Hyperbaric oxygenation as a successful therapeutic approach in oral wound dehiscence after operative stabilization of an unstable post-traumatic odontoid non-union.
Abstract: The non-operative treatment of unstable traumatic Anderson's type II odontoid fractures has a high risk potential to develop non-unions. Even after operative stabilization literature reveals non-union rates up to 20%. Acute life threatening complications are...
Nuclear factor-kappaB transcription factor decoy treatment inhibits graft coronary artery disease after cardiac transplantation in rodents.
Abstract: Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor that upregulates adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and ELAM-1. We hypothesized the use of ex vivo pressure-mediated delivery of transcription factor decoys (TFD) to NF-kappaB binding sites would...
The evaluation of subatmospheric pressure and hyperbaric oxygen in ischemic full-thickness wound healing.
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy of subatmospheric pressure and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as adjuncts in the treatment of hypoxic full-thickness wounds in a rabbit model. We hypothesized that subatmospheric pressure and HBO independently are effective in improving...
Hyperbaric oxygen in trauma and surgical emergencies.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), that is the administration of 100% oxygen delivered under pressure, has a beneficial effect in several surgical conditions. Its use has been assessed and audited and its pharmacological effects demonstrated. It is appropriate...

Combined photodynamic therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation in carcinoma of the esophagus and the esophago-gastric junction.
Abstract: The photochemical reaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the presence of molecular oxygen. Due to anoxic regions in tumor tissue and vascular shutdown during PDT the efficiency is limited. Therefore, the use of hyperbaric oxygen which increases...
MRI evaluation of aseptic osteonecrosis in children over the course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The study aimed at MRI evaluation of aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in children over the course of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Retrospective analysis of 72 MRI studies in 20 children presenting with AON during chemotherapy. Two groups were differentiated:...
Quantifying the radiation exposure of nursing staff delivering hyperbaric oxygen therapy to grade IV neuroblastoma patients post 131I-MIBG therapy.
