Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of brain abscess in children.
Abstract: The treatment of brain abscess remains a challenging topic usually involving a multimodal concept. We report our experience with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in five children presenting with brain abscesses between 1995 and 2002 at the Department of...
Bone marrow oedema and aseptic osteonecrosis in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or non-Hodgkin-lymphoma treated with hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy (HBO): an approach to cure? — BME/AON and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a treatment modality.
Abstract: There is a striking need for additional therapies of bone marrow oedema (BME) and aseptic osteonecrosis (AON) in paediatric oncology patients. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy used in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis is demonstrated effectiveness. Aim...
Iron and infection: the heart of the matter.
Abstract: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a major threat to clinical medicine. However, natural resistance to bacterial infection, which does not depend on antibiotics, is a powerful protective mechanism common to all mankind. The availability of iron is the...
[Treatment of mucormycosis with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen: five cases treated at the same institution and review of the literature].
Abstract: Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that affects decompensated diabetics, immunosupressed patients and occasionally healthy individuals. Despite advances in anti-fungal therapy and surgical techniques, the morbidity and mortality remain high....
Endosonographic diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in infancy.
Abstract: We report pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in a 10-month-old girl who developed bloody diarrhea following chemotherapy for leukemia. The diagnosis was made only by colonic endoscopic ultrasonography, whereas the abdominal plain radiogram and computed...
Evaluation of mutagenic effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in vitro. II. Induction of oxidative DNA damage and mutations in the mouse lymphoma assay.
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...
Mucormycosis. Adjunctive therapy with hydrogen peroxide.
Abstract: Mucormycosis is a devastating fungal disease affecting mainly diabetic and immunosuppressed patients and frequently causing death. Mucor rhizopus, the opportunistic fungus, has been controlled via radical extirpation and intravenous Amphotericin B....
Hyperbaric oxygenation reduces the cytostatic activity and transcription of nitric oxide synthetase gene of mouse peritoneal macrophages.
Abstract: The effects of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and hyperbaric air (HBA) on the cytostatic activity, peroxynitrite synthesis and transcription of the inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS) gene of murine peritoneal macrophages were studied in vitro. Exposure...
