The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treatment of leg ulcers.
Abstract: Batora, Batorova, Zimanova, Ulicna, Gavornik, Gaspar, , , (2006). The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treatment of leg ulcers. Bratislavske lekarske listy, 2006 ;107(1-2):40. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16771137
Conservative management of necrotizing fascitis in children.
Abstract: Necrotizing fascitis (NF) is a severe infection of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia affecting children and adults. Conventional management includes resuscitation, aggressive debridement of necrotic tissue, and sometimes, additional...
[Transcutaneous oxygen tension in hyperbaric condition as a predictor of ischaemia in non-healing diabetic foot ulcers].
Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of basal and modify transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (TcpO2) to diagnosis of ischaemia and indication of angiography in non-healing diabetes foot ulcers: 69 patients with...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tumour growth in a mouse model of colorectal cancer liver metastases.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy involves the administration of 100% oxygen at high pressure. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions including non-healing wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, and as an adjuvant to radiotherapy or...
An experimental study of the use of hyperbaric oxygen to reduce the side effects of radiation treatment for malignant disease.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used for more than 20 years to assist wound healing in the treatment of the more severe complications associated with the side effects of therapeutic radiation treatment. A prospective study was performed...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cytochrome C, Bcl-2 and Bax expression after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats.
Abstract: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the neuronal apoptosis at an earlier stage and the expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2 family) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) in rat brain...
Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy using gamma unit after hyperbaric oxygenation on recurrent high-grade gliomas.
Abstract: To reduce this complication and to enhance the radiation effect to hypoxic cells of high-grade gliomas, the authors performed noninvasive fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) using a Gamma unit combined with hyperbaric oxygen...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cytochrome C, Bcl-2 and Bax expression after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats.
Abstract: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the neuronal apoptosis at an earlier stage and the expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2 family) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) in rat brain...
Hyperbaric oxygen as a treatment for malabsorption in a radiation-damaged short bowel.
Abstract: Radiation enteritis can be challenging to diagnose and treat. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in 1978 and treated with hysterectomy and post-operative radiotherapy....
