Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Smoke inhalation-induced alveolar lung injury is inhibited by hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Smoke-induced lung injury in rats was assessed in terms of histopathology, gross mortality, neutrophil accumulation and as capillary leak. Administration of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), 2.8 atm abs for 45 min, inhibited adhesion of...
Interventions for replacing missing teeth: hyperbaric oxygen therapy for irradiated patients who require dental implants.
Abstract: Dental implants offer one way to replace missing teeth and associated tissues. Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and those that have also undergone surgery for cancer may benefit particularly from reconstruction with implants....
Débridement. The key initial first step in wound healing.
Abstract: Before addressing a wound, whether it is chronic or acute, clinicians must thoroughly assess the wound and the patient. An acute wound in a patient with normal blood flow and good medical and nutritional condition should go on to heal if...
Adjuncts to preparing wounds for closure: hyperbaric oxygen, growth factors, skin substitutes, negative pressure wound therapy (vacuum-assisted closure).
Abstract: Achieving closure in a chronic wound requires provision of adequate oxygen delivery to the tissue, adequate protein and other nutritional factors, a moist environment, an appropriate inflammatory milieu, dèbridement, and correction of...
Aseptic osteonecrosis in a child with nephroblastoma healed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Bernbeck, Krauth, Scherer, Engelbrecht, Göbel, , , , (2002). Aseptic osteonecrosis in a child with nephroblastoma healed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Medical and pediatric oncology, 2002...
Occupational burns from oxygen resuscitator fires: the hazard of aluminum regulators.
Abstract: There have been over 30 incidents of oxygen resuscitator fires over the last 6 years, causing severe burns to a number of fire fighters, emergency medical service personnel, health care workers, and patients. The National Institute for...
Pluripotency of mesenchymal stem cells derived from adult marrow
Abstract We report here that cells co-purifying with mesenchymal stem cells--termed here multipotent adult progenitor cells or MAPCs--differentiate, at the single cell level, not only into mesenchymal cells, but also cells with visceral mesoderm,...
Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of radiation cystitis and proctitis.
Abstract: Chronic radiation cystitis and radiation proctitis are known complications of the use of radiotherapy in the treatment of pelvic malignancies. These complications are, in part, due to endothelial damage and decreased vascularity and...
