Effect of helium preconditioning on neurological decompression sickness in rats.
Decompression sickness (DCS) occurs because of an excessively rapid and extensive reduction of the ambient pressure. Bubble-induced spinal cord ischemia is generally considered as a part of neurological DCS pathogenesis.

Human Decompression Modelling [PDF]
At present, no decompression algorithm is able to predict safe decompression for all dive scenarios. In practice, empirical adjustments are made by experienced organisations or divers in order to improve decompression profiles for the range of depths and

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Has a Protective Effect on Decompression Sickness in Rats
Introduction: Commercial divers, high altitude pilots, and astronauts are exposed to some inherent risk of decompression sickness (DCS), though the mechanisms that trigger are still unclear.

What general practitioners need to know about patent foramen ovale [PDF]
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) consists of a hole between the right and left atriums of the heart that did not close the way it should after birth. Twenty five percent of the population have a PFO, but this usually does not cause problems, because the ...

Chronic decompression sickness and its diagnosis
Clinical pattern of the chronic decompression sickness is non-specific and there is objective difficulty to reveal the cause-and-effect relationship between the diver’s health condition and his professional activity in each case. This problem is not only

Body hydration status and decompression sickness
Hydration status refers to the balance between the intake and discharge of water in the body. When the ingested and discharged water are roughly equal and the body is in water balance, it is the normal hydration status, and when the water intake is too ...

Effect of angiotensin II on irradiation exacerbated decompression sickness
In some complicated situations, decompression sickness (DCS) combined with other injuries, such as irradiation, will seriously endanger life safety. However, it is still unclear whether irradiation will increase the incidence of DCS.

HapticDive: An Intuitive Warning System for Underwater Users [PDF]
All divers—regardless of skill or activity—are constantly at risk of decompression sickness; mild symptoms can often go ignored, and can also be deadly if left untreated.

Gas bubble dynamics in soft materials
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
