Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is known to affect energy metabolism and endothelial cell structure and function, but its effects on peripheral nerve have not been reported. We investigated whether it would (i) reverse established streptozotocin-induced diabetic...
Abstract: The results of clinico-electromyographic examinations point to a sufficiently high effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in polyradiculoneuritis and permit its inclusion into the multimodality treatment of the latter. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)...
Abstract: Hypoxia in the relatively ischemic diabetic foot impairs leukocyte bacterial killing and fibroblast-collagen support for capillary angiogenesis. Infection in even the relatively young, "warm-foot" diabetic with microangiopathy, neuropathy, and...
Abstract: We treated a group of 18 hospitalized adult diabetic patients (all with retinopathy, 17 with symptomatic neuropathy, and 6 with macroangiopathy) presenting with gangrenous lesions of the foot by a combined regime consisting of strict metabolic control, daily...
Abstract: The use of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) as a therapeutic measure has a favorable effect, in the postoperative period also, on traumatic affections of different levels of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve trunks and plexuses. It...
Abstract: Altogether 12 patients were treated by the hemocarboperfusion method and 20 patients with systemic symptoms by the hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) method. Positive results were obtained and it made it possible to recommend the above methods for multimodality...
Abstract: The effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a multiple modality therapy versus the conventional treatment of patients with facial neuritis was investigated. HBO was used in the treatment of 42 patients. Twenty-nine patients with a similar picture of...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in a pressure chamber with an oxygen pressure of up to 2.8 absolute atmospheres administered to patients with various lesions of the spinal cord (trauma sequelae, discogenic ischemic myelopathy, states after tumor removal, etc.,)...
Abstract: In 1978, a pilot study began of 29 patients with advanced tumors of the head and neck. The study showed a initial peripheral neuropathy rate of 55%, despite a dose limitation of 12g/m2 of misonidazole. Tumor response at 9 months was most encouraging. We are...
