Radiotherapy of pelvic cancers may cause severe tissue injuries, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is one of few treatment alternatives. As part of a longitudinal, mixed-methods study, this study’s aim was to explore pelvic cancer survivors’ experiences of undergoing such treatment. Using a phenomenological-hermeneutical design, in-depth interviews of 20 cancer survivors were conducted and analysed using systematic text condensation. This study is reported in accordance with COREQ. The informants’ experiences were identified as: Approaching an unknown world, From feeling worried to becoming familiar, A long-lasting treatment course, and The treatment course went better than expected. Despite information prior to the treatment, informants were worried about HBOT but were still motivated to try it. A combination of relevant information, clear routines, person-centred care, peer support, and limited side effects seem to be important factors for patients’ experiences of safety from this treatment.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To review and analyze the clinical effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma, and to provide reference for the treatment of craniocerebral trauma. <strong>Method: </strong>From January 2009 to April 2014, we treated 287 cases of patients with craniocerebral trauma, on the basis of conventional treatment, the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and assessment for therapeutic effect. <strong>Results</strong><strong>: </strong>After hyperbaric oxygen therapy, patients with GCS score and GOS levels were significantly improved, compared with before treatment, the difference was statistically significant (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05); effect of the treatment of patients with 2−3 courses of treatment was better than patients receive more than 3 courses of treatment (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma can effectively improve patient’s symptoms and signs, there are helpful in the recovery of the body function of patients. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment should be carry out as soon as possible with appropriate extending the duration of treatment, as well as reduce the severe disability, death and sequela.</p>

This communication presents the experience of using mobile pressure chambers in patients with the confi rmed novel coronavirus infection in hospital settings. The obtained preliminary results indicate positive antihypoxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) applied in the form of increased saturation. After a session of HBO, patients demonstrated an increase in the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin at the average level of 3.71 points. Differences between SatO2 levels prior to and following HBO treatment were signifi cant in the CT2, CT3 and CT4 groups (p0.05). As expected, the effi cacy of HBO in terms of the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin was the greatest in the patient groups showing pronounced clinical and radiological changes in the lungs.

<p>The pattern and lifestyle of today's society with the presence of an interner facility makes people spend more time sitting out than on exercise and increased consumption of high-fat foods may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. An effective therapy is needed in preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Hyperbaric oxygen now starts to develop for the treatment of several diseases, which in turn can increase the gene forming antioxidant enzymes and ROS. To determine effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on total cholesterol levels of wistar white rats (Rattusnovergicus) induced bye high fat. The study was carried out in an expeative post test only group control of three groups. One group is given standard feed. All groups induced high-fat diet and standard feed. Of the two groups induced, one group was given hyperbaric oxygen therapy with a dose of 3 x 30 minutes for six days on day 7 at a blood test to determine total cholesterol levels<strong>. </strong>One way Anova parametric statistic test showed that p = 0.007 &lt; α proved hypothesis that hyperbaric oxygen therapy giving effect to total cholesterol level of white mice of jantangalurist rings induced by high fat diet. Total cholesterol was significantly different between K (-) and K (+) and between K (-) and P. It was found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy had an effect on total cholesterol level dose of 3x30 minutes for six days.</p>
