Apr 6th, 2020 - For three decades, studies have demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in reducing the onset of decompression trauma. However, none of these emulsion-based preparations are accepted for therapeutic use in the western worl...

Mar 16th, 2020 - 122,129 dives by 10,358 recreational divers were recorded by dive computers from 11 manufacturers in an exploratory study of how dive profile, breathing gas (air or nitrox [N2/O2] mixes), repetitive diving, gender, age, and dive site conditions in...

Mar 16th, 2020 - Decompression sickness (DCS) occurs when nitrogen gas (N2) comes out of solution too quickly, forming bubbles in the blood and tissues. These bubbles can be a serious condition; thus it is of extreme interest in the dive community to model DCS ris...

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.

Nov 15th, 2019 - In artisanal fishing communities in Chile, the access to occupational safety and health (OSH) is limited by factors such as the informality of employment. Our objective was to analyze the working and health conditions of workers in a coastal town ...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract The purpose of this review is to give a broad overview of the role of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in disease. The embryological origins of PFO are described before reviewing the different diagnostic modalities ava...

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...
