Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Carcinoma of the cervix and the use of hyperbaric oxygen with radiotherapy: a report of a randomised controlled trial.
Abstract: A randomised controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen in the radiotherapy of Stage IIb and III carcinoma of cervix was performed between 1971 and 1980. Apart from an abstract giving an interim report in 1977, results have not been published....
Dynamic MR imaging of mandibular osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrotic bone has been characterised as hypovascular and metabolically inactive tissue with impaired perfusion. The present study was conducted to determine if dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging could provide additional...
A multidisciplinary, therapy-based, team approach for efficient and effective wound healing: a retrospective study.
Abstract: This paper presents a 4-year retrospective study (1994 to 1998) of therapy-based treatment outcomes for chronic wounds of all stages and most common etiologies. Treatment in this study consists of outpatient wound treatments given by...
Beta/Gamma EEG activity in patients with primary and secondary insomnia and good sleeper controls
Abstract Study objective: Several studies have shown that patients with insomnia exhibit elevated levels of Beta EEG activity (14-35 Hz) at or around sleep onset and during NREM sleep. In this study, we evaluated 1) the extent to which high...
Frostbite: pathogenesis and treatment.
Abstract: Frostbite, once almost exclusively a military problem, is becoming more prevalent among the general population and should now be considered to be within the scope of the civilian physician's practice. Studies into the epidemiology of...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: a pilot project.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy for children with cerebral palsy (CP) is not new. Research documenting the effects in this population has been anecdotal. We evaluated the effects of HBO2 therapy for 25 children (X = 5.6 +/- 1.6 yr) with...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment and pulmonary function.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment exposes the lungs to the potentially toxic effect of free oxygen radicals and may lead to impairment of pulmonary function. HBO2 significantly improves wound healing in patients with osteoradionecrosis...

[Susac syndrome: clinical and diagnostic approach. A new case report].
Abstract: The Susac syndrome is made up of the clinical triad: encephalopathy, visual and hearing defects. It is caused by microangiopathy of unknown origin affecting the small arteries of the brain, retina and cochlea. It is very uncommon. It...
Preservation of tumour oxygen after hyperbaric oxygenation monitored by magnetic resonance imaging.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been proposed to reduce tumour hypoxia by increasing the dissolved molecular oxygen in tissue. Using a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, we monitored the changes in MRI signal intensity...
