Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Rapid progression of head and neck squamous carcinoma after hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: We present four head and neck cancer patients who apparently had rapid progression of clinically occult disease during or soon after undergoing hyperbaric oxygenation. This led us to review existing knowledge about the interaction of HBO...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of radiation-induced sequelae in children. The University of Pennsylvania experience.
Abstract: The role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the treatment of radiation-related sequelae in adults is well known. In contrast, its role in the management of radiation-related sequelae in children has not been well studied. In an effort...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on peripheral nerve regeneration in adult male rabbits.
Abstract: Oxygen environments were used to study the regenerative effects of hyperbaric oxygen on crushed sciatic nerves in 30 adult male rabbits. Six different oxygen environments were used, and treatments were initiated 4 days post injury....
Gangrene of the perineum.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene, an anaerobic necrotizing cellulitis of the infradiaphragmatic soft tissues, is a serious pathologic entity with an unpredictable course. From 1978 to 1991, a total of 24 men (mean age, 57 years; range 27 to 90) were...
Emergency department management of house fire burns and carbon monoxide poisoning in children.
Abstract: Fires continue to be a major killer of children, accounting for as many as 34% of fatal injuries in those younger than 16 years of age. Recent advances in burn care have improved to the extent that attention is being refocused on the...
Myocardial infarction with normal coronary artery after carbon monoxide exposure: a case report.
Abstract: Carbon monoxide intoxication usually disturbs the normal human biochemical respiratory chain cascade from which high affinity of carboxyhemoglobin to oxygen causes ischemic insult to the human tissues and cells. Ubiquitous injuries to...
Hypoxic sensitizer and cytotoxin for head and neck cancer.
Abstract: Tumour hypoxia is well recognised as a major factor contributing to radioresistance. This article examines the role of hypoxia in influencing the treatment outcome following radiotherapy (RT), and reviews the rationale and results of...
[Indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Organization of the treatment unit. Training of personnel].
Abstract: Pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the application of HBO therapy are poorly understood that may limit its clinical use. However, useful indications are well standardized in the setting of critical care medicine, CO poisoning,...
