Irradiation with misonidazole and hyperbaric oxygen: final report on a randomized trial in advanced head and neck cancer.
Abstract: One hundred and thirty patients with locally advanced squamous carcinoma of the head and neck were treated in a prospective randomized trial to compare conventional irradiation (63.00 Gy in 30 fractions) with a combination sensitizer...
Effect of hypothermia on radiosensitization.
Abstract: Hypothermia reduces metabolism and oxygen utilization by tissues. If the blood supply to a solid tumour can be maintained at a sufficient level, the hypoxic fraction of tumour cells may be reduced and radiosensitivity increased. This may...
Partial hypoxia as a cause of radioresistance in a human tumor xenograft: its influence illustrated by the sensitizing effect of misonidazole and hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: While previous studies with three human tumor xenografts suggest that contact-resistance plays a major role in the response of these tumors to radiation, it remains possible that partial hypoxia may provide an alternate explanation. The...
Oxygen delivery to tumors.
Abstract: Sensitization of hypoxic cells in tumors, by increasing their oxygen supply, has been attempted for at least 30 years. Only the use of hyperbaric oxygen has been shown unequivocally as a beneficial adjunct to radiotherapy; and even then,...
Hyperbaric oxygenation and erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes in multiple sclerosis patients.
Abstract: Erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities were measured in 18 patients with clinically definite MS, and results compared with those from neurological controls. These studies indicated that...
[Retinitis pigmentosa and hyperbaric oxygen therapy].
Abstract: Vérin, Comte, Poisot, , , , , , (). [Retinitis pigmentosa and hyperbaric oxygen therapy]. Bulletin des societes d'ophtalmologie de France, ;86(8-9):1071-2, 1074. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3568248
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in chronic stable multiple sclerosis: double-blind study.
Abstract: We carried out a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in patients with chronic stable MS. Eighty-two patients were treated in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber with gas supplied by mask....
[Changes in central hemodynamics in patients with ischemic stroke and possibilities of hyperbaric oxygenation in their correction].
Abstract: Isakov, Pravdenkova, Shelkovskiĭ, , , , , , (). [Changes in central hemodynamics in patients with ischemic stroke and possibilities of hyperbaric oxygenation in their correction]. Anesteziologiia i reanimatologiia,...
Craniofacial mucormycosis: assessment with CT.
Abstract: Computed tomographic (CT) scans of ten patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis were reviewed. Early paranasal sinus involvement appeared as mucosal thickening on CT scans, usually without air/fluid levels. Recognition as mucormycosis was...
