Researchers have discovered a new mechanism explaining why hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The study, published yesterday in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, demonstrates that HBO increases chemosensitivity by inhibiting a molecular pathway involving hypoxia-inducible factors and a key drug resistance protein….
New research shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy provides sustained relief for up to five years. A groundbreaking study has confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) provides long-lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic radiation-induced cystitis, a debilitating bladder condition affecting cancer survivors who received pelvic radiation treatments. The five-year follow-up of the RICH-ART trial, published…
A team of researchers from Croatia has successfully treated a severe motorcycle accident victim using a combination of extracellular matrix (ECM) application and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), potentially opening new avenues for treating devastating foot injuries that might otherwise require amputation. The case study, authored by a multidisciplinary team led by researchers from Rijeka University…
A comprehensive ten-year study conducted at the University Centre for Maritime and Tropical Medicine in Gdynia, Poland has revealed important findings about the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for critically ill patients. The research, published in Scientific Reports, analyzed data from 176 intensive care patients who received HBOT while requiring mechanical ventilation…
