Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Integrated brain restoration after ischemic stroke–medical management, risk factors, nutrients, and other interventions for managing inflammation and enhancing brain plasticity.
Abstract: Brain injury from ischemic stroke can be devastating, but full brain restoration is feasible. Time until treatment is critical; rapid rate of injury progression, logistical and personnel constraints on neurological and cardiovascular...
Cerebral gas embolism due to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Abstract: Cerebral gas embolism as a result of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is a rare complication and bares a high morbidity. A patient is presented who underwent an upper endoscopy for evaluation of a gastric-mediastinal fistula after...
Treatment of radiation retinopathy following plaque brachytherapy for choroidal melanoma.
Abstract: Radiation retinopathy and maculopathy are predictable complications resulting from exposure to any source of radiation, including external beam and plaque brachytherapy. Most choroidal melanomas are currently treated with plaque...
Waon Therapy Improves the Prognosis of Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
Abstract Background: We developed a Waon therapy (soothing warm therapy) and have previously reported that repeated Waon therapy improves hemodynamics, peripheral vascular function, arrhythmias, and clinical symptoms in patients with chronic heart...
Is it safe to use aluminum in the treatment of pediatric hemorrhagic cystitis? A case discussion of aluminum intoxication and review of the literature.
Abstract: In pediatric oncology patients, hemorrhagic cystitis can be a life-threatening complication of bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The treatment of this condition is often challenging and includes...
Albuterol metered dose inhaler performance under hyperbaric pressures.
Abstract: The weight change per actuation and aerosol particle size and number delivered by albuterol metered dose inhalers (MDIs) were measured in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber at pressures ranging from one atmosphere absolute (1 ATA, 0 feet of...
Hyperbaric oxygen, oxidative stress, NO bioavailability and ulcer oxygenation in diabetic patients.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) increases tissue oxygenation, thus serving as an adjunct therapy for diabetic wounds. However, in some patients there is insufficient increase in tissue O2. To investigate the pathophysiology of...
Systemic chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin plus regional hyperthermia and hyperbaric oxygen treatment for non-small cell lung cancer with multiple pulmonary metastases: preliminary results.
Abstract: The purpose of this retrospective case series was to evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of systemic chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin plus regional hyperthermia (HT) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) for non-small-cell...
Is simultaneous surgical management of advanced craniofacial osteoradionecrosis cost-effective?
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis is a serious complication of head and neck radiotherapy. Advanced cases are not amenable to periodic debridement, systemic antibiotics, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The authors sought to describe a cost-effective...
