[Use of hyperbaric oxygenation in treating anaerobic infections].
Abstract: Minnullin, Kocherovets, Chernov, Lotovin, , , , , (1987). [Use of hyperbaric oxygenation in treating anaerobic infections]. Voenno-meditsinskii zhurnal, 1987 Nov;(11):35-6. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3439045
Overwhelming infections in trauma.
Abstract: Following trauma, wound contamination with aerobic and/or anaerobic bacteria should always be suspected. Treatment with antibacterial antibiotics should begin immediately in the emergency room, particularly for those patients with...
Acute gangrene of the scrotum and penis in four hematologic patients. The usefulness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in one case.
Abstract: We describe four cases of Fournier's gangrene complicating the postchemotherapy aplastic phase (polymorphonuclear cells [PMN] less than 500/microliter) in three patients with acute leukemia and one patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma....

Effects of various oxygenation conditions on the enhancement by Fluosol-DA of melphalan antitumor activity.
Abstract: The cytotoxicity of melphalan toward exponentially growing FSaIIC fibrosarcoma cells under hypoxia, normal aeration, hyperoxygenation, and stationary phase normally oxygenated cells was examined. Through 4 logs of cell kill by melphalan,...
Neurological improvement in chronic ischemic stroke following surgical brain revascularization.
Abstract: 50 patients suffering from completed ischemic stroke in the carotid territory for at least two months (17 mild, 31 moderate, 2 severe strokes) underwent extra-intracranial arterial bypass surgery. Neurological improvement was obtained in...
Hyperbaric oxygen and cerebral infarction in the gerbil.
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in reducing the incidence of cerebral infarction during the first 36 hours after occlusion of the right common carotid artery was investigated in gerbils. After carotid ligation, the gerbils were...
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for chronic cystoid macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion.
Abstract: Ogura, Takahashi, Ueno, Honda, , , , , (1987). Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for chronic cystoid macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion. American journal of ophthalmology, 1987...
Lack of recovery from oxygen-induced damage to colony formation and DNA synthesis in senescent human diploid fibroblasts.
Abstract: The colony formation and DNA synthesis of cultured human fibroblasts were inhibited under hyperbaric oxygen. When maintained in a growth-arrested state for a few days after oxygen exposure, early passage diploid and SV-40-transformed...
