Decompression illness: a comprehensive overview. [PDF]
Diving Hyperb MedDecompression illness is a collective term for two maladies (decompression sickness [DCS] and arterial gas embolism [AGE]) that may arise during or after surfacing from compressed gas diving. Bubbles are the presumed primary vector of injury in both disorders, but the respective sources of bubbles are distinct.

Association between PFO and neurological decompression illness [PDF]
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2009 Sir, Greco et al. described a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented symptoms of stroke after diving into the sea [1]. An ischemic lesion in the lenticular nucleus, in the posterior limb of internal capsula and in the caudate nucleus of the right hemisphere was found at a Diffusion Weighted Imaging.

Decompression illness - critical review
Journal of Marine Medical Society, 2015 Decompression illness is caused by intravascular or extravascular bubbles that are formed as a result of reduction in environmental pressure (decompression).

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.

Acute kidney injury due to decompression illness. [PDF]
Clin Kidney J, 2014 Decompression illness is a rare but serious complication of diving caused by intravascular or extravascular gas bubble formation. We report the first case of acute kidney injury in a 27-year-old diver following three rapid ascents. He presented with transient neurological symptoms and abdominal pain followed by rapidly progressive acute kidney injury ...

Cutis marmorata as a manifestation of decompression illness
Emergency Care Journal, 2020 We present imagines of skin lesions due to a decompression illness (known as cutis marmorata). These alterations are usually transient, but they could be a warning sign of a more severe manifestation of decompression illness.

Cardiac arrest during a diving session: A case report and differential diagnosis
Clinical Case Reports, 2022 We report a case of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest occurred in a 61‐year‐old recreational female diver. After resuscitation, the patient was referred to the hospital.

Tetranomial decompression sickness model using serious, mild, marginal, and non-event outcomes
Informatics in Medicine Unlocked, 2020 Decompression sickness (DCS) is a condition resulting from reductions in ambient pressure, causing inert gas bubbles in tissues. This work focuses on hyperbaric exposures, specifically DCS resulting from underwater diving.

Effects of different simulated submarine escape depths by free ascent in animal models
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Objective: If a damaged submarine cannot be rescued in time, it is necessary to carry out a submarine escape by free ascent. Decompression illness is the greatest threat to the safety of submariners.
