Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Overcoming tumor hypoxia as a barrier to radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy in cancer treatment.
Hypoxia exists to some degree in most solid tumors due to inadequate oxygen delivery of the abnormal vasculature which cannot meet the demands of the rapidly proliferating cancer cells. The levels of oxygenation within the same tumor are highly variable from one area to another and can change over time. Tumor hypoxia is an important impediment to effective cancer therapy. In radiotherapy, the primary mechanism is the creation of reactive oxygen species; hypoxic tumors are therefore radiation resistant. A number of chemotherapeutic drugs have been shown to be less effective when exposed to a hypoxic environment which can lead to further disease progression.
Mechanisms for Joint Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): from Cytokines to Central Sensitization
Abstract Purpose of review:Â Pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be due to different etiologies, ranging from peripheral inflammation to dysregulation of central nervous system (CNS) processing. This review evaluates relevant literature published...
Carbon monoxide poisoning in Denmark with focus on mortality and factors contributing to mortality.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is frequent worldwide but knowledge regarding the epidemiology is insufficient. The aim of this study was to clarify the extent of this intoxication, its mortality and factors associated with mortality....
Stage III Kienböck’s disease treated with hyperbaric oxygen: the role of an unusual approach to a rare condition.
Abstract: Kienböck's disease is a rare condition characterised by avascular necrosis of the lunate bone. Its natural history and aetiopathogenesis have not yet been clarified, nor are its triggering factors identified. We present a case of a...
Efficacy of Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a common consequence resulting from radiation in patients with cancer. Presently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is proposed to have a role in improving wound healing in ORN patients. There is no strong...

Oxygen Therapy Can Help Reverse Sudden Hearing Loss
Article from Health Line discusses how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can help reverse Sensorineural Sudden Hearing Loss (SSHL), also known as Sudden Deafness. Researchers found hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help reverse this problem affecting...
Effects of Hyperbaric Oxgyen on Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis is a painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. A chronic pain disorder afflicting some 19 million adult Americans, arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the US. The most common types are osteoarthritis (OA)...
Delaying latency to hyperbaric oxygen-induced CNS oxygen toxicity seizures by combinations of exogenous ketone supplements.
Abstract: Central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT) manifests as tonic-clonic seizures and is a limitation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), as well as of recreational and technical diving associated with elevated partial pressure of...
