Gas bubble dynamics in soft materials [PDF]
Soft Matter, 11 (2015) 202, 2014 Epstein and Plesset's seminal work on the rate of gas bubble dissolution and growth in a simple liquid is generalized to render it applicable to a gas bubble embedded in a soft elastic medium. Both the underlying diffusion equation and the expression for the gas bubble pressure were modified to allow for the non-zero shear modulus of the elastic medium.

Ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute-phase decompression sickness [PDF]
Radiology Case Reports, 2021 A 53-year-old man, who performed a 44-minute dive to a depth of 21 meters, felt severe abdominal pain with dyspnea after surfacing. An ultrasound study showed a marked snowstorm pattern in the portal vein of the liver and right ventricle, and whole body ...

Transcatheter closure for decompression sickness with a patent foramen ovale: A case report [PDF]
Journal of Interventional Medicine, 2021 A patent foramen ovale is one of the predisposing factors of neurotic decompression sickness. Transcatheter closure of a patent foramen ovale is effective in the secondary prevention of decompression sickness associated with intracardiac shunt.

Association between rat decompression sickness resistance, transthyretin single nucleotide polymorphism, and expression: A pilot study [PDF]
Physiological ReportsDecompression sickness (DCS) is a systemic syndrome that can occur after an environmental pressure reduction. Previously, we showed that the plasmatic tetrameric form of transthyretin (TTR) nearly disappeared in rats suffering DCS but not in asymptomatic

Evidence of a hormonal reshuffle in the cecal metabolome fingerprint of a strain of rats resistant to decompression sickness [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 On one side, decompression sickness (DCS) with neurological disorders lead to a reshuffle of the fecal metabolome from rat caecum. On the other side, there is high inter-individual variability in terms of occurrence of DCS.

Brain multi-infarct and decompression sickness [PDF]
Journal of Emergency Practice and Trauma, 2018 Scuba diving is associated with an important risk of developing decompression sickness secondary to formation of gas bubbles inside the body. The latter is formed mainly by nitrogen in the body on the diver’s way to the surface (1,2).
