
Abstract: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a severe disease which occurs after a mild otorhinolaryngologic or dental infection. The diagnosis must be established rapidly with the help of clinical and computed tomography of the neck and chest data. Treatment is...
Hyperbaric oxygen as a chemotherapy adjuvant in the treatment of metastatic lung tumors in a rat model.
Abstract: The objectives of the study were to test the hypothesis that hyperbaric levels of oxygen enhance the sensitivity of a sarcoma cell line to doxorubicin (Adriamycin) both in vitro and in vivo in a rat model of pulmonary metastases and to test the feasibility...
