Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of skin ulcers due to calcific uraemic arteriolopathy: experience from an Australian hyperbaric unit.
Abstract: Calcific uraemic arteriolopathy (CUA), also known as 'calciphylaxis', is a syndrome of ischaemic necrotic ulcers occurring in uraemic patients with end-stage renal failure. It is a debilitating condition with a high morbidity and...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment and bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw: a case series.
Abstract: Bisphosphonate (BP)-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is an emerging problem with few therapeutic options. Our pilot study of BP-ONJ investigated a possible role for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy. A total of 16 patients,...
The effects of the extent of spinal block on the BIS score and regional cerebral oxygen saturation in elderly patients: A prospective, randomized, and double-blinded study.
Abstract: Patients may become sedated with spinal anesthesia; however, the effect of the extent of spinal block on the Bispectral index (BIS), a processed electroencephalographic variable, has not been fully investigated. We evaluated the influence...
Improving neuropsychological function after chronic brain injury with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: One suggested treatment for chronic brain injury (CBI) is the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The present study was an evaluation of neuropsychological improvement after HBOT in CBI patients. Study 1 compared test - retest...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on survival of composite grafts in rats.
Abstract: Most treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in plastic surgery is for wounds, burns, crush injuries, and infections. We aimed to find out if HBO increases the survival of composite grafts in rats. Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly...
Necrotizing fasciitis in the head and neck region: an analysis of standard treatment effectiveness.
Abstract: A standard treatment procedure for necrotizing fasciitis in the head and neck region was introduced in 1999 at Rigshospitalet (National Hospital of Denmark) Copenhagen. The new procedure introduced more drastic surgical debridement than...
Hyperbaric oxygen: a novel technology for modulating myocardial schemia-reperfusion via a single drug.
Abstract: Over the years, the anecdotal medical use of oxygen has demonstrated, in a non-evidence-based manner, that it may have wide-ranging clinical consequences. Although oxygen is a critical substrate in the alleviation of hypoxia, anoxia, and...
