TCOMs as a screening tool for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2), often referred to as TCOM, is a noninvasive measurement of oxygen tension in the tissue via a heated electrode. TCOMs can be used prior to beginning hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to determine if the patient has adequate...
Investigation of pulmonary epithelial permeability in patients after hyperbaric oxygen therapy by 99mTc diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid aerosol inhalation lung scintigraphy.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of pulmonary epithelial permeability damage in patients after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) by 99mTc diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) aerosol inhalation lung scintigraphy. Twenty-five...

Oxygen toxicity from plants to people.
Abstract: Over the past 30 years, acute oxygen toxicity in plants, mammals and enteric bacteria has been defined in terms of specific interactions of oxygen with a limited number of molecular targets. At least in the case of plants and mammals, response at the level...
Preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen and hyperoxia induces tolerance against spinal cord ischemia in rabbits.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine if the ischemic tolerance could be induced in the spinal cord by pretreatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and what components of HBO (hyperoxia, hyperbaricity, and combination of these two) were critical in the...
Denervation techniques.
Abstract: The bladder can be denervated at several levels: centrally, at the level of the sacral nerves; peripherally, on the pelvic nerves; or in the bladder, by cutting the relevant structures, by injecting substances toxic to nerves, or by hyperbaric bladder...
Refractive change during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A clinical trial including ultrasound oculometry.
Abstract: To record changes in refraction and refractive parameters associated with a standard hyperbaric oxygen treatment protocol consisting of a 95 min session at > 95% oxygen at 2.5 atmospheres (ATA) given daily Monday to Friday, to a total of 30 sessions....
Oxygenation measurements in head and neck cancers during hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia has proven prognostic impact in head and neck cancers and is associated with poor response to radiotherapy. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) offers an approach to overcome hypoxia. We have performed pO2 measurements in selected patients with head...
The effects of radiotherapy on maxillofacial tissue.
Abstract: Radiation therapy for the treatment of maxillofacial tumours can lead to delayed complications. One of the most severe complications is osteoradionecrosis (ORN), which can cause orocutaneous fistulae, exposed mandible and considerable pain. The condition can...
