Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Possible application of hyperbaric oxygen technology in the management of urogenital and renal diseases.
Abstract: The purpose of this report is to explore possible therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) technology on renal and urogenital diseases. HBO(2) reduces inflammation, immunity and inflammatory cytokines, stimulates wound repair and...
[Carbon monoxide pulse oximetry vs direct spectrophotometry for early detection of CO poisoning].
Abstract: Direct spectrophotometry has been recognized as a standard reference method in the treatment of victims of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Recently, Masimo (USA) has developed a pulse oximeter for the detection of HbCO. Using new probes,...
Pharmacokinetic investigation of increased efficacy against malignant gliomas of carboplatin combined with hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: The efficacy of intravenous administration of 400 mg carboplatin/m(2) body surface area over 60 minutes combined with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy (0.2 MPa for 60 min) was investigated in 6 Japanese patients (aged 36-67 years)...
Retinal artery embolization during carotid angioplasty and carotid artery stenting: case report.
Abstract: A 69-year-old man presented with a rare case of retinal artery embolization, which occurred as a complication of carotid angioplasty and carotid artery stenting performed for recurrent cerebral infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging and...

Growth suppression of four cancer cells by hyperbaric nitrous oxide and methotrexate.
Abstract: Nitrous oxide concentration is easily controlled by respiratory ventilation. It suppresses bone marrow via the inhibition of thymidylate synthesis. The aim of this work was to determine the optimal pressure and exposure duration of...
Diabetes: foot ulcers and amputations.
Abstract: Diabetic foot ulceration is full-thickness penetration of the dermis of the foot in a person with diabetes. Severity is classified using the Wagner system, which grades it from 1 to 5. The annual incidence of ulcers among people with...
Effect of BEMER magnetic field therapy on the level of fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis: a randomized, double-blind controlled trial
Abstract Objectives: Electromagnetic field therapy has been reported to be beneficial in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with significant fatigue. This study was designed to evaluate the long-term effects of...
Chronic radiation enteritis.
Abstract: Chronic radiation enteritis is an increasing problem, as more patients receive radiotherapy as part of their cancer therapy and as the long-term survival of these patients improves. This review addresses the causes, investigation,...
