Sympathetic nervous and hemodynamic responses to lower body negative pressure in hyperbaria in men.
Abstract: The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that sympathetic nerve activity is attenuated in a hyperbaric environment. Response of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) to central circulatory hypovolemic stress, lower body negative pressure...
Hyperbaric oxygen and neutrophil accumulation/tissue damage during permanent focal cerebral ischaemia in rats.
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) for the treatment of severe brain ischaemia remains controversial. The HBO may interfere with destructive neutrophil (PMN) infiltration following ischaemia/reperfusion. The effects of HBO on PMN accumulation and the...
Necrotising fasciitis of the head and neck: a review of the literature.
Abstract: Necrotising fasciitis is a severe life threatening bacterial infection of the fascial planes which is relatively rare in the head and neck region. The hallmark of the disease is selective necrosis of the fascia overlying skin and adjacent vasculature....
Necrotising fasciitis of the head and neck: a review of the literature.
Abstract: Necrotising fasciitis is a severe life threatening bacterial infection of the fascial planes which is relatively rare in the head and neck region. The hallmark of the disease is selective necrosis of the fascia overlying skin and adjacent vasculature....
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen and normobaric carbogen on the radiation response of the rat rhabdomyosarcoma R1H.
Abstract: Hypoxic tumor cells are an important factor of radioresistance. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric carbogen (95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide) increase the oxygen delivery to tumors. This study was performed to explore changes of tumor oxygenation during a...
Successful treatment of rhinocerebral zygomycosis using liposomal nystatin.
Abstract: We describe a case of successful treatment of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a patient with multiple myeloma. Therapeutic strategies used included liposomal amphotericin, hyperbaric oxygen, GM-CSF and liposomal nystatin. Mileshkin, Slavin, Seymour, McKenzie,...

Hyperbaric oxygen–an effective tool to treat radiation morbidity in prostate cancer.
Abstract: We report the results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) used in the treatment of radiation cystitis and proctitis following irradiation of prostate cancer. Between June 1995 and March 2000, 18 men (median age 71 years) with radiation proctitis (n=7),...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of calciphylaxis: a case series.
Abstract: Calciphylaxis, also referred to as calcific uraemic arteriolopathy, is a syndrome associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and causes necrotic skin ulcers, often leading to a fatal outcome. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy has been used to enhance...
