Fournier’s gangrene: 5 patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: The classic syndrome of Fournier's gangrene was observed in 5 men with involvement of the external genitals and lower abdominal wall. Mixed flora of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms were grown, and extensive necrosis of the skin and subcutaneous gas were...

[Lipid peroxidation in experimental myocardial infarct: the action of hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: Rats with experimental myocardial infarction demonstrated decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase and increase in the content of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products and Schiff bases both in and outside the area of necrosis. The combined...
Increased adrenal epinephrine and norepinephrine in spontaneously hypertensive rats treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Adrenal catecholamines were determined in Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY), and stroke-prone and stroke-resistant spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP, SHR) treated with hyperbaric oxygen for 90 minutes daily from 6 to 13 weeks of age. The animals were divided into...
The treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer with misonidazole, hyperbaric oxygen and irradiation: an interim report.
Abstract: Thirty-one patients with advanced inoperable squamous carcinoma of the mouth were treated in a pilot study with misonidazole (2.0 gm/m2) with each of six fractions of 6.0 Gy in hyperbaric oxygen at 3 ATA. The one and two year disease free survival was 48 and...
Hyperbaric pressure effects measured by growth of a transplantable tumor in the C3H/HeN mouse.
Abstract: Both hypobaric exposure at 0.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) and hyperbaric pressure exposure at 3.5-8 ATA slowed transplantable tumor growth. These experiments detailed the hyperbaric pressure exposure. C3H/HeN-MTV+ mice, bearing the 16/C transplantable murine...
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma at site of bone infarction in association with DCS.
Abstract: A malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed at the site of bone infarction in the right femur of a 51-year-old male who had worked as a helmet diver and had experienced two episodes of bends in his young days. The outcome was rapidly fatal despite amputation...
[Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts].
Abstract: In three patients traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts were observed. In one the cause was a barotrauma due to hyperbaric oxygenation with positive end-expiratory pressure. In the other two an accident was the cause. Expectant management is always indicated...
A pressure chamber for removing cryobiopsies from small laboratory animals.
Abstract: A pressure chamber for small laboratory animals was designed that can be operated up to 4 bar. It enables the removal of tissue cryobiopsies at liquid nitrogen temperatures during pressurisation. Relevant systemic parameters of the animals investigated, such...
