Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Current advances in reconstruction of the mandible in head and neck cancer surgery.
Abstract: Today's reconstruction of head and neck cancer related deformities is based on an in-depth knowledge of soft and hard tissue repair coupled with the technical ability to transplant and reorient soft and hard tissues into a functional and...
The effect of irradiation in air or in hyperbaric oxygen on the Fib/T tumor in WHT mice pretreated with a hypoxic gas mixture.
Abstract: The effect of exposing WHT mice bearing the Fib/T tumor to a low-oxygen environment (8, 10, and 15% oxygen) for 48 h or 72 h before irradiation was compared, using an in vitro colony-forming excision assay, to the effect obtained when...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the radiation treatment of head and neck cancers.
Abstract: Published reports on the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the radiation therapy of head and neck cancer are reviewed. The weight of evidence, from randomised trials, is that it is of clinical value in the control of medium sized head and neck...
What have we learnt from hyperbaric oxygen?
Abstract: The 15 randomised controlled clinical trials of hyperbaric oxygen in radiotherapy yielded three with highly significant benefit and six with useful margins not reaching statistical significance. The increase in tumour control was partly...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of compression mononeuropathies].
Abstract: 105 patients with compression mononeuropathies were divided into 2 groups by duration of HBO performed under an original method. The effect of HBO treatment was assessed by changes in neurological symptoms and positive trend on ENMG. The...
The effects of nicotinamide and hyperbaric oxygen on skin flap survival.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen has been established as an acceptable treatment for the chronic healing wound. Nicotinamide has been shown to be angiogenic and accelerate the physiologic process following wounding. Therefore both nicotinamide and...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute smoke inhalation injuries.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an important adjunct in the management of respiratory injuries secondary to smoke inhalation, especially when injury is complicated by inhalation of a toxic chemical such as carbon monoxide or cyanide. For...
Cerebral mapping in subjects suffering from migraine with aura
Abstract Cerebral mapping of the spontaneous electroencephalographic activity was performed in 31 subjects suffering from migraine with aura and the results were compared with those of a matched control group. All the patients were examined during...
Closure of refractory perineal Crohn’s lesion. Integration of hyperbaric oxygen into case management.
Abstract: A case is reported in which a comprehensive program of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), surgical debridement and reconstruction, and continuing medical management resulted in complete and sustained closure of an extensive perineal Crohn's lesion...
