Mar 27th, 2023 - A field study was conducted to examine the vulnerability of military divers to non-freezing cold injury (NFCI) during Arctic ice-diving operations. Participants were instrumented with temperature sensors on the back of their hands and on the botto...

Feb 9th, 2023 - This project investigated glial-based lymphatic (glymphatic) function and its role in a murine model of decompression sickness (DCS). DCS pathophysiology is traditionally viewed as being related to gas bubble formation from insoluble gas on decomp...

Dec 17th, 2022 - The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2040, neurodegenerative diseases will be the second leading cause of death in developed countries, overtaking cancer-related deaths and exceeded only by cardiovascular disease-related death....

Nov 30th, 2022 - Early recompression therapy is suggested for a better clinical outcome of decompression sickness (DCS) patients. This study analyzed the efficacy of our 24-hour on-call system for early recompression therapy. We conducted a single-center retrospec...

Sep 14th, 2022 - Immersion Pulmonary Edema (IPE) is a relatively new form of hemodynamic pulmonary edema. The number of cases has been increasing over the last ten years and it has become the second most common cause of hospitalization for military divers, after d...

Jul 27th, 2022 - Hydrogen is odorless, colorless gas existing in natural environment. It was traditionally thought as biologically inert gas, which means it does not participate in biological process. However, recent studies have demonstrated that ingestion of hyd...

Apr 22nd, 2022 - The impact of oxygen therapy in many pathologies has been subject of recent work, arguing both favourable and harmful effects. Consequently, one can wonder about the influence of hyperoxic gas mixture during diving on the genesis of decompression ...

Dec 14th, 2021 - Three different types of experiments will be performed: (A). Testing of Cross corrections breathing air at 8,000 (0.743 ATA) and 10,000 ft (0.688 ATA). Subjects will be decompressed in a hypobaric chamber to one of the altitudes above. A no-stop d...

Aug 24th, 2021 - PFO was defined as transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) evidence of infused microbubbles in the left atrium within three cardiac cycles after their appearance in the right atrium, at rest or during Valsalva release. If TEE finding will not be c...

Oct 8th, 2021 - It is a time of significant change as the Military Health System (MHS) transitions to the purview of the Defense Health Agency (DHA). Additionally, the landscape of combat is ever changing, and military medicine needs to evolve to ensure that the.

Aug 24th, 2021 - Young people with low levels of physical activity were found to be at increased risk of stroke if they clocked in 8 or more hours of sedentary time per day. (Stroke) Mavacamten priced at $75,000 per year would be less cost-effective than myectomy ...

Aug 18th, 2021 - Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in scuba divers might be effective in preventing decompression sickness, a new study suggests. An analysis of more than 800 divers showed that those who were screened and then underwent PFO closure were less like...

Aug 27th, 2020 - A new report recommends the surgical closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) 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.
