Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of sternal wound infection.
Abstract: Sternal wound dehiscence and infection are major problems for patients and health care providers. A range of risk factors, including diabetes, obesity and internal thoracic artery harvest, has been implicated. Several pathophysiological...
A new approach in the management of chronic nonhealing leg ulcers.
Abstract: Chronic leg ulcers are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment is being evaluated in the management of nonhealing leg ulcers to improve skin graft survival. Twenty-seven patients with 36...
Review of treatment options for lyme borreliosis.
Abstract: Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease) is the most common tick-borne bacterial infection and the incidence is increasing in parts of Europe and the USA. Prompt antimicrobial therapy using oral agents such as doxycycline or amoxicillin is...
Hyperbaric oxygen should not be used in the management of hemorrhagic cystitis in patients with Fanconi anemia.
Abstract: Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a common complication after stem cell transplantation (SCT) that occurs more frequently in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) because of hypersensitivity of their cells to the agents used in the preparation for...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen exposure on experimental hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury: relationship between its timing and neutrophil sequestration.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) reduces neutrophil endothelial adherence in venules and also blocks the progressive arteriolar vasoconstriction associated with ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury in the...
Hyperbaric oxygen inhibits benign and malignant human mammary epithelial cell proliferation.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy is the administration of 100%-inhaled oxygen to patients at increased atmospheric pressure. We used an in vitro model to examine the effects of HBO on mammary cell proliferation. Normal mammary...
Headache and altitude decompression sickness: joint pain or neurological pain?
Abstract: Exposure to reduced ambient pressure may result in decompression sickness (DCS). Headache is among the DCS symptoms encountered and is usually regarded as neurological DCS, which is traditionally classified as serious DCS. Since cranial...
A combination of radiotherapy, nitric oxide and a hyperoxygenation sensitizing protocol for brain malignant tumor treatment.
Abstract: Brain malignant tumor such as glioblastoma is a challenging medical and surgical problem. In spite of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the prognosis is still very poor. The limitations of currently available treatment modalities to...
