Recent Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) News
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in clinical application. A report of a 12-year experience.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has become a useful treatment in clinical diseases. All the treatment profiles (Death/Time) were performed under the safe limit of unit pulmonary toxicity dose (UPTD). Between June 1976 and December 1987, we had...
Sauna, shower, and ice water immersion. Physiological responses to brief exposures to heat, cool, and cold. Part I. Body fluid balance
Abstract Nine men were subjected to four temperature exposures to detect changes in weight, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and relative volumes of plasma. The exposures were: (A) sauna and head-out ice water immersion; (B) sauna and 15 degrees C shower;...
[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis: a review of its use and efficiency].
Abstract: In this work, the AA. speak of the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis, with particular reference to enforcement of this therapeutic technique in the mandibular necrosis caused by irradiation of tumour...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on immunological parameters in multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been reported to cause amelioration of clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We have treated 10 MS patients with hyperbaric oxygen (100% O2 at 2 atmospheres absolute for 90 min...
[The compartment syndrome].
Abstract: The compartment syndrome is in fact secondary to intracompartmental hypertension which creates ischemia of the muscles, nerves, vessels, and anterior tibial and peroneal arteries in the leg. Described in the 19th century, the clinical...
[Incidents in sports diving].
Abstract: Barotrauma of the ear is the most frequent incident in sport-diving. In some cases, inner ear disorders appear. Barotrauma with rupture of the lung can provoke gas embolism into the central nervous system and unconsciousness. Gas embolism...
Reinforced staple line in severely emphysematous lungs.
Abstract: In severely emphysematous or otherwise destroyed lung parenchyma, staples often cut through, which causes prolonged postoperative air leakage. A mechanical suture line reinforced by a polydioxanone ribbon is a simple, safe, and effective...
[Effect of the hyperbaric oxygenation of animals and man on mitochondrial function in their tissues (based on EPR study data)].
Abstract: The ration of differential intensities of EPR signal of free endogenous radicals of semiquinone type and iron-sulfur proteins recorded at the temperature of liquid nitrogen in tissues (R index) is proposed as a criterion for estimation of...
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy of oral mucosal carcinoma.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen is sometimes used in the course of treatment in head and neck cancer patient. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on oral cavity carcinogenesis in an animal model....
