Mar 1st, 2021 - The treatment of decompression sickness (DCS) with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) serves to decrease intravascular bubble size, increase oxygen (O2) delivery to tissue and enhance the elimination of inert gas. Emulsified perfluorocarbons (PFC) combined ...

Mar 1st, 2021 - Decompression sickness (DCS) remains a major operational concern for diving operations, submarine escape and high-altitude jumps. Aside from DCS symptoms, venous gas emboli (VGE) detected with ultrasound post-dive are often used as a marker of dec...

Mar 1st, 2021 - It is widely accepted that bubbles are a necessary but insufficient condition for the development of decompression sickness. However, open questions remain regarding the precise formation and behavior of these bubbles after an ambient pressure red...

Feb 19th, 2021 - Introduction: A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is highly prevalent among the adult population. It allows shunting of blood through the inter-atrial septum and has been associated with cryptogenic stroke, transient ischemic attack, platypnea-orthodeoxi...

Jan 29th, 2021 - Divers with a history of decompression sickness may be at high risk for sleep problems. However, limited studies have investigated the relationship between diving exposure and sleep problems of occupational divers. This study investigated the asso...

Aug 26th, 2020 - A new report recommends the surgical closure of patent foramen ovale in high-risk divers, but physicians in the United States urged caution about widespread use of the procedure in this population. "PFO closure is recommended in divers with a high...

Jan 7th, 2020 - Decompression sickness has special military significance because it can affect divers and pilots, particularly those flying at high altitude. Over the course of 12 years, approximately 50 pilot trainees at an Air Force training site in Colorado re.

Discussion The classification system of DCS is based on its clinical manifestations and is divided into type I or type II. Type I includes joint pain, skin marbling, small patchy hemorrhages, and lymphatic obstruction, while type II is dominated b...

Abstract and Introduction During decompression, the body attempts to eliminate the excess inert gas by perfusion and diffusion. When it is unsuccessful, there is a separation from solution in the tissues of inert gas and the formation of bubbles i...
