Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Vacuum–a novel method for treating chronic wounds].
Abstract: Chronic wounds represent a major health burden and drain on resources. In spite of advances in our understanding of chronic wound biology and the development of new treatments, there is no one form of treatment suitable for all wounds and...
Spinal 2-chloroprocaine: a dose-ranging study and the effect of added epinephrine.
Abstract: With the availability of preservative- and antioxidant-free 2-chloroprocaine (2-CP), there may be an acceptable short-acting alternative to lidocaine for spinal anesthesia. We examined the safety, dose-response characteristics, and...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for neurologic emergency and neurosurgical diseases: a systematic review of the literature].
Abstract: I have reviewed reports concerning neurologic emergency and neurosurgical diseases adjunctively treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. Some clinical studies indicate the favorable effects of HBO therapy on the events at an...
[Anesthetic regimen for HIV positive parturients undergoing elective cesarean section].
Abstract: Worldwide, 50 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and 43% are women. Perinatal vertical transmission of HIV accounts for most new pediatric cases. Elective Cesarean delivery, combined antiretroviral...
Reliability of the NeuroTrend sensor system under hyperbaric conditions.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to investigate the reliability of the multi-parameter sensor NeuroTrend in a hyperbaric environment for up to 3bar absolute pressure. Measurement of brain tissue oxygenation (ptiO2) under hyperbaric conditions...
Usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to inhibit restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris.
Abstract: The purpose of this trial was to assess whether the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to percutaneous coronary intervention can reduce clinical restenosis. Major adverse cardiac events at 8 months were found in only 1 of 24 patients (4%) who...
[Perineal necrotizing cellulitis disclosing rectal adenocarcinoma].
Abstract: We report one case of rectal cancer disclosed by a perineal cellulitis in a diabetic woman. This infrequent association has a bad prognosis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical. Treatment is urgent with large spectrum antibiotic therapy,...
[Perineal necrotizing cellulitis disclosing rectal adenocarcinoma].
Abstract: We report one case of rectal cancer disclosed by a perineal cellulitis in a diabetic woman. This infrequent association has a bad prognosis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical. Treatment is urgent with large spectrum antibiotic therapy,...
Hyperoxygenation enhances the tumor cell killing of photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy.
Abstract: Tumor hypoxia, either preexisting or as a result of oxygen depletion during photodynamic therapy (PDT) light irradiation, can significantly reduce the effectiveness of PDT-induced cell killing. To overcome tumor hypoxia and improve tumor...
