The probability and severity of decompression sickness [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2017 Decompression sickness (DCS), which is caused by inert gas bubbles in tissues, is an injury of concern for scuba divers, compressed air workers, astronauts, and aviators. Case reports for 3322 air and N2-O2 dives, resulting in 190 DCS events, were retrospectively analyzed and the outcomes were scored as (1) serious neurological, (2) cardiopulmonary, (3)

Paraplegia and decompression sickness [PDF]
Spinal Cord, 1995 Decompression sickness may include spinal cord damage, which sometimes persists. Casual divers are exposed, as well as professionals. In this study we have reviewed the clinical records of divers admitted with symptoms of spinal cord injuries in our area in the last 6 years.

Management of decompression sickness in Jordan [PDF]
Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2000 This study, conducted at Princess Haya Hussein Hospital Hyperbaric Department, examined 23 cases [22 males, 1 female], diagnosed with decompression sickness [types I and II] and treated with hyperbaric therapy. The results showed 61% of dive accidents were decompression sickness type II; 26% of treated patients had residual symptoms after the first ...

Decompression sickness: a review. [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1968 Work in compressed air is a dangerous activity, whether it is carried on under water in a conventional diving suit, in self-contained breathing apparatus or in a diving bell, or in relatively dry conditions in a caisson or an underwater tunnel. Surprisingly large numbers of men have worked at one time or another in compressed air in tunnels or caissons

Age, weight and decompression sickness in rats [PDF]
Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016 The aim of this study was to determine if, after controlling for weight, age is associated with decompression sickness (DCS) in rats.Following compression-decompression, male rats aged 11 weeks were observed for DCS. After two weeks recovery, surviving rats were re-dived using the same compression-decompression profile.In this experiment, there was a ...

Urinary problems in decompression sickness [PDF]
Spinal Cord, 1986 The records of 25 patients with type II decompression sickness and urinary problems have been reviewed. Seventeen patients were professionals and 8 were above the age of 40. The disease appeared within the 1st hour of emergence from the water in 70% of the cases and within the first 4 hours in the remaining 30%.

A New Measure of Decompression Sickness in the Rat [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 In this study we assessed the reliability of a tilting-board grip score as a measure of decompression sickness in rats. In experiments using a hyperbaric compression/decompression protocol, rats were observed for signs of decompression sickness and their grip strength measured on a tilting particle board hinged to a metal frame.

Paraplegia due to decompression sickness [PDF]
Spinal Cord, 1977 Eight patients with spinal cord lesions due to decompression sickness are described. The cord lesions were in the cervical cord in four cases and in the upper dorsal cord in the other four, seven patients had incomplete lesions, one had a complete lesion, all patients were spastic.

Decompression sickness (‘the bends’) in sea turtles [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2014 Decompression sickness (DCS), as clinically diagnosed by reversal of symptoms with recompression, has never been reported in aquatic breath-hold diving vertebrates despite the occurrence of tissue gas tensions sufficient for bubble formation and injury in terrestrial animals.
