Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Perfluorochemicals and hyperbaric oxygen in radiation therapy.
Abstract: It has been postulated that tumors contain hypoxic cells of decreased radiation sensitivity, which limit curability with radiation therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen has been used in an attempt to improve tumor oxygenation. The nature of the...
The role of hyperbaric oxygen in the management of Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Fournier's gangrene of the external genitals is a complex entity characterized by acute onset, rapid progress to gangrene, toxemia and high mortality rate. The disease may be primary as described by Fournier or secondary with a detectable...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on total water content of brain tissue in experimental traumatic edema of the brain].
Abstract: Experiments were conducted on 30 rabbits with dosed injury inflicted on the brain; 15 animals were treated by means of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), the other 15 animals were not given treatment. The amount of total water in the brain...
[Place of hemocarboperfusion and hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis with systemic symptoms].
Abstract: Altogether 12 patients were treated by the hemocarboperfusion method and 20 patients with systemic symptoms by the hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) method. Positive results were obtained and it made it possible to recommend the above methods...

[Double-blind treatment of 49 cases of chronic multiple sclerosis using hyperbaric oxygen].
Abstract: Forty nine patients with a chronic form of multiple sclerosis (MS) [progressive or stable] were treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HO) in a double blind trial. Patients were divided in three groups: the first group (group I) received a...
[Mechanisms of action of hyperbaric oxygenation in ischemic stroke].
Abstract: A comprehensive clinico-polygraphic study (EEG, ECG, REG, sphygmography of the temporal arteries, phlebography of the jugular veins) of 60 patients with ischemic stroke before, during and after hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was carried out...
[Drug treatment of inflammatory postoperative complications].
Abstract: Ivanova, Mirkov, Istatkov, Krutilin, , , , , (1986). [Drug treatment of inflammatory postoperative complications]. Akusherstvo i ginekologiia, 1986 ;25(3):53-6. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3752396
Tissue ischemia and hyperbaric oxygen treatment: an experimental study.
Abstract: The results of the present experiments showed that The general post-burn edema in a scald burn model was reduced with HBO treatment and the water content in the contralateral unburned mouse ear did not statistically significantly differ...
Respiratory care of the burn patient.
Abstract: The vast majority of respiratory disorders in thermally injured patients arise from associated inhalation injuries. The major forms of these injuries are carbon monoxide poisoning, injury to the upper airway, and pulmonary parenchymal...
