Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Self-expandable covered metal tracheal type stent for sealing cervical anastomotic leak after esophagectomy and gastric pull-up: pitfalls and possibilities.
Abstract: From January 2003 to June 2006, 6 patients with leakage of the cervical esophagogastrostomy after esophagectomy and gastric pull-up underwent endoscopic stenting using the self-expandable covered tracheal type device. Anastomotic healing...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves spatial learning and memory in a rat model of chronic traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: In the present experiment we use a rat model of traumatic brain injury to evaluate the ability of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve behavioral and neurobiological outcomes. The study employed an adaptation of the...

[Bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaws].
Abstract: The osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) has been reported occasionally in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, bisphosphonate (BP)-associated ONJ in patients with cancer such as multiple myeloma, breast cancer...
Migraine prevalence, disease burden, and the need for preventive therapy
Abstract Objectives: 1) To reassess the prevalence of migraine in the United States; 2) to assess patterns of migraine treatment in the population; and 3) to contrast current patterns of preventive treatment use with recommendations for use from an...
Pulmonary overinflation syndrome in an underwater logger.
Abstract: Pulmonary overinflation syndrome (POIS) is a group of barotrauma-related diseases caused by the expansion of gas trapped in the lung, or over-pressurization of the lung with subsequent over-expansion and rupture of the alveolar air sacs....
Therapeutic effects of hyperbaric oxygen in a rat model of endothelin-1-induced focal cerebral ischemia.
Abstract: It has been established that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment reduces brain edema, decreases infarct volume, contributes to neurological functional recovery and suppresses apoptosis in suture-induced focal cerebral ischemic animal...
Open wound chronic skin graft-vs-host disease. Are these wounds ischemic?
Abstract: cGVHD is a major problem after allogeneic HSCT. Skin is the most frequently affected organ, and manifestations are highly variable reflecting the four anatomic levels of skin involvement. In the severe form when damage and fibrosis...
Improved quality of life with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with persistent pelvic radiation-induced toxicity.
Abstract: We report the results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) used in the treatment of radiation-induced persistent side-effects after the irradiation of pelvic tumours. Between January 2001 and December 2005, 13 women (median age 60.3 years)...
