Abstract: The aim of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) is to increase transported oxygen in the blood over the rise of the physiologically solved part. In oral and maxillofacial surgery, treatment-resistant osteomyelitis and osteoradionecrosis are indications for HBO...
Abstract: We recently showed that treatment of V79 cells with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) efficiently induced DNA effects in the comet assay and chromosomal damage in the micronucleus test (MNT), but did not lead to gene mutations at the hprt locus. Using the comet assay...

Abstract: Dose dependence of light cannot be discussed on the basis of dose alone. On a more fundamental scientific level, the propagation of light in tissue depends on optical parameters of treated tumor tissue. In a prospective, nonrandomized study, in vivo optical...
Abstract: The adverse effects of tumor hypoxia and anemia on the efficacy of radiation therapy have been increasingly recognized. In vitro data indicate that radiation therapy under hypoxic conditions is approximately one third as effective as that under normoxic...
Abstract: This article was undertaken to present two cases of nonhealing ulcers that occurred after primary radiation therapy and local excision of suspected residual or recurrent anal carcinomas. Both patients responded favorably to hyperbaric chamber treatment....
Abstract: A 65-year-old woman underwent resection of a distal common bile duct carcinoma (Whipple's procedure). Twelve months later a single hepatic metastasis was detected and a chemoembolization was performed. Immediately after chemoembolization the patient...
Abstract: Although hypoxia is considered a major cause of failure of radiotherapy, the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia are unclear, and effective ways for its correction or targeting are missing. Tumoral vasculature is the vehicle for the hemoglobin to reach the tumoral...
