Nov 23rd, 2020 - With the increasing popularity of recreational scuba diving, rare complications are becoming more commonly encountered. Although diving is generally safe, novice divers may be unfamiliar with the potential hazards of scuba diving and the resulting...

Nov 23rd, 2020 - Platelets are the most easily altered type of peripheral blood cell in decompression sickness (DCS), which can feature decreased platelet count and the appearance of platelet microparticles in plasma. We hypothesized that DCS results in platelet a...

Nov 11th, 2020 - Extreme aviation is accompanied by ever-present risks of hypobaric hypoxia and decompression sickness. Neuroprotection against those hazards is conferred through fractional inspired oxygen ( F I , O 2 ) concentrations of 60-100% (hyperoxia). Hyper...

Oct 1st, 2020 - Saturation diving allows divers to reduce the risk of decompression sickness while working at depth for prolonged periods but may increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Such modifications can affect endothelial function by exacerbating...

Jun 23rd, 2020 - Simulated flight in a hypobaric chamber is a fundamental component in the physiological training of aviators. Although rare, there is always a risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in trainees during hypobaric hypoxia training. In this study we aim...

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...
