Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hypoxic radiosensitizers in radical radiotherapy for patients with bladder carcinoma: hyperbaric oxygen, misonidazole, and accelerated radiotherapy, carbogen, and nicotinamide.
Abstract: In animal models carbogen (normobaric 95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide) provides significant enhancement of local tumor control with fractionated radiotherapy. This approach to radiosensitization has been evaluated in the treatment of...
Cardiovascular effects of hyperbaric oxygen with and without addition of carbon dioxide.
Abstract: It is commonly believed that during hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment, in spite of the vasoconstriction induced by the increased O2 content in the breathing gas, the elevated carrying capacity of O2 in the arterial blood results in...
[Adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in cystoid macular edema–preliminary results].
Abstract: Krott, Heller, Heimann, , , , , , (1999). [Adjuvant hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in cystoid macular edema--preliminary results]. Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 1999...
Carcinoma of the larynx treated with hypofractionated radiation and hyperbaric oxygen: long-term tumor control and complications.
Abstract: To evaluate the long-term outcome with respect to local control, survival, and complications in a cohort of patients with locally advanced laryngeal carcinoma treated with hypofractionated radiation and hyperbaric oxygen at 4 atmospheres...
Acute and recurrent skin ulceration after spider bite.
Abstract: We reviewed the records of the Australian Venom Research Unit and The Alfred Hospital Department of Hyperbaric Medicine from January 1992 to July 1998 and found 15 cases of skin ulceration after spider bite that could be followed up with...
Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen induces cell cycle perturbation in prostate cancer cells.
Abstract: Cell cycle synchronization of tumor cells by exposure to hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) may increase the efficacy of chemotherapy or radiation by placing cells into a chemosensitive portion of the cycle. The purpose of the current study was...
Treatment of migraine with pulsing electromagnetic fields: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Abstract The effect of exposure to pulsing electromagnetic fields on migraine activity was evaluated by having 42 subjects (34 women and 8 men), who met the International Headache Society's criteria for migraine, participate in a double-blind,...
Hyperbaric oxygen corrects sacral plexopathy due to osteoradionecrosis appearing 15 years after pelvic irradiation.
Abstract: In 1982, a 55-year-old woman was treated by total cystectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy/chemotherapy for a leiomyosarcoma of the bladder. Fifteen years later she presented with symptoms and signs of sacral plexopathy. Investigations...
