Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Modification of radiation response.
Abstract: Response modifiers have been defined and several examples of modification of response of tissues of laboratory animals or of theoretical models were presented. I have reviewed several efforts to assess the clinical value of serveral of...
Promise of radiosensitizers and radioprotectors in the treatment of human cancer.
Abstract: Over the past 30 years, as an understanding of radiation chemistry has developed, it has been possible to develop compounds which modify the initial radiochemical event. In addition, certain physiologic means such as hyperbaric oxygen or...
Effectiveness of respiratory hyperoxia, of normobaric and of hyperbaric oxygen atmospheres in improving tumor oxygenation.
Abstract: Tumor oxygenation during respiratory hyperoxia is dependent on the tumor growth site, on the growth stage, and hence on the vascular pattern. Diffusion of O2 from the surrounding atmosphere contributes considerably to the oxygenation of...
[Therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygenation in lesions of the spinal cord].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a pressure chamber with an oxygen pressure of up to 2.8 absolute atmospheres administered to patients with various lesions of the spinal cord (trauma sequelae, discogenic ischemic myelopathy, states after...
The use of hyperbaric oxygen to modify the effects of recent contusion injury to the spinal cord.
Abstract: Studies on the experimental spinal contusion injury in animals confirm that posttraumatic ischemia contributes to central cystic necrosis or fibrosis occurring at the level of the spinal cord lesion. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) modifies the...
[Therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygenation in lesions of the spinal cord].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a pressure chamber with an oxygen pressure of up to 2.8 absolute atmospheres administered to patients with various lesions of the spinal cord (trauma sequelae, discogenic ischemic myelopathy, states after...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation and prevention of recurrent cerebral circulatory disorders in the acute stage of a stroke].
Abstract: The course of the acute period of cerebral stroke was compared in two groups of patients matched by the major clinical criteria: the test group receiving hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and the control one given no such treatment. It was...
[Therapeutic use of hyperbaric oxygenation in ischemic strokes].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is a valuable adjunct to the complex of measures devised to treat patients with ischemic cerebral strokes, including those who have undergone surgical operations on the extracranial portion of the cerebral major...
Assessment of recovery from hyperbaric-induced subfertility in male mice.
Abstract: This study was designed to investigate whether subfertility in male mice produced by exposure to high pressures of heliox showed any recovery. Male mice were exposed to 50 ATA heliox (controls exposed to 1 ATA air) during one...
