Transcatheter closure for decompression sickness with a patent foramen ovale: A case report. [PDF]
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]
Decompression 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

Risk factors of decompression sickness in scuba diving
BackgroundRecreational diving with aqualung can be called an extreme sport because the divers are exposed to physical and psychological risks. A serious danger in diving is the very exposure to a change in pressure underwater, which every diver must deal

Brain multi-infarct and decompression sickness [PDF]
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).

Decompression Sickness with Simultaneous Cranial and Spinal Involvement: A Case Report
Decompression sickness (DCS) causes venous and arterial embolization, resulting from decreased nitrogen solubility in the blood and tissues due to the rapid drop in external pressure, when rising to the surface after deep underwater dives.
