Use of hyperbaric oxygen in rheumatic diseases: case report and critical analysis
Hyperbaric oxygen has been used in patients with rheumatic disease for many years without reports of untoward or unusual complications for a variety of non-rheumatic indications. Recent evidence that hyperbaric oxygen inhibits the actions of certain cytokines, acts as an immune modulator and may help cognitive dysfunction has resulted in a re-examination of its potential role in rheumatic diseases. This
Hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunctive therapy in treatment of malignancies
One of the major issues contributing to the ineffective medical treatment of cancer is the occurrence of local hypoxia within the central tumor areas. The application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may help overcome the problem of oxygen deficiency in the poorly oxygenated regions of the neoplastic tissue. To date, several reviews on the use of HBO in cancer treatment
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis resistant to conventional treatments
