Preliminary observations on the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) venom poisoning in the rabbit model.
Abstract: Intermittent hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to reduce skeletal muscle necrosis in a compartment syndrome animal model. To study whether intermittent exposure to hyperbaric oxygen augments antivenin therapy in reducing muscle...
Treatment of high-pressure water gun injection injury of the foot with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen: a case report.
Abstract: High-pressure injection injuries are reported often in the hand and occasionally in the foot. Injection with water and air causes minimal tissue damage but nevertheless requires irrigation, minimal debridement, administration of...
The treatment of tumors by the induction of anemia and irradiation in hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Because increased effects have been achieved when murine tumors are irradiated after a period of hypoxia and because of anecdotal clinical experiences of an improved result after irradiation of previously anemic patients in hyperbaric...
Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible: a review.
Abstract: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a complex metabolic and tissue homeostatic deficiency created by radiation-induced tissue injury. Although infection was initially felt to play an important role in its pathogenesis, the role of microorganisms...
Some Endocrine Responses to Sauna, Shower and Ice Water Immersion.
Abstract Nine winter swimmer men were exposed to: (A) sauna and ice water immersion; (B) sauna and 15 degrees C shower; (C) sauna and room temperature; (D) head-out ice-water immersion and room temperature. The exposures were repeated and ended...
Hyperbaric oxygen: primary treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Of 8 patients with symptoms of advanced cystitis due to pelvic radiation treated with hyperbaric oxygen 7 are persistently improved during followup. All 6 patients treated for gross hematuria requiring hospitalization have been free of...
