Background:Many treatments have been tried in therapy systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients but use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is very limited.Objectives:To assess the effects of HBOT to quality of life and state of microcirculation in SSc patients.Methods:18 female patients aged 29-68 years (mean 57 years) with limited SSc and digital or leg ulcers were included in this work. The HBOT protocol comprised 20 sessions 5 day/weekly, 60 min, 100% oxygen at 2.2 ATA. The treated patients were evaluated at baseline and after 20 HBOT sessions. Evaluation consisted of physical examination, capillaroscopy, pulmonary function tests, biochemical analyses, socio-demographic and clinimetric questionnaires: Systemic Sclerosis Questionnaire (SySQ) and Health Assessment Disaability index Questionnaire (HAQ-DI).Results:Mean value [before: after, mean (range)] for SySQ [15.5 (4-48) vs 9.0 (3-31)], HAQ-DI [0.60 (0-2.88) vs 0.35 (0 -1.75)], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [21 (4-42) vs 12 (3-27)], forced vital capacity (96.61±14.44% vs 115.94±16.69%), diffusing lung capacity of carbon monoxide (73.61±6.63% vs 87.33±9.30%) significantly improved after HBOT sessions (p<0.001). There was no significant changes in the total number of capillaries (325 vs 338, p=0.235), mean number of enlarged capillaries (21 vs 27, p=0.182), giant capillaries (14 vs 14, p=0.235) and ramified/bushy capillaries (14 vs 13, p=0.178) before and after HOBT. All patients had digital ulcers, and 5 patients had bilateral lesions (digital and leg ulcers). Mean size of ulceration before HBOT was 12x11mm, and after therapy was 4x4mm (p<0.001). Three patients had digital gangrene. Amputation was not require for any.Conclusion:Our data confirm the efficacy of HBOT in treating SSc patients. Further studies are required to evaluate the protocol and to understand the durattion of the clinical effect.References:[1]Mirasoglu B, Bagli BS, Aktas S.

127 Background: A side effect of radiation therapy to treat genitourinary cancers is radiation-induced cystitis, which in its most severe form can be hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Some studies have found the incidence of HC in radiation patients to range from 3% to 6.5% after radiation therapy and can develop anywhere from 6 months after radiation therapy to 10 years or more after the last treatment. The severity of symptoms, which includes hematuria, may drastically reduce quality of life. Recent studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has improved symptoms of radiation cystitis in around 80% of patients. Methods: Sixty patients who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for radiation-induced cystitis since 2010 at Winthrop University Hospital were identified. IRB approval was obtained for contacting these patients to gather outcome data. Patient reported outcomes were evaluated using a questionnaire that assessed the type and duration of radiation treatment, treatment other than HBOT for HC symptoms, surgical intervention, and patient perceived outcomes of HBOT. Results: 36 patients were consented. The average age of the patient was 71 with a range from 29-91. The majority of the patients 78% had prostate cancer with the Colon, Uterinem, Bladder and Testicular cancer also included The average time from completion of radiation to onset of symptoms was 3 years. The mean number of treatments was 35 with a range of 18-120 treatments. All treatments were for 90 minutes at 2.4 ATA. The majority of the patients (24) had external beam radiaiation and 12 patients had a urological procedure after completion of their therapy. 78 % of the patients reports either moderate improvement or complete resolution of symptoms. Conclusions: This case series seems to demonstrate that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy appears to be an effective treatment for radiation cystitis, however additional studies are necessary.

AbstractObjective:Necrotising otitis externa is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigated whether temporomandibular joint involvement had any prognostic effect on the course of necrotising otitis externa in patients who had undergone hyperbaric oxygen therapy after failed medical and sometimes surgical therapy.Methods:A retrospective case series was conducted of patients in whom antibiotic treatment and surgery had failed, who had been hospitalised for further treatment and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Results:Twenty-three patients with necrotising otitis externa were identified. The temporomandibular joint was involved in four patients (17 per cent); these patients showed a constant gradual improvement in C-reactive protein and were eventually discharged free of disease, except one patient who was lost to follow up. Four patients (16 per cent) without temporomandibular joint involvement died within 90 days of discharge, while all patients with temporomandibular joint involvement were alive. Three patients (13 per cent) without temporomandibular joint involvement needed recurrent hospitalisation including further hyperbaric oxygen therapy; no patients with temporomandibular joint involvement required such treatment.Conclusion:Patients with temporomandibular joint involvement had lower rates of recurrent disease and no mortality. Therefore, we suggest considering temporomandibular joint involvement as a positive prognostic factor in necrotising otitis externa management.

Introduction: The unique anatomy of the ear makes the reconstruction more challenging. Microtia and auricula hematomas are deformities or defects that can occur in the ear. Treating traumatic injury and congenital malformations of the ears needs some technique and expertise. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an additional therapy that makes a significant contribution and is effective in wound healing. Case Series: In our first case, a 52-year-old man presented with a traumatic right cauliflower ear due to a traffic accident two weeks before hospital admission. The second case involves a boy 14-year-old who has a Microtia in the right ear with total ear construction performed using autologous costochondral cartilage techniques in a two-stage. Results: Both cases following hyperbaric oxygen therapy, yield good results with good scars, no sign of infection nor tissue necrosis Summary: The combination therapy of reconstructive surgery and administration of oxygen therapy gave satisfactory results in both cases. Five sessions of hyperbaric treatment showed promising results. There is no infection, rapid wound healing, and cessation of flap compromise.
