Abstract: We present an 84-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, and bladder cancer who presented to the emergency department after the police found him disoriented and confused. Metformin...
Abstract: Implant therapy is no longer considered impossible for patients who have received radiation treatment. However, the risk of osteoradionecrosis and failed osseointegration are barriers to implant therapy for this population. This paper reviews the published...
Abstract: Postradiation changes in the tissues and delayed wound healing were presumed by all hyperbaric medicine societies including Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) and European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine (ECHM) as one of the basic indications...
Abstract: Late complications are one of the major factors limiting radiotherapy treatment, and their treatment is not codified. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used in combination with radiotherapy for over half a century, either to maximise its effectiveness or in...
Abstract: The purpose of this report was to investigate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in the management of a persisting radiation induced ulcer following standard breast irradiation. A 57-year-old Caucasian patient was referred following partial...
RATIONALE: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be effective in repairing damaged tissue and
reducing lymphedema caused by radiation therapy for cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying hyperbaric oxygen to see how well it
works compared to standard therapy in treating chronic arm lymphedema in patients who have
undergone radiation therapy for cancer.
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on the healing capacity of colonic anastomoses under the influence of preoperative chemotherapy. Forty male Wistar-Albino rats were divided into four groups of 10. Colonic resection and...
Abstract: We report a case of aspergillosis in the right temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with a history of parotid carcinoma and post-irradiation otitis. Previous treatment attempts with surgery and antibiotics were unsuccessful. Radical debridement of the glenoid...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure of at least 1.5 atmospheres absolute (150 kPa). It uses oxygen as a drug by dissolving it in the plasma and delivering it to the tissues independent of hemoglobin. For a variety...
Abstract: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a proliferative disorder of autosomal-dominant inheritance, with variable penetrance of gene expression. The treatment of DD is challenging. Both operative and nonoperative approaches were reported for treatment of the disease,...
