Uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the 1990s.

Sep 1, 1992 | Burns

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen can produce a variety of effects in addition to reducing air and gas embolism. It increases the killing ability of leukocytes and is lethal to certain anaerobic bacteria. It inhibits toxin formation by certain anaerobes, increases the...

Measurement of free radicals from smoke inhalation and oxygen exposure by spin trapping and ESR spectroscopy.

Jan 1, 1992 | Burns

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. Various hyperbaric...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in plastic surgery: a review article.

Nov 1, 1991 | Burns

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 tissue. Preoperative...

The effect of a fish oil enriched diet on oxygen toxicity and lipid peroxidation in mice.

Sep 12, 1991 | Burns

Abstract: Mice were fed a chow diet or diets enriched in fish oil, sunflower oil or beef tallow for 3 weeks. Fatty acid analysis was carried out in samples of plasma, brain and lungs from these animals and large changes were found in plasma and lungs with relatively...

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of healthy volunteers with u.v.-irradiated blister wounds.

Aug 1, 1991 | Burns

Abstract: Healthy male volunteers were wounded by skin blistering, excision of the blister roof and u.v.-irradiation of the dermal wound bed. The lesions, painlessly inflicted on one forearm, were occluded, and no systemic therapy was given (n = 7). Ten days later the...

One hour in 1 ATA oxygen enhances rat alveolar macrophage chemiluminescence and fungal cytotoxicity.

Jun 1, 1991 | Burns

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if 100% O2 would enhance rat pulmonary alveolar macrophage (PAM) oxidative killing of conidia of the fungus Neurospora crassa. First, we found that incubation in 100% O2 had no effect on conidia viability in the...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute smoke inhalation injuries.

Jan 1, 1991 | Burns

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an important adjunct in the management of respiratory injuries secondary to smoke inhalation, especially when injury is complicated by inhalation of a toxic chemical such as carbon monoxide or cyanide. For carbon monoxide...
