Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Combined arterial gas embolism and decompression sickness following no-stop dives.
Abstract: Decompression sickness (DCS) has been clinically classified as Type I (predominantly joint pain) or Type II (predominantly spinal cord lesions). We present 3 cases that are all characterized by severe (Type II) DCS with signs and symptoms...
Hyperbaric oxygen management of chronic staphylococcal osteomyelitis of the temporal bone.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has proven efficacious in the adjunct management of selected otolaryngologic problems: radiation therapy-induced osteoradionecrosis of the temporal bone, malignant external otitis, mandibular osteoradionecrosis and...
Genetic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Patients with several diseases have been examined for detection of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood cells after 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at 0.15-0.20 MPa for 40 min. The present study reveals that HBO increases the...
Effects of human growth hormone in men over 60 years old
Abstract Background: The declining activity of the growth hormone--insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis with advancing age may contribute to the decrease in lean body mass and the increase in mass of adipose tissue that occur with aging....
[Cytogenetic effects of hyperbaric oxygenation].
Abstract: This paper presents cytogenetic data obtained from peripheral blood of patients who were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) at 0.15-0.2 MPa for 40 min daily during 10 days. The patients showed a significant increase of chromosome...
Glottic cancer: results of treatment with radiotherapy in air and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: This paper is a retrospective analysis of 397 patients with glottic cancer, in which 240 patients were treated in air, and 157 patients in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber (HBO). The three principal dose/time schedules in air and HBO are...
[The prospects for the sequential use of hyperbaric oxygenation and muscle electrostimulation for the rehabilitation of patients with nerve injuries].
Abstract: The authors propose to use hyperbaric oxygenation followed by muscle electrostimulation for rehabilitation after nervous diseases and injuries. This combination of procedures proceeds from reduced thresholds of muscle electric...
The role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and refractory osteomyelitis.
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the care of the diabetic patient with nonhealing ulcers, refractory osteomyelitis, or both of the lower extremity can be a valuable adjunct in their overall treatment. Adequate tissue oxygenation to...
