Whole Brain Radiation and Solitary Brain Metastasis The initial approach to using radiation postoperatively to treat brain metastases, used to be whole brain radiation, but this was abandoned because of the substantial neurological deficits that resulted, sometimes appearing a considerable time after treatment. Whole brain radiation was routinely administered to patients after craniotomy for excision of a cerebral metastasis in an attempt to destroy any residual cancer cells at the surgical site. However, the deleterious effects of whole brain radiation, such as dementia and other irreversible neurotoxicities, became evident.

The Impact of Hyperbaric Medicine on Government Health Care, Disability and Education Expenditures  We were all taught that brain cells don’t regenerate. Four years ago, NIH announced to this panel that medicine had been in error all of these years and challenged the medical community to begin searching for a way to do so. Hyperbaric Medicine has been repairing brain injuries right here in America for 30 years, but no one would look at it because everyone "knew" that it was not possible.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Acute Stroke Soon, the first phase of HOTFAST, a study of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Acute Stroke, will begin. Dr. James F.
