Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Successful treatment of rhinocerebral zygomycosis using liposomal nystatin.
Abstract: We describe a case of successful treatment of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a patient with multiple myeloma. Therapeutic strategies used included liposomal amphotericin, hyperbaric oxygen, GM-CSF and liposomal nystatin. Mileshkin, Slavin,...

Hyperbaric oxygen–an effective tool to treat radiation morbidity in prostate cancer.
Abstract: We report the results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) used in the treatment of radiation cystitis and proctitis following irradiation of prostate cancer. Between June 1995 and March 2000, 18 men (median age 71 years) with radiation...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of calciphylaxis: a case series.
Abstract: Calciphylaxis, also referred to as calcific uraemic arteriolopathy, is a syndrome associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and causes necrotic skin ulcers, often leading to a fatal outcome. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) therapy has...

Photosensitization with hematoporphyrin derivative compared to 5-aminolaevulinic acid for photodynamic therapy of esophageal carcinoma.
Abstract: Hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD) as sensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in advanced esophageal cancer carry the risk of prolonged photosensitivity of the skin. New sensitizers such as 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) with low rates of...
[Hyperbaric oxygen inhibits neutrophil infiltration and reduces postischemic brain injury in rats].
Abstract: Reversible occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used to test hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen inhibits the neutrophile infiltration into the ischemic brain thus reducing the brain injury. Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen...
[Extra-oral implants and irradiation: current trends].
Abstract: Recommended treatment for head and neck cancer associates surgery and radiotherapy. Indication for bone-anchored epitheses in irradiated patients is also a common situation. The outcome of the implant appears to be improved with a special...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on striatal metabolites: a microdialysis study in awake freely moving rats after MCA occlusion.
Abstract: We have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) reduced cerebral infarction in rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO). The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of HBO on ischemic striatal metabolites at different...
