Effects of human growth hormone in men over 60 years old
Abstract Background: The declining activity of the growth hormone--insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis with advancing age may contribute to the decrease in lean body mass and the increase in mass of adipose tissue that occur with aging. Methods: To test this...
[Cytogenetic effects of hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: This paper presents cytogenetic data obtained from peripheral blood of patients who were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) at 0.15-0.2 MPa for 40 min daily during 10 days. The patients showed a significant increase of chromosome aberrations mainly...
Glottic cancer: results of treatment with radiotherapy in air and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: This paper is a retrospective analysis of 397 patients with glottic cancer, in which 240 patients were treated in air, and 157 patients in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber (HBO). The three principal dose/time schedules in air and HBO are contrasted, and shown to...
[The prospects for the sequential use of hyperbaric oxygenation and muscle electrostimulation for the rehabilitation of patients with nerve injuries].
Abstract: The authors propose to use hyperbaric oxygenation followed by muscle electrostimulation for rehabilitation after nervous diseases and injuries. This combination of procedures proceeds from reduced thresholds of muscle electric excitability evident from the...
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and refractory osteomyelitis.
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the care of the diabetic patient with nonhealing ulcers, refractory osteomyelitis, or both of the lower extremity can be a valuable adjunct in their overall treatment. Adequate tissue oxygenation to promote wound...

[The results of the combined treatment of patients with dust-induced bronchitis].
Abstract: A study in 84 patients with dust-induced bronchitis receiving combined drug treatment, hyperbaric oxygenation, hypobarotherapy and artificial speleotherapy indicates that the first place by its efficacy is occupied by artificial speleotherapy resulting in an...
Barotrauma and air embolism in hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: A 69-year-old woman underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy because of a nonhealing ulcer of her foot. During decompression, she developed a left-sided hemiplegia and confusion. Recompression resulted in transient neurologic improvement, but she eventually...
Adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen on [3H]uridine incorporation and uridine kinase activity in B104 rat neuroblastoma cells.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on uracil nucleotide metabolism in B104 rat neuroblastoma cells were investigated. Cells exposed to 10 atm O2 for 4 h incorporated markedly less [3H]uridine into the acid-soluble fraction and RNA compared to cells kept in...
