Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Mucormycosis-actinomycosis and caseous dental sinusitis associated with sinusal foreign body].
Abstract: The authors report an uncommon case of caseous dental sinusitis with infection or superinfection by mocorales and actinomycetes. The patient was healthy, without diabetes mellitus, but was treated for lymphoma 18 years before. This...
Physiological implications of hyperbaric oxygen tensions in isolated limb perfusion using melphalan: a pilot study.
Abstract: Controversy exists concerning the optimal pO2 of the perfusate during isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with melphalan. Therefore we studied the implications of hyperbaric oxygen tensions in the perfusate. In 12 consecutive patients,...
Tumour oxygenation: the influence of normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: van der Kleij, Kooijman, Kipp, Obertop, , , , , (1996). Tumour oxygenation: the influence of normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen. Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 1996...
"Adjuvant" external radiation of the mediastinum in radically resected non-small cell lung cancer.
Abstract: The effect of postoperative external beam radiation in MO non-small cell lung cancer resected with curative intention was evaluated in a randomized trial. In 155 patients (121 males, 34 females; mean age: 59 years) 105 lobectomies, 12...
Radiotherapy after hyperbaric oxygenation for malignant gliomas: a pilot study.
Abstract: The results of radiotherapy combined with hyperbaric oxygen in 9 patients with malignant glioma were compared with those of radiotherapy without hyperbaric O2 in 12 patients. This is the first report of a pilot study of irradiation...
Effective hyperbaric oxygenation with prostaglandin E1 for radiation cystitis and colitis after pelvic radiotherapy.
Abstract: Gross haematuria and severe bleeding from the large intestine occurred after pelvic radiotherapy in an 84-year-old woman with cancer of the uterus. Hyperbaric oxygenation treatment at 2 atmospheric absolute pressures for 60 minutes daily...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation–a method that improves the quality of life for cancer patients in the process of surgical and combined therapy].
Abstract: The feasibility and advantages of application of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)-assisted polychemotherapy have been demonstrated. A procedure for treatment of lymphorrhea following breast surgery has been developed. The therapeutic effect...
Is preoperative percutaneous fine-needle aspiration cytology of intrathoracic lesions advisable in resectable patients?
Abstract: The study addresses the clinical significance of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in patients with intrathoracic lesions. The diagnoses based on cytology in 101 patients (73 male, 28 female; age 21-78 years) with...
[Radiotherapy of chiasmal gliomas in children].
Abstract: Chiasmal gliomas are rare tumors occurring predominantly in children. Their treatment consists of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Surgical removal can usually be only partial, and radiotherapy frequently follows. There are...
