Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hemiplegia caused by inadvertent intra-carotid infusion of total parenteral nutrition.
Abstract: A 24 year-old woman developed acute hemiplegia and a seizure following accidental catheterization of the right common carotid artery and total parenteral nutrition infusion. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed lesions in the...
Evaluation of penicillin and hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of streptococcal myositis.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and penicillin (PCN) therapy in a murine model of streptococcal myositis. The thighs of Swiss Webster mice were inoculated with Streptococcus pyogenes. Four...
Dental implants following radical oral cancer surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.
Abstract: Following radical oral cancer surgery and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy with a total dose of 60 Gy, 71 IMZ and 150 Brånemark implants were placed in the mandibles and 28 Brånemark implants were placed in the maxillas of 60 patients...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound complications after surgery in the irradiated head and neck: a review of the literature and a report of 15 consecutive patients.
Abstract: Radiotherapy, which is often used for cancer in the head and neck, leads to damage of tissue cells and vasculature. Surgery in such tissues has an increased complication rate, because wound healing requires angiogenesis and fibroplasia as...
Implant rehabilitation of irradiated jaws: a preliminary report.
Abstract: Ten patients (3 maxilla, 7 mandible), who had been treated for a head and neck malignancy by undergoing radiotherapy, had 42 implants (10 maxillary, 32 mandibular) placed into the irradiated sites and either an overdenture or a fixed...
Necrotizing fasciitis: a diagnostic challenge.
Abstract: Group A streptococci are responsible for much of the morbidity associated with skin infections. Necrotizing fasciitis, the most extreme form of these infections, may be life-threatening. Consequently, physicians need to know how to...

Abstract: Chantelau, , , , , , , , (1997). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetes care, 1997 Jul;20(7):1207-8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9203467
Influence of acetylcysteine on aggravation of ischemic damage in ex vivo hearts of rats exposed to hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Rats were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO = 100% oxygen; 2.5 atmospheres absolute pressure) for 6 h. Isovolumic left heart preparations from these animals were subjected to global low flow-ischemia (perfusion rate from 12 ml/min to 2...
Cell proliferative modulation of MCG 101 sarcoma from mice exposed to hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: Tumor cell kinetics were studied in C57 Bl/J mice with a transplantable sarcoma, MCG 101, exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), 2.8 atm abs, 2 hours daily for 9 days or until spontaneous death. The isoenzymatic pattern of lactate...
