Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Radiosensitizing effects of perfluorochemicals].
Abstract: Malignant neoplasms are often refractory to radiotherapy because they contain areas of hypoxic cells that tolerate irradiation, reducing the effect of the treatment. If these areas of hypoxic cells can be oxygenated, the effect of...
Pathogenesis of cerebral air embolism during neodymium-YAG laser photoresection.
Abstract: We describe a case of air embolism complicating neodymium-YAG laser resection of an endobronchial carcinoid tumor. A 27-year-old man experienced an acute neurologic syndrome during laser photoresection which responded to acute hyperbaric...
[Visual improvement in diabetic macular edema by hyperbaric oxygen treatment].
Abstract: Ogura, Kiryu, Takahashi, Honda, , , , , (1988). [Visual improvement in diabetic macular edema by hyperbaric oxygen treatment]. Nippon Ganka Gakkai zasshi, 1988 Sep;92(9):1456-60. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3213778
Bronchoalveolar lavage-induced pneumothorax.
Abstract: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has not been associated with the complication of pneumothorax. Candidates for this procedure are predisposed to develop pneumothorax due to underlying infectious interstitial emphysema. This risk factor is...
Treatment of chronic refractory osteomyelitis with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Twenty-eight consecutive patients with chronic refractory osteomyelitis uncomplicated by persistent segmental bone defect, fracture nonunion, septic arthritis, total joint arthroplasty, or major systemic disease (immune deficiency,...
Solitary coin lesion in patients with malignant melanoma: an indication for thoracotomy?
Abstract: In five patients solitary pulmonary lesions were detected radiographically during routine follow up after malignant melanoma. Surgical removal was done in each case under the tentative diagnosis of metastases. Histologically, two lesions...
