Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a case of post-total body irradiation colitis.
Abstract: We report a 21-year-old man who experienced symptoms of colitis following autologous TBI-conditioned PBSC transplantation, which persisted despite conventional treatment. Abdominal echography showed a thickened, stratified wall of the cecum, of the right...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on survival after global cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been considered for many years for the treatment of severe brain ischemia. However, its efficacy has not been proven. The aim of this study was to shed light on this question. Acute global cerebral ischemia was induced in 18...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of migraine with aura.
Abstract: Cephalalgia is one of the most common medical complaints and the search continues for relief. Early treatments for migraine included inhalation of 100% oxygen. It has been theorized that the increased levels of oxygen in the blood act as an alpha-adrenergic...
Cardiovascular effects of two different regional anaesthetic techniques for unilateral leg surgery.
Abstract: Cardiovascular function was assessed in 20 ASA I-II patients, scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery with tourniquet in order to compare the haemodynamic changes induced by unilateral spinal anaesthesia and combined sciatico-femoral nerve block. After...
Topical hyperbaric oxygen and low energy laser for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Fifty patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers in whom conventional therapy had failed were treated with topical hyperbaric oxygen alone (15 patients) or in combination with a low energy laser (35 patients). Eleven of these patients were treated on an...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment enhances regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve was studied. The sciatic nerve was crushed with a pair of pliers and the animals were either left untreated or subjected to a series of 45-min exposures to 100% O2 at...
Use of the fixed mandibular implant in oral cancer patients: a retrospective study.
Abstract: A retrospective review of the fixed mandibular implant (FMI) in oral cancer patients is presented. Success of the device and associated complications are discussed. Eighteen oral cancer patients with an FMI were identified. All were treated at a single...
