Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hyperbaric oxygen and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction: the "HOT MI" pilot study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) in combination with thrombolysis has been demonstrated to salvage myocardium in acute myocardial infarction in the animal model. Therefore a randomized pilot trial was undertaken to assess the safety and...
Dental implant survival in the irradiated jaw: a preliminary report.
Abstract: Seventeen oral cancer patients (47 to 78 years, mean 67) were treated with external radiation in areas that included future implant sites. Implants were placed in the irradiated jaws after a period of 18 to 228 months (mean 88 months)....
Radiation optic neuropathy after stereotactic radiosurgery.
Abstract: The purpose of the study is to report the occurrence of optic neuropathy after stereotactic radiosurgery for perichiasmal tumors. Records of four patients with visual deterioration after stereotactic radiosurgery were reviewed, including...
The effect of incubation of rectal biopsies on measures of proliferation using proliferating cell nuclear antigen in comparison with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine.
Abstract: Rectal epithelial cell kinetics are used as intermediate markers for colorectal cancer and relate to risk. In this study, measures of proliferation using direct immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were...
Life-saving muscle flaps in tracheobronchial dehiscence following resection or trauma.
Abstract: In the presence of acute inflammation and necrosis of the wall, tracheo-bronchial defects are difficult to manage. The absence of adequate vascularization and the contaminated area prevent successful direct re-suturing. In order to...
Risk factors for pulmonary barotrauma in divers.
Abstract: Pulmonary barotrauma (PBT) of ascent is a feared complication in compressed air diving. Although certain respiratory conditions are thought to increase the risk of suffering PBT and thus should preclude diving, in most cases of PBT, risk...

Recurrent pulmonary barotrauma in scuba diving and the risks of future hyperbaric exposures: a case report.
Abstract: A 27-yr-old male scuba diving student suffered two episodes of pulmonary barotrauma 6 mo. apart after 12-ft training scuba dives. In the interval between these episodes, four uneventful hyperbaric chamber dives occurred. No definite cause...
[The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on ophthalmic artery blood velocity in patients with diabetic neuropathy].
Abstract: We investigated changes in the blood velocity of the ophthalmic artery to observe its relationship to the complication of diabetes mellitus before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Color Doppler imaging (Toshiba, SSA-260A) was...
