Revisiting decompression sickness risk and mobility in the context of the SmartSuit, a hybrid planetary spacesuit [PDF]
Gas pressurized spacesuits are cumbersome, cause injuries, and are metabolically expensive. Decreasing the gas pressure of the spacesuit is an effective method for improving mobility, but reduction in the total spacesuit pressure also results in a higher

Evidence of a hormonal reshuffle in the cecal metabolome fingerprint of a strain of rats resistant to decompression sickness [PDF]
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.

Paraplegia and decompression sickness [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Colonic Fermentation Promotes Decompression sickness in Rats [PDF]
Massive bubble formation after diving can lead to decompression sickness (DCS). During dives with hydrogen as a diluent for oxygen, decreasing the body’s H2 burden by inoculating hydrogen-metabolizing microbes into the gut reduces the risk of DCS.
