Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
[Perianal manifestations in Crohn’s disease].
Abstract: A total of 114 of 195 patients with Crohn's disease had perianal involvement. The average age at the beginning of symptomatology was 30.3 years. The interval between symptoms and diagnosis was 3.1 years. PAC was associated with colonic...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the management of osteoradionecrosis.
Abstract: Ashamalla, Ames, Uri, Winkler, , , , , (1996). Hyperbaric oxygen in the management of osteoradionecrosis. Medical and pediatric oncology, 1996 Jul;27(1):48-53. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8614391
Clinical results of hypoxic cell radiosensitisation from hyperbaric oxygen to accelerated radiotherapy, carbogen and nicotinamide.
Abstract: The 40-year history of hypoxic cell sensitisation can be traced from hyperbaric oxygen to the present clinical studies with carbogen, nicotinamide and accelerated radiotherapy. A meta-analysis by Overgaard (1995) included 10703 cases...
Role of proliferative activity estimated by bromodeoxyuridine labeling index in determining predictive factors of recurrence in superficial intermediately malignant bladder tumors.
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that factors predictive of tumor recurrence include a history of the disease, multiple tumors at diagnosis, and high tumor grade and stage. Additional biological marker for predicting tumor recurrence could...
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome in a diver: evidence of peripheral nervous system involvement in decompression illness.
Abstract: Conclusive evidence for involvement of the peripheral nervous system in decompression illness is lacking. We report a case of decompression illness associated with shoulder pain and the clinical features of median nerve injury at the...
Necrotizing fasciitis.
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon soft-tissue infection, usually caused by toxin-producing, virulent bacteria, which is characterized by widespread fascial necrosis with relative sparing of skin and underlying muscle. It is accompanied...
Effects of transition metals on the expression of the erythropoietin gene: further evidence that the oxygen sensor is a heme protein.
Abstract: Both in vivo and in Hep3B cells, expression of the erythropoietin gene is induced by hypoxia as well as by certain transition metals (cobalt and nickel) and by iron chelation. When Hep3B cells were incubated in an iron deficient medium,...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of radiation-induced sequelae in children. The University of Pennsylvania experience.
Abstract: The role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the treatment of radiation-related sequelae in adults is well known. In contrast, its role in the management of radiation-related sequelae in children has not been well studied. In an effort...
Rapid progression of head and neck squamous carcinoma after hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: We present four head and neck cancer patients who apparently had rapid progression of clinically occult disease during or soon after undergoing hyperbaric oxygenation. This led us to review existing knowledge about the interaction of HBO...
