[Hyperbaric oxygen and radiotherapy: From myth to reality].
Abstract: Worldwide, more than a million people receive each year a curative radiotherapy. While local control and overall survival are steadily increasing, 5 to 15% of patients still develop above grade 2 late toxicities. Late toxicities treatments are complex....

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on the Nrf2 signaling pathway in secondary injury following traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: We investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on the Nrf2 signaling pathway in secondary injury following traumatic brain injury, using a rat model. An improved Feeney freefall method was used to establish the rat traumatic brain injury model....
