Epileptics and Scuba Diving

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
To the Editor.— The Professional Advisory Board of the Epilepsy Foundation of America is concerned about the response to a letter 1 inquiring about scuba diving and an individual with epilepsy who has been seizure-free for six years while receiving medication. We strongly believe that persons with epilepsy whose seizures are controlled can and should

Bleomycin and scuba diving: where is the harm?

The Lancet Oncology, 2007
Testicular cancer is the most frequent malignant disease in men aged 15–40 years. Due to its sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, most patients, including those with widespread metastatic disease, can now be cured. Bleomycin is an essential component of the most effective chemotherapy regimen for testicular cancer—ie, bleomycin, etoposide, and ...

Diving Into Research of Biomedical Engineering in Scuba Diving

IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, 2017
The physiologic response of the human body to different environments is a complex phenomenon to ensure survival. Immersion and compressed gas diving, together, trigger a set of responses. Monitoring those responses in real time may increase our understanding of them and help us to develop safety procedures and equipment.

Scuba

Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2013
Facebook takes performance monitoring seriously. Performance issues can impact over one billion users so we track thousands of servers, hundreds of PB of daily network traffic, hundreds of daily code changes, and many other metrics. We require latencies of under a minute from events occuring (a client request on a phone, a bug report filed, a code ...

Scuba Diving and Bleomycin Therapy

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1990
To the Editor.— The advice given by Drs Jules-Elysee and Stover in Questions and Answers 1 regarding safe return to scuba diving following bleomycin sulfate therapy is not entirely correct. While most scuba divers breathe compressed air (21% oxygen), the partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air is a direct function of the depth of the dive.
