Hyperbaric oxygen improves tumor radiation response significantly more than carbogen/nicotinamide.
Abstract: This laboratory previously demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen and hyperbaric carbogen improved oxygenation in the R3230Ac tumor, but normobaric 100% O2 and carbogen did not. The current study assessed tumor growth after exposure to radiation plus either...

Abstract: Feldmeier, Court, Davolt, Stegmann, Heimbach, Sheffield, , , (1997). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 1997 Jun;116(6 Pt...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for radiation proctitis.
Abstract: Our objective was to assess, retrospectively, the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in radiation proctitis in all patients who have completed treatment for this disease at the Fremantle Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit. This unit is the only one of its kind in...
Postradiation osteonecrosis of the mandible: a long-term follow-up study.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the long-term progress of 26 patients who experienced postradiation osteonecrosis of the jaw between 1975 and 1989. Of 26 patients who had been previously managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a part of their...
Three dimensional image reconstruction of neuroanatomical structures: methods for isolation of the cortex, ventricular system, hippocampus, and fornix.
Abstract: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging allows volumetric quantification of a variety of neuroanatomical structures using two dimensional (2D) images as well as three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the brain and any of its constituent parts. Three-dimensional...
Cardiac performance during unilateral lumbar spinal block after crystalloid preload.
Abstract: The haemodynamic effects of crystalloid preload were evaluated in a randomised blind study in 20 ASA status I-II, 50-80 yr-old patients, undergoing unilateral spinal anaesthesia for leg surgery produced with low doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine. Baseline...
Wound healing and wound infection. What surgeons and anesthesiologists can do.
Abstract: Wound healing can be enhanced and wound infections prevented, often by simple, inexpensive, readily available means. Preoperative evaluation for impediments to healing, such as malnutrition, vasoconstriction, hyperglycemia, and steroid use, allows correction...
Postradiation osteonecrosis of the mandible: a long-term follow-up study.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the long-term progress of 26 patients who experienced postradiation osteonecrosis of the jaw between 1975 and 1989. Of 26 patients who had been previously managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a part of their...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the diabetic foot.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an adjunctive wound-healing modality receiving increasing use for problem wounds, particularly diabetic foot wounds. Nevertheless, few clinicians understand the physiologic basis for this modality; how patients are selected, or...
