Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Efficiency of fleece-bound sealing (TachoSil) of air leaks in lung surgery: a prospective randomised trial.
Abstract: Persistent air leakage following pulmonary resection is a major limiting factor for discharge from hospital. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing capacity of TachoSil for the closure of alveolar air leaks following...
VIRTOPSY: minimally invasive, imaging-guided virtual autopsy.
Abstract: Invasive "body-opening" autopsy represents the traditional means of postmortem investigation in humans. However, modern cross-sectional imaging techniques can supplement and may even partially replace traditional autopsy....
Neurologic and radiologic manifestations of three girls surviving acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: We report the neurologic and radiologic manifestations of three adolescent girls with acute carbon monoxide poisoning. The girls were found collapsed and unconscious in a bathroom where liquid petroleum gas was being used as heating fuel....
The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in improving the quality of life in patients with problem wounds.
Abstract: The unpredictable course followed by severe, chronic, non-healing wounds not only restricts the daily activities of affected patients, but also impairs their quality of life (QOL). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment for such...
Hyperoxia retards growth and induces apoptosis and loss of glands and blood vessels in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors.
Abstract: This study investigated the effects of hyperoxic treatment on growth, angiogenesis, apoptosis, general morphology and gene expression in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors. One group of animals was exposed to normobaric hyperoxia (1 bar, pO2...
Phase II trial of radiotherapy after hyperbaric oxygenation with chemotherapy for high-grade gliomas.
Abstract: We conducted a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of radiotherapy immediately after hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) with chemotherapy in adults with high-grade gliomas. Patients with histologically confirmed high-grade...
Clinical experiences with bisphopsphonate induced osteochemonecrosis of the jaws.
Abstract: Bisphosphonates are frequently used drugs in the adjuvant therapy of bone metastases and tumour-induced hypercalcaemia, but also for osteoporosis or Pagets disease. Several publications within the last three years considered osteonecrosis...
Effects of infrared radiation on skin photo-aging and pigmentation
Abstract Infrared radiation is increasingly and uncritically used for cosmetic and wellness purposes, despite the poorly understood biologic effects of such treatments on humans. In the present study, we investigated the effects of infrared...
Hyperbaric oxygen combined with intravenous edaravone for treatment of acute embolic stroke: a pilot clinical trial.
Abstract: The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy combined with intravenous edaravone (free radical scavenger) administration was prospectively investigated in patients with acute embolic stroke involving the anterior cerebral circulation....
