Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Genotoxic and protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen in A549 lung cells.
Abstract: The human lung cell line A549 is frequently used as an in vitro model for studying lung toxicity and genotoxicity of environmental mutagens and carcinogens. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been shown to be an excellent model for...
The negative effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at the acute phase of electrochemical esophageal burn induced by button battery ingestion.
Abstract: Ingestion of button battery, if lodges in esophagus, causes mucosal destruction in esophagus and may damage surrounding tissues due to electrochemical reactions which may lead to esophagus perforation, tracheosefageal fistula and other...
The vascular contribution in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract: The two major forms of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represent classic chronic inflammatory disorders, characterized by progressive destructive inflammation in the...
What’s new in burns and metabolism.

Essential role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase for mobilization of stem and progenitor cells
Abstract Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is essential for neovascularization. Here we show that the impaired neovascularization in mice lacking eNOS is related to a defect in progenitor cell mobilization. Mice deficient in eNOS (Nos3(-/-))...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of fecal incontinence secondary to pudendal neuropathy.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has several physiologic effects on damaged nerves in animal models, which lead to an improvement in neurologic function. Idiopathic fecal incontinence secondary to pudendal neuropathy is usually treated with...
[A case of emergency surgery in a patient with bronchial asthma under continuous spinal anesthesia].
Abstract: A 78-year-old male, observed for bronchial asthma, underwent two emergency operations within eight days. The first operation was performed under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained by sevoflurane-oxygen...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on ischemia-reperfusion injury: an experimental study in a rat musculocutaneous flap.
Abstract: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen is known to increase survival of ischemic tissue but its mechanism is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on a rat musculocutaneous flap versus...
A systematic overview of radiation therapy effects in urinary bladder cancer.
Abstract: A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several tumour types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described...
