Long-Term Control of Refractory Hemorrhagic Radiation Proctitis With Ozone Therapy

Abstract

Persistent advanced HRP was significantly improved with O3T. The addition of O3T can be useful as a complementary treatment in the long-term management of HRP and, as such, merits further evaluation.

A novel ozone gas sensor based on one-dimensional (1D) α-Ag2WO4 nanostructures

“…29,[34][35][36][37][38][39] For example, ozone has been employed as a powerful drinking-water disinfectant and oxidant. 34,35,40 On the other hand, when the ozone level in an atmosphere exceeds a certain threshold value, the exposure to this gas becomes hazardous to human health and can cause serious health problems (e.g.…”

Effects of Ozonated Olive Oil on Acute Radiation Proctitis in Rats

“…However, data on the use of ozone or ozonated oils in radiation proctitis are limited. Recently, Clavo et al (26) reported the beneficial effects of ozone therapy on refractory haemorrhagic radiation proctitis. In the study, 17 patients received an ozone gas mixture via rectal insufflations and topical application of ozonised oil, and were followed up for a median of 40 months (3-56 months).…”

“…In the study, 17 patients received an ozone gas mixture via rectal insufflations and topical application of ozonised oil, and were followed up for a median of 40 months (3-56 months). Clavo et al (26) concluded that ozone treatment improved the clinical symptoms of haemorrhagic radiation proctitis. However, this is the only study published in the English- language literature, and to date, no studies have reported the effects of OzOO on histopathological findings of ARP in animals or in humans.…”

“…Thus, OzOO was confirmed to have beneficial effects on ARP. Ozone was chosen for its demonstrated benefits in radiation-induced cystitis (23), refractory haemorrhagic radiation proctitis (26), and ileal injury (25). Calvo et al (23) reported that ozonated bi-distilled water could be administered intravesicularly to prevent haematuria caused by radiation-induced cystitis.…”

An investigation into the influence of zinc precursor on the microstructural, photoluminescence, and gas-sensing properties of ZnO nanoparticles

“…Ozone (O 3 ) is an oxidizing gas which exhibits industrial applications such as drinking-water treatment, microelectronic cleaning processes, among others (Glaze 1987;Patil et al 2009;Bocci et al 2011;Korotcenkov and Cho 2012;Clavo et al 2013;Graham et al 2013;Simoes and Simoes 2013). The real-time monitoring of the O 3 concentration levels is essential for human health.…”
