Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is of significant benefit in the setting of an ischemic flap of the head and neck. Mechanistically, hyperbaric oxygen decreases local tissue edema and improves oxygen delivery to compromised tissues. Both capillary and fibroblast...
Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage to DNA is associated with induction of stress-activated protein kinases leading to secondary and tertiary effects on the nuclear matrix, cytoplasmic transport mechanisms, and altered mitochondrial and cell...
Abstract: Photodynamic tumor therapy (PDT) is based upon a photochemical reaction that is limited by the availability of molecular oxygen in the target tissue. The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) increases the amount of oxygen available for the process may thereby...
Abstract: The authors described two cases of palatine tonsil carcinoma treated with surgery and subsequent radiation therapy after which occurred severe radionecrosis of the larynx, pharynx and oral cavity. These subjects were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy...

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate by MRI the course of aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) after chemotherapy in children with different malignancies. Retrospective analysis of 72 MRI studies in 20 children (age: 3.2-18.4 years) presenting with AON after...
Abstract: Despite of improving diagnostics, development of new drugs and treatment strategies, patients with biologically unfavourable, advanced or relapsed neuroblastoma remain practically incurable. Treatment related toxicity, requirement for personnel and financial...
Abstract: Persisting symptomatology after breast-conserving surgery and radiation is frequently reported. In most cases, symptoms in the breast resolve without further treatment. In some instances, however, pain, erythema, and edema can persist for years and can...
