Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Radiation myelopathy and plexopathy].
Abstract: Radiation myelopathy (RM) is a relatively rare disorder characterized by white matter lesions of the spinal cord resulting from irradiation. It is divided into two forms by the latent periods: transient RM and delayed RM. The delayed RM...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the management of diabetic lower limb wounds.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves the inhalation of 100 percent oxygen at pressures greater than at sea level. One of the most common indications for HBOT is to aid healing of diabetic foot wounds. All cases of diabetic foot...
Adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of hemodialysis patients with chronic osteomyelitis.
Abstract: Hemodialysis dependence is an independent risk factor for hematogenous complication, including distant metastatic infection and osteomyelitis. Chronic osteomyelitis is a serious disease that fails to respond to aggressive medical and...
Necrotizing fasciitis following transobturator tape treated by extensive surgery and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: The transobturator sling procedure (TVT-O) was developed to minimize surgical risks involved in treating genuine stress incontinence. All data suggest that most risks associated with the retropubic route such as injuries to the bladder,...
Resting and reactive frontal brain electrical activity (EEG) among a non-clinical sample of socially anxious adults: does concurrent depressive mood matter?
Abstract A number of studies have noted that the pattern of resting frontal brain electrical activity (EEG) is related to individual differences in affective style in healthy infants, children, and adults and some clinical populations when symptoms...
Modern concepts of the diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially fatal infection involving rapidly progressive, widespread necrosis of the superficial fascia. The purpose of this collective review is to review modern concepts of the treatment and diagnosis of...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on squamous cell cancer growth and tumor hypoxia.
Abstract: Anecdotal studies have reported explosive tumor growth in patients with a history of squamous cell carcinoma after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment. Conflicting experimental results have followed. In this study, squamous cancer cells...
Can hyperbaric oxygenation decrease doxorubicin hepatotoxicity and improve regeneration in the injured liver?
Abstract: Portal vein embolization is used in the treatment of hepatocellular cancer, with the purpose of enhancing resectability. However, regeneration is restricted due to hepatocellular injury following chemotherapeutics (e.g. doxorubicin). The...
[Long-term results of the use of hyperbaric oxygenation in patients with acute myocardial infarction].
Abstract: Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on mortality and rate of development of reinfarctions during 24 month follow-up was studied in 129 otherwise conventionally treated patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These patients...
