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]
Decompression illness (DCI) occurs following a reduction in ambient pressure. Decompression bubbles can expand and develop only from pre-existing gas micronuclei.

Delayed hyperbaric intervention in life-threatening decompression illness. [PDF]
Arterial gas embolism is a catastrophic event. Bubbles in the arterial circulation may lodge in the brain and cause infarction in the affected area and/or in a coronary vessel causing acute myocardial ischaemia. There is no well-defined window of time beyond which a response to hyperbaric oxygen is not expected.

Hyperacute brain magnetic resonance imaging of decompression illness in a commercial breath‐hold diver [PDF]
Decompression illness in breath‐hold diving is a rare dysbaric disease mainly characterized by stroke‐like neurological disorders. The early use of DWI‐MRI combined with ADC map in suspected cases can help in the early diagnosis and treatment.

Association between PFO and neurological decompression illness [PDF]
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.

The risk of decompression illness in breath-hold divers: a systematic review. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION Breath-hold (BH) diving has known risks, for example drowning, pulmonary oedema of immersion and barotrauma. There is also the risk of decompression illness (DCI) from decompression sickness (DCS) and/or arterial gas embolism (AGE).
