Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on the anticancer effect of artemisinin on molt-4 human leukemia cells.
Abstract: Artemisinin selectively kills cancer cells which have more intracellular free iron than do normal cells. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) may be beneficial in the treatment of cancer. The hypothesis of this study was that HBO(2) enhances...
Does hyperbaric oxygen treatment have the potential to increase salivary flow rate and reduce xerostomia in previously irradiated head and neck cancer patients? A pilot study.
Abstract: Irradiated head and neck cancer survivors treated in the Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) Unit, Copenhagen University Hospital, spontaneously reported improvement of radiation-induced dry mouth feeling. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate...
The effects of pneumoperitoneum and head-up position on heart rate variability and QT interval dispersion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of pneumoperitoneum and head-up position on autonomic cardiac function changes during inhalational or total intravenous anesthesia by using the analysis of QT dispersion and heart rate...
Granulomatous amebic encephalitis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia successfully treated with multimodal antimicrobial therapy and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Acanthamoeba is the causative agent of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, a rare and usually fatal disease. We report a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed brain abscesses caused by Acanthamoeba during induction therapy....
Innovation and management of diabetic foot wounds.
Abstract: Recent innovations in the field of wound healing have created numerous advanced therapies from which clinicians may now choose. The challenge for the reconstructive surgeon is to ensure that these adjunct technologies are used according...
[Non-bacterial cystitis: principles, diagnostics and etiogenic therapy options].
Abstract: The therapy for non-bacterial cysitides is often based on purely symptom-oriented measures which in many cases relieve the patient's symptoms but cannot stop the chronic progression of the disease. The present article summarises the most...

The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of medically refractory soft tissue necrosis after penile brachytherapy.
Abstract: Soft tissue necrosis is reported in up to 26% of patients undergoing radiotherapy for penile cancer. Management options include local irrigation, wound debridement, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and analgesics. Refractory...
Is alpha wave neurofeedback effective with randomized clinical trials in depression? A pilot study
Abstract Frontal asymmetric activation has been proposed to be the underlying mechanism for depression. Some case studies have reported that the enhancement of a relative right frontal alpha activity by an asymmetry neurofeedback training leads to...
