Abstract: Radiotherapy, which is often used for cancer in the head and neck, leads to damage of tissue cells and vasculature. Surgery in such tissues has an increased complication rate, because wound healing requires angiogenesis and fibroplasia as well as white blood...
Abstract: Ten patients (3 maxilla, 7 mandible), who had been treated for a head and neck malignancy by undergoing radiotherapy, had 42 implants (10 maxillary, 32 mandibular) placed into the irradiated sites and either an overdenture or a fixed prosthesis fabricated....
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the long-term progress of 26 patients who experienced postradiation osteonecrosis of the jaw between 1975 and 1989. Of 26 patients who had been previously managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a part of their...
Abstract: This laboratory previously demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen and hyperbaric carbogen improved oxygenation in the R3230Ac tumor, but normobaric 100% O2 and carbogen did not. The current study assessed tumor growth after exposure to radiation plus either...

Abstract: Our objective was to assess, retrospectively, the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in radiation proctitis in all patients who have completed treatment for this disease at the Fremantle Hyperbaric Oxygen Unit. This unit is the only one of its kind in...
Abstract: Tumor cell kinetics were studied in C57 Bl/J mice with a transplantable sarcoma, MCG 101, exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), 2.8 atm abs, 2 hours daily for 9 days or until spontaneous death. The isoenzymatic pattern of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) confirmed...
Abstract: A previous nonblinded study has suggested beneficial effects from hyperbaric oxygen treatment of superficial partial-thickness radiation burns in human volunteers. This protocol was designed to either confirm or challenge these previous findings in a...
Abstract: Three cases of laryngeal radionecrosis are reported. In two cases partial surgery after radiotherapy probably triggered the radionecrosis. All patients were treated successfully with medical therapy. Laryngeal radionecrosis is an uncommon complication of...
