The effect of oxygenation on the biological behaviour of tumours.
Malignant tumours often display hypoxic tissue areas where the oxygen tension is < 7 mm Hg. Studies in this field have proved that the hypoxic state boosts tumour progression and aggressive behaviour. In tissue culture experiments "in vitro" oxygenation was found to inhibit in itself the proliferation of cells of healthy tissues as well as benign and malignant tumours. It is a very important observation from oncotherapeutic point of view that in the presence of partial oxygen pressure < 2.5 mm Hg the radiosensitivity decreases (intrinsic radioresistance). Most of the anticancer drugs (cytostatics) are also ineffective in hypoxic tumours (chemoresistance).
Development of underwater and hyperbaric medicine in Malaysia.
Abstract: Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine is a treatment modality gaining recognition in Malaysia. It uses the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) approach where patients are placed in recompression chambers and subjected to oxygen therapy under pressure. In Malaysia...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy mediates increased nitric oxide production associated with wound healing: a preliminary study.
Abstract: The objective of this preliminary study was to document general somatic and wound nitric oxide (NO) levels during and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The study evaluated 6 chronic wound patients that responded favorably to HBOT treatment (20...
