The nitric oxide connection: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, becaplermin, and diabetic ulcer management.
Abstract: Clinical experience with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic ulcers has shown that wound hyperoxia increases wound granulation tissue formation and accelerates wound contraction and secondary closure. In addition to wound...
In vivo determination of tumor optical parameters in esophageal carcinoma.
Abstract: Dose dependence of light cannot be discussed on the basis of dose alone. On a more fundamental scientific level, the propagation of light in tissue depends on optical parameters of treated tumor tissue. In a prospective, nonrandomized study, in vivo optical...
Systematic reviews of wound care management: (3) antimicrobial agents for chronic wounds; (4) diabetic foot ulceration.
Abstract: Chronic wounds, including pressure sores, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other kinds of wounds, healing by secondary intention are common in both acute and community settings. The prevention and treatment of chronic wounds includes many strategies,...
Tumor hypoxia and anemia: impact on the efficacy of radiation therapy.
Abstract: The adverse effects of tumor hypoxia and anemia on the efficacy of radiation therapy have been increasingly recognized. In vitro data indicate that radiation therapy under hypoxic conditions is approximately one third as effective as that under normoxic...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the diabetic foot.
Abstract: Common causes for non-healing of diabetic foot ulcers are infection and/or ischaemia. Diabetic patients are compromised hosts as far as wound healing is concerned. Diabetes mellitus is associated with a defective cellular and humoral immunity. In particular,...
[The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in chronic obstructive bronchitis made in outpatient clinic].
Abstract: General clinical examination, external respiratory function investigation, antrovent pharmacological tests were performed in 68 patients aged 28-52 years with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) admitted to the rehabilitation center after hospital...
Use of hyperbaric oxygen chamber in the management of radiation-related complications of the anorectal region: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Abstract: This article was undertaken to present two cases of nonhealing ulcers that occurred after primary radiation therapy and local excision of suspected residual or recurrent anal carcinomas. Both patients responded favorably to hyperbaric chamber treatment....
