Recurrent Decompression Illness Even After the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Diver [PDF]
JACC: Case Reports, 2023 Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for the development of decompression illness (DCI) and a therapeutic target for preventing the recurrence of DCI because nitrogen bubbles generated during diving can be paradoxically embolized through the PFO ...

Decompression Illness in Repetitive Breath-Hold Diving: Why Ischemic Lesions Involve the Brain? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Nitrogen (N2) accumulation in the blood and tissues can occur due to breath-hold (BH) diving. Post-dive venous gas emboli have been documented in commercial BH divers (Ama) after repetitive dives with short surface intervals.

Nanobubbles Form at Active Hydrophobic Spots on the Luminal Aspect of Blood Vessels: Consequences for Decompression Illness in Diving and Possible Implications for Autoimmune Disease—An Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Decompression illness (DCI) occurs following a reduction in ambient pressure. Decompression bubbles can expand and develop only from pre-existing gas micronuclei.

Comments on unresponsive decompression illness case [PDF]
Journal of Intensive Care, 2018 We have read the case report about a decompression sickness that was unresponsive to hyperbaric oxygen treatment in your journal. Presented case is intriguing; however, we think there are some contradictive issues in the discussion of the case.

A case of decompression illness not responding to hyperbaric oxygen [PDF]
Journal of Intensive Care, 2018 Background The case reinforces the importance of stepping back and looking at every possibility along with multiple co-existing pathologies. It takes into account the thought process of multiple systems and a multidisciplinary team approach.
