Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
A modified protocol for early treatment of osteomyelitis and osteoradionecrosis of the mandible.
Abstract: The treatment of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and early chronic osteomyelitis (COM) of the mandible and maxilla is controversial. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at two to three times the atmospheric pressure at sea level can result in tissue oxygen...
Enhancement of radiosensitivity of rat rhabdomyosarcoma R1H with normobaric carbogen and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) using conventionally fractionated irradiation.
Abstract: Hypoxic clonogenic cells are an important contributory factor in tumour radioresistance. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen enhances tumour radiosensitivity, using a conventionally fractionated...
Acute cerebral gas embolism from hydrogen peroxide ingestion successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: We present a case of an adult who suffered an apparent stroke shortly after an accidental ingestion of concentrated hydrogen peroxide. Complete neurologic recovery occurred quickly with hyperbaric therapy. Hydrogen peroxide can produce...
A model of wound healing in chronically radiation-damaged rat skin.
Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to develop a model for studying the chronic effects of radiation on wound healing in the rat. Six months after rats received a single radiation exposure of 20 Gy, a random-pattern dorsal skin flap was...

Cohort study of vitamin C intake and cognitive impairment
Abstract To test the hypothesis that vitamin C protects against cognitive impairment, the authors conducted a cohort study (n=117) in a retirement community in Sydney, Australia. Vitamin C intake was assessed at baseline (1991) with a...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis].
Abstract: Radiation therapy has widely been used for cancers in the pelvis. Radiation cystitis, one of the late complications, presents often as hemorrhagic cystitis, which is refractory to the conventional therapy and may threaten the patient's...
The effectiveness of intermittent hyperbaric oxygen in relieving drug-induced HIV-associated neuropathy.
Abstract: This 3-month study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on drug-induced neuropathies in 22 patients with human immunodeficiency virus. All patients included in the study had been taking an antiretroviral medication for at least 12...
