Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants.
Abstract: Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those that have also undergone surgery for cancer in the head and neck region may benefit particularly from reconstruction with implants....
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not potentiate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats.
Abstract: The current use of doxorubicin is regarded as an absolute contraindication for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy because of the increased risk of cardiotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether additional exposure to HBO2...
Safety and efficacy of permanent iodine-125 seed implants and carmustine wafers in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
Abstract: Effective treatment options are limited for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and survival is usually or=70, 125I seed activity>or=0.8 mCi/cm3 of tumor cavity, and age
Are pulmonary bleb and bullae a contraindication for hyperbaric oxygen treatment?
Abstract: Air cysts or blebs in the lungs may predispose pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) by causing air trapping when there is a change in environmental pressure. The changes in the environmental pressure are also seen during hyperbaric oxygen...
Hyperbaric oxygen reduces tissue hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: The usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric hyperoxia in acute ischemic stroke is being reexplored because both improve outcome in experimental cerebral ischemia. However, even the basic mechanisms underlying oxygen therapy...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning induces tolerance against brain ischemia-reperfusion injury by upregulation of antioxidant enzymes in rats.
Abstract: The present study examined the hypothesis that cerebral ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) is associated with an increase of antioxidant enzyme activity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-280 g, n=74)...
Probiotic Crescenza cheese containing Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus acidophilus manufactured with high-pressure homogenized milk.
Abstract: High-pressure homogenization (HPH) is one of the most promising alternatives to traditional thermal treatment of food preservation and diversification. Its effectiveness on the deactivation of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms in...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on flow-mediated vasodilation: an ultrasound study.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) by ultrasound examination. We studied 14 young patients without cardiovascular problems who underwent HBO...
Systemic inflammation caused by white smoke inhalation in a combat exercise.
Abstract: White smoke inhalation is an uncommon but potentially deadly cause of acute lung injury. No clinical spectrum or treatment protocol have been developed. Twenty patients accidentally been exposed to white smoke during military training...
