Modulation of wound healing response in chronic irradiated tissues.
Abstract: Radiation wounds represent some of the most difficult wounds to treat. Historically, there have been few nonsurgical options. Recent research suggests future potential of a therapeutic role for growth factors. Hyperbaric oxygen is currently widely used, but...

Air embolism with bilateral pneumothorax after a five-meter dive.
Abstract: After an emergency ascent from very shallow depth, a diver suffered a triad of symptoms after bilateral barotrauma of the lungs: air embolism with subsequent paraparesis, pneumomediastinum, and bilateral pneumothorax. This is the first case of its kind in 20...
Visual recovery from radiation-induced optic neuropathy. The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Optic neuropathy resulting in permanent visual loss is an infrequent delayed complication of radiation therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been used to treat such a complication, but its efficacy is controversial. We report a patient who presented...
[Treatment of the diabetic foot by hyperbaric oxygen].
Abstract: Diabetic foot wounds are consequences of the neuropathy and the small and large vessel disease that complicate diabetes. At the cellular level, the result is hypoxia which impairs wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may be a useful adjuvant to wound...
Oxy-helium treatment of severe spinal decompression sickness after air diving.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury in DCS after air diving is relatively frequent and often has late sequelae. U.S. Navy oxygen tables are sometimes not satisfactory. The advantage of using helium in these cases is based theoretically on its physical properties and has been...

Abstract: Diabetic foot wounds are consequences of the neuropathy and the small and large vessel disease that complicate diabetes. At the cellular level, the result is hypoxia which impairs wound healing. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may be a useful adjuvant to wound...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and squamous cell carcinoma cell line growth.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) promotes tissue healing by increasing oxygenation. Therefore, HBO therapy is clinically useful for some patients who have undergone major cancer resection and/or radiotherapy to the head and neck. For individual patients, however,...
New modality of radiation therapy under increased tumor oxygen tension with angiotensin II: a pilot study.
Abstract: Elevation of the mean arterial blood pressure to approximately 150 mmHg by infusion of angiotensin II (AT II) resulted in a selective increase of blood flow in tumor tissue. A concomitant increase in tumor oxygen tension was also observed, suggesting the...
