Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Effects of antioxidant supplements and nutrients on patients with asthma and allergies
Abstract Asthma and allergic diseases have become a worldwide public health concern because of their increased prevalence. Despite decades of research on risk factors, the causes of these disorders are poorly understood. They are thought to develop...
Not just full of hot air: hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases survival in cases of necrotizing soft tissue infections.
Abstract: The utility of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in the treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) has not been proved. Previous studies have been subject to substantial selection bias because HBOT is not available universally...
Curious case of calciphylaxis leading to acute mitral regurgitation.
Abstract: Calciphylaxis is uncommon and typically seen in patients with end-stage renal disease. It has been defined as a vasculopathic disorder characterised by cutaneous ischaemia and necrosis due to calcification, intimal fibroplasia and...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and the possibility of ocular complications or contraindications.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen pressure and the concentration of reactive oxygen species in blood and tissues. Increased oxygen pressure may be beneficial in some diseases, such as in the treatment of diabetic leg ulcers and...
Exposure to an iridium-192 source in an industrial safety worker.
Abstract: Radiation burn injuries account for 0.2% of burn injury admissions. Treatment of radiation burns remains challenging because of unpredictable inflammatory changes and soft tissue necrosis. Conventional treatment consists of multistaged...
All the right moves: the need for the timely use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating TBI/CTE/PTSD.
Abstract: The modern age of hyperbaric medicine began in 1937; however, today few know about hyperbaric oxygen's effects on the body and medical conditions outside of diving medicine and wound care centers - a serious ethical issue as there are 20...
The influence of elevated levels of C-reactive protein and hypoalbuminemia on survival in patients with advanced inoperable esophageal cancer undergoing palliative treatment.
Abstract: Inflammation perpetuates individual tumor progression resulting in decreased survival in cancer patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) as well as low levels of albumin...

Releasing pressure in tumors: what do we know so far and where do we go from here? A review.
Abstract: Tumor interstitial pressure is a fundamental feature of cancer biology. Elevation in tumor pressure affects the efficacy of cancer treatment. It causes heterogenous intratumoral distribution of drugs and macromolecules. It also causes the...
