Abstract: Thymomas represent an uncommon and heterogeneous group of intrathoracic malignancies which require different treatments corresponding to their individual tumor stage. The objective of this study was to review the efficacy of our applied stage-based treatment...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for refractory radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: To analyze the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis and to identify factors associated with successful treatment. Clinical records from 176 patients with refractory radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis...
Optical Imaging of Tumor Response to Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and Irradiation in an Orthotopic Mouse Model of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used in the treatment of radiation-induced tissue injury but its effect on (residual) tumor tissue is indistinct and therefore investigated in this study. Orthotopic FaDu tumors were established in mice, and the response...
Treatment of nipple-sparing mastectomy necrosis using hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Alperovich, Harmaty, Chiu, , , , , , (2015). Treatment of nipple-sparing mastectomy necrosis using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2015 Jun;135(6):1071e-1072e. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25724049
Reconstruction of a large through-and-through defect of the nasal tip using a modified auricular composite graft.
Abstract: The nose is the most important part in the aesthetic appearance of the face because of its central position. It is difficult to reconstruct a large through-and through defect of the nasal tip among nasal defect deformities because of its unique individual...
Prognostic significance of long non-coding RNA PCAT-1 expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play widespread roles in gene regulation and cellular processes. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not yet well elucidated. The aim of the present study was to measure the levels of...
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor’s neglected subunit – GluN1 matters under normal and hyperbaric conditions.
Abstract: Professional deep-water divers exposed to hyperbaric pressure (HP) above 1.1 MPa develop high-pressure neurological syndrome, which is associated with central nervous system hyperexcitability. It was previously reported that HP augments N-methyl-D-aspartate...
Long-term experience of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for refractory radio- or chemotherapy-induced haemorrhagic cystitis.
Abstract: Radiotherapy and cyclophosphamide-induced haemorrhagic cystitis are rare but severe complications occurring in 3-6% of patients. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for haematuria not responding to...
Management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: a literature review.
Abstract: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious side effect of bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, metastatic bone disease and multiple myeloma, although recently this complication has also been...
