Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Skeletal muscle PO2 in anaerobic soft tissue infections during hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: In the present study skeletal muscle PO2 measurements were performed in patients with gas gangrene and anaerobic soft tissue infections before, during and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Polarographic PO2 needle electrodes appeared to be...
[Role of hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of acute anaerobic infections].
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), as an adjuvant treatment in necrotizing soft tissues infections and in gas gangrene is reviewed, including its specific effects, experimental studies and clinical reports. With a global therapeutic...
Measurement of free radicals from smoke inhalation and oxygen exposure by spin trapping and ESR spectroscopy.
Abstract: Research in smoke inhalation has established that free radicals are produced from gases released during combustion and these species impair lung function. Using spin traps and their adducts in an animal model free radicals were measured....
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: treatment for spinal cord decompression sickness.
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may result from decompression sickness associated with sport and commercial diving. Decompression sickness is caused by the formation of gas bubbles in the vessels and tissues secondary to a reduction in ambient...
[Non-specific ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease].
Abstract: The paper is concerned with current status of nonspecific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are considered. Crohn's disease was studied in its variants. Hyperbaric oxygenation introduced...

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen on growth of human squamous cell carcinoma xenografts.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is an important adjunct to the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer with existing or recurrent wound healing problems. Anecdotal clinical observations and a recent study of chemically induced oral cancer in...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in plastic surgery: a review article.
Abstract: The most important effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), for the surgeon, are the stimulation of leukocyte microbial killing, the enhancement of fibroblast replication, and increased collagen formation and neovascularization of ischemic...
[Cerebral air embolism after percutaneous lung puncture].
Abstract: Cerebral air embolism is a rare but serious complication to percutaneous transthoracic fine needle aspiration of the lung. A case is described after puncture of a tumour in the right lung with a 0.6 mm needle. The patient developed...
