Lower Motor Neuron Weakness After Diving-Related Decompression [PDF]

, 2006
We present a case of lower motor neuron upper limb weakness due to infarction of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord following diving. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an isolated lower motor neuron syndrome following diving-related ...

Desired and Feared Identities and Their Role in Occupational Identity Regulation

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper extends theory by showing how occupational identity regulation operates jointly through both desired and feared identities which, in combination, enforce normative control. Taking a narrative identity perspective and drawing on an ethnographic and interview‐based study of veterinarians, we make three principal contributions to our ...

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Patent Foramen Ovale Closure in Special Clinical Situations: More Questions Than Answers?

Life
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a remnant of the foetal circulation resulting from incomplete occlusion of the septum primum and septum secundum. Although prevalent in about 25% of the population, it mainly remains asymptomatic.

Recompression and adjunctive therapy for decompression illness [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2005
Decompression illness (DCI) is due to bubble formation in the blood or tissues following the breathing of compressed gas. Clinically, DCI may range from a trivial illness to loss of consciousness, death or paralysis. Recompression is the universally accepted standard for the treatment of DCI.

Risk of decompression illness among 230 divers in relation to the presence and size of patent foramen ovale [PDF]

, 2017
Background The risk of developing decompression illness (DCI) in divers with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) has not been directly determined so far; neither has it been assessed in relation to the PFO's size.

Robot‐Assisted Stereotactic Osteotomy Technique for Correcting Thoracolumbar Kyphotic Deformity in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Technical Note

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
The robot‐assisted stereotactic osteotomy (RASO) technique enables quantitative wedge planning and reproducible stereotactic execution for rigid ankylosing spondylitis–related kyphotic deformity, demonstrating technical feasibility and acceptable perioperative safety.

Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

A comparison of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia effects on cerebrovascular response pre and post maximal exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of consensus remains on whether normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) may differentially impact physiological factors affecting cerebrovascular regulation, particularly with an additional strenuous exercise component. We sought to compare the acute effects of NH and HH on global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) at an altitude ...
