A double-blind trial of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Abstract: A randomized double-blind trial of hyperbaric oxygen (2 atmospheres absolute for 20 sessions of 90 minutes, over a period of one month) demonstrated no advantage over a placebo gas mixture in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Of 41...

[Preoperative irradiation of laryngeal cancer patients under different oxygen regimens].
Abstract: Radiation therapy under the conditions of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) using the method of mean fractionation (3.3 Gy 3 times a week up to the summary dose of 33 Gy) was employed to overcome tumor hypoxia and to raise selectively...
Prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen to avoid osteoradionecrosis when extractions follow radiation therapy.
Abstract: Kraut, , , , , , , , (). Prophylactic hyperbaric oxygen to avoid osteoradionecrosis when extractions follow radiation therapy. Clinical preventive dentistry, ;7(5):17-20. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3878257
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for Fournier’s gangrene.
Abstract: Soft-tissue infections with tissue necrosis, due to mixed aerobic and anaerobic organisms, are an accepted indication for hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. A unique type of such infection is Fournier's gangrene. This condition represents a...
Burns: a review of the pathophysiology, treatment, and complications of thermal injury.
Abstract: Thermal destruction of skin may result in severe local and systemic physiologic alterations. Although a majority of minor burns may be treated on an outpatient basis, the foot requires special consideration. A thorough understanding of...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on paramagnetic centers in the rabbit myocardium during experimental myocardial infarction].
Abstract: Changes in paramagnetic centres (PC) concentration in rabbit's myocardial muscle were studied under experimental myocardial infarction during 168 hours by means of ESR-spectroscopy. PC characterized by ESR signal with g = 3.0 was found....
[Effect of drug therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation on the microcirculation and kinin system in rheumatoid arthritis].
Abstract: Berezhnitskiĭ, Skiba, Fabrika, Ornat, Zelenetskiĭ, , , , (1985). [Effect of drug therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation on the microcirculation and kinin system in rheumatoid arthritis]. Vrachebnoe delo, 1985...
Hyperbaric oxygen in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis: visual evoked potentials and clinical effects.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygen at a pressure of two atmospheres absolute were studied in a group of patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. A slight but statistically insignificant shortening of the visual evoked potential...
