Effects of Exercise Training under Hyperbaric Oxygen on Oxidative Stress Markers and Endurance Performance in Young Soccer Players: A Pilot Study

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of three weeks of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) training on oxidative stressmarkers and endurance performance in young soccer players. Participants (18.6 ± 1.6 years) were randomized into hyperbaric hyperoxic (HH) training ( =6) and normobaric normoxic (NN) training ( =6) groups. Immediately before and after …

Hyperbaric oxygen and muscle performance in maximal sustained muscle contraction

ABSTRACTPurpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO2) on sustainedmaximal muscle contraction. Methods: Fifty-two healthy volunteers participated in the study. Thirty-four experimental subjects breathing 100% oxygen at 253kPa (2.5ATA) in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber performed a maximal grip contraction for one minute (initial grip) followed by a 30-second rest period …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation-induced tissue toxicity: prospectively patient-reported outcome measures in breast cancer patients

ntroduction: This study examines patient reported outcome measures of women undergoing hyperbaric oxygentreatment (HBOT) after breast-conserving therapy.Method: Included were 57 women treated with HBOT for late radiation-induced tissue toxicity (LRITT) referred inthe period January 2014-December 2015. HBOT consisted of (on average) 47 sessions. In total, 80 min of 100 % O2was administered under increased pressure …

EARLY HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR REDUCING RADIOTHERAPY SIDE EFFECTS: EARLY RESULTS OF A RANDOMIZED TRIAL IN OROPHARYNGEAL AND NASOPHARYNGEAL CANCER

Purpose: Comparison of quality of life (QoL) and side effects in a randomized trial for early hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) after radiotherapy (RT).Methods and Materials: From 2006, 19 patients with tumor originating from the tonsillar fossa and/or soft palate(15), base of tongue (1), and nasopharynx (3) were randomized to receive HBOT or not. HBOT consisted …

Successful treatment of brain radiation necrosis resulting from triple-negative breast cancer with Endostar and short-term hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a case report

Abstract: Radiation necrosis (RN) is one of the complications of radiotherapy.Angiogenesis is a key factor underlying the development of RN, and Endostar, a safe and well-tolerated recombinant human endostatin, has been used to treat a variety of tumors.Thus far, however, no definitive reports on the use of Endostar for RN treatment have been reported. Here, …

Anti-inflammatory effects of hyperbaric oxygen on irradiated laryngeal tissues

AbstractIntroduction: To manage the complications of irradiation of head and neck tissue is a challengingissue for the otolaryngologist. Definitive treatment of these complications is still controversial.Recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is promising option for these complications.Objective: In this study, we used biochemical and histopathological methods to investigate theefficacy of hyperbaric oxygen against the inflammatory effects of …

Successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy for laryngeal radionecrosis after chemoradiotherapy for mesopharyngeal cancer: case report and literature review

Abstract Laryngeal radionecrosis is one of the mosttroublesome late complications of radiotherapy, because it isfrequently resistant to treatment and laryngectomy is requiredin the worst case. Here, we report a case of laryngeal radio necrosis, successfully treated by use of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy, in which laryngectomy was avoided. A67-year-old male received radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT)for mesopharyngeal cancer, …

TREATMENT OF LARYNGEAL RADIONECROSIS WITH HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY: A CASE REPORT

An 81-year-old male with early-stage laryngeal carcinoma had been treated with 60 Gy curative radiotherapy. He complained of a sore throat, foul odor in the mouth, progressive dyspnea, and fever2 months after the completion of radiotherapy. Direct laryngoscopy revealed narrowing of the glottis withdiffuse ulcerative necrotic tissue. Biopsies at multiple sites and pathology revealed intense …
