Magnetic resonance imaging of hyperbaric oxygen treated rats with spinal cord injury: preliminary studies.
Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been performed to assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on experimental spinal cord injury in a rat animal model. A moderately severe injury, similar to Type III injury seen in humans (Kulkarni et al....
Hyperbaric oxygen effects on brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) envenomation in rabbits.
Abstract: Human loxoscelism was modeled in albino rabbits by injection of brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) venom, and the effects of daily or twice-daily hyperbaric oxygen treatment on wound healing were investigated. Lesions similar to those seen in humans...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on the bioelectric activity of the heart in long-term crush syndrome].
Abstract: A study was made of the effect of continuous hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on the ECG and the clinical status of 60 patients with crush syndrome. Of these, 15 persons had acute renal failure (ARF). Before the treatment was started, the patients demonstrated...
A multicenter, prospective study of fetal outcome following accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in pregnancy.
Abstract: We report the results of the first prospective, multicenter study of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in pregnancy. We collected and followed cases of CO poisoning occurring during pregnancy between December 1985 and March 1989. The sources of CO were...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation as a part of the treatment of chronic ulcerohemorrhagic colitis].
Abstract: 34 patients with chronic ulcerohemorrhagic colitis in exacerbation were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation in addition to the routine therapy. Two chambers model "Dräger" 1000 and 1200 were used. The total course of treatment included 10-12...
[Results of surgical treatment of cancer of the kidney with high surgical risk under hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: Refusal of operative intervention because of high operative risk not infrequently deprives the patients of the only chance to prolong survival. Surgical treatment under hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) creates adequate conditions for such operations as oxygen...
Current advances in reconstruction of the mandible in head and neck cancer surgery.
Abstract: Today's reconstruction of head and neck cancer related deformities is based on an in-depth knowledge of soft and hard tissue repair coupled with the technical ability to transplant and reorient soft and hard tissues into a functional and cosmetic improvement...
The effect of irradiation in air or in hyperbaric oxygen on the Fib/T tumor in WHT mice pretreated with a hypoxic gas mixture.
Abstract: The effect of exposing WHT mice bearing the Fib/T tumor to a low-oxygen environment (8, 10, and 15% oxygen) for 48 h or 72 h before irradiation was compared, using an in vitro colony-forming excision assay, to the effect obtained when mice were pretreated...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the radiation treatment of head and neck cancers.
Abstract: Published reports on the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the radiation therapy of head and neck cancer are reviewed. The weight of evidence, from randomised trials, is that it is of clinical value in the control of medium sized head and neck tumours. It is also...
