Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Changes in vasomotion–effect of hyperbaric oxygen in patients with diabetes Type 2.
Abstract: To investigate vasomotion in diabetic patients who underwent sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy. Seventy-one patients with diabetes Type 2 and lower-extremity neuropathy were enrolled in a prospective matched case-control study....
Targeting hypoxia to overcome radiation resistance in head & neck cancers: real challenge or clinical fairytale?
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia is a major cause for failure of therapy in patients with inoperable head and neck cancers. Various anti-hypoxic treatment strategies (e.g. hyperbaric oxygenation, hypoxic cell sensitizers) have been tested in clinical trials...
The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease at 25 years
Abstract Despite continuing debate about the amyloid β-protein (or Aβ hypothesis, new lines of evidence from laboratories and clinics worldwide support the concept that an imbalance between production and clearance of Aβ42 and related Aβ peptides...
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Inhibits Growth-related Decrease in Muscle Oxidative Capacity of Rats with Metabolic Syndrome.
Abstract: We examined the effects of mild hyperbaric oxygen on the properties of the soleus muscle in rats with metabolic syndrome. Five-week-old metabolic syndrome (SHR/NDmcr-cp, cp/cp) rats were divided into normobaric (CP) and mild hyperbaric...
Hyperbaric Oxygen as Radiation Sensitizer for Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oropharynx: A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study.
Abstract: To explore, in a dose-escalation study, the feasibility of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments immediately before intensity modulated radiation therapy in conjunction with cisplatinum chemotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head...
Preoperative Glasgow Prognostic Score as additional independent prognostic parameter for patients with esophageal cancer after curative esophagectomy.
Abstract: Inflammation accelerates tumor growth followed by reduced survival in patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic relevance of preoperatively increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the...
Repeat spinal anesthesia in cesarean section: A comparison between 10 mg and 12 mg doses of intrathecal hyperbaric (0.05%) bupivacaine repeated after failed spinal anesthesia: A prospective, parallel group study.
Abstract: Spinal anesthesia for cesarean section is not a 100% successful technique. At times, despite straightforward insertion and drug administration, intrathecal anesthesia for cesarean section fails to obtain any sensory or motor block. Very...
Endocan reduces the malign grade of gastric cancer cells by regulating associated protein expression.
Abstract: Endocan, which has been identified to be low expressed in gastric cancer, was found to be positively related to the differentiation level of gastric cancer in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of...
