Oxidative stress in breath-hold divers after repetitive dives
08 juin 2013, ; Sponciello, Nicholas; Rozloznik, Miroslav; ; Guerrero, François; Cialoni, Danilo; BALESTRA, Costantino
, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueIntroduction: Hyperoxia causes oxidative stress. Breath-hold diving is associated with transient hyperoxia followed by hypoxia and a build-up of carbon dioxide (CO₂), chest-wall compression and significant haemodynamic changes. This study analyses variations in plasma oxidative stress markers after a series of repetitive breath-hold dives. Methods: Thirteen breath-hold divers were asked to perform ... -
Oxidative Stress Response Kinetics after 60 Minutes at Different (1.4 ATA and 2.5 ATA) Hyperbaric Hyperoxia Exposures
02 août 2023, Leveque, Clément; Mrakic-Sposta, Simona; ; Germonpré, Peter; ; Vezzoli, Alessandra; Bosco, Gerardo; Levenez, Morgan; Lafère, Pierre; Guerrero, François; BALESTRA, Costantino, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueHyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutical approach based on exposure to pure oxygen in an augmented atmospheric pressure. Although it has been used for years, the exact kinetics of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) between different pressures of hyperbaric oxygen exposure are still not clearly evidenced. In this study, the metabolic responses of hyperbaric hyperoxia exposures for 1 h at ... -
Oxidative Stress Response Kinetics after 60 Minutes at Different Levels (10% or 15%) of Normobaric Hypoxia Exposure
15 juin 2023, Leveque, Clément; Mrakic-Sposta, Simona; ; Germonpré, Peter; ; Vezzoli, Alessandra; Gussoni, Maristella; Levenez, Morgan; Lafère, Pierre; Guerrero, François; BALESTRA, Costantino, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueIn this study, the metabolic responses of hypoxic breathing for 1 h to inspired fractions of 10% and 15% oxygen were investigated. To this end, 14 healthy nonsmoking subjects (6 females and 8 males, age: 32.2 ± 13.3 years old (mean ± SD), height: 169.1 ± 9.9 cm, and weight: 61.6 ± 16.2 kg) volunteered for the study. Blood samples were taken before, and at 30 min, 2 h, 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h after a 1 ... -
Oxidative Stress Response’s Kinetics after 60 Minutes at Different (30% or 100%) Normobaric Hyperoxia Exposures
30 décembre 2022, Leveque, Clément; Mrakic-Sposta, Simona; Lafère, Pierre; Vezzoli, Alessandra; Germonpré, Peter; Beer, Alexandre; Mievis, Stéphane; Virgili, Fabio; ; ; Guerrero, François; BALESTRA, Costantino, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueOxygen is a powerful trigger for cellular reactions and is used in many pathologies, including oxidative stress. However, the effects of oxygen over time and at different partial pressures remain poorly understood. In this study, the metabolic responses of normobaric oxygen intake for 1 h to mild (30%) and high (100%) inspired fractions were investigated. Fourteen healthy nonsmoking subjects (7 ... -
Physiological characteristics associated with increased resistance to decompression sickness in male and female rats
23 juillet 2020, Lautridou, Jacky; Dugrenot, Emmanuel; Amérand, Aline; Guernec, Anthony; Pichavant-Rafini, Karine; Gouvanec, Christelle; Inizan, Manon; Albacete, Gaelle; Belhomme, Marc; Galinat, Hubert; Lafère, Pierre; BALESTRA, Costantino; Guerrero, François; Moisan, Chistine; Buzzacott, Peter, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueDecompression sickness (DCS) is a complex and poorly understood systemic disease with wide inter-individual resistance variability. We selectively bred rats with a 3-fold greater resistance to DCS than standard ones. To investigate possible physiological mechanisms underlying the resistance to DCS, including sex-related differences in these mechanisms, 15 males and 15 females resistant to DCS were ... -
Physiology of repeated mixed gas 100-m wreck dives using a closed-circuit rebreather: a field bubble study
28 novembre 2021, BALESTRA, Costantino; Guerrero, François; ; ; Lafère, Pierre, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiquePurpose: Data regarding decompression stress after deep closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) dives are scarce. This study aimed to monitor technical divers during a wreck diving expedition and provide an insight in venous gas emboli (VGE) dynamics. Methods: Diving practices of ten technical divers were observed. They performed a series of three consecutive daily dives around 100 m. VGE counts were ... -
Pre-dive Whole-Body Vibration Better Reduces Decompression-Induced Vascular Gas Emboli than Oxygenation or a Combination of Both
30 novembre 2016, BALESTRA, Costantino; ; Papadopoulou, Virginie; Le Mener, Cédric; ; Guerrero, François; Lafère, Pierre, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiquePurpose: Since non-provocative dive profiles are no guarantor of protection against decompression sickness, novel means including pre-dive "preconditioning" interventions, are proposed for its prevention. This study investigated and compared the effect of pre-dive oxygenation, pre-dive whole body vibration or a combination of both on post-dive bubble formation. Methods: Six healthy volunteers performed ... -
Simulated air dives induce superoxide, nitric oxide, peroxynitrite, and Ca 2+ alterations in endothelial cells
03 avril 2019, HE Bruxelles BrabantArticle scientifiqueHuman diving is known to induce endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to decipher the mechanism of ROS production during diving through the measure of mitochondrial calcium concentration, peroxynitrite, NO°, and superoxide towards better understanding of dive-induced endothelial dysfunction. Air diving simulation using bovine arterial endothelial cells (compression rate 101 kPa/min to ... -
A ternary model of decompression sickness in rats
01 décembre 2014, Buzzacott, Peter; ; Mazur, Aleksandra; Wang, Qiong; Papadopoulou, Virginie; Theron, Michaël; BALESTRA, Costantino; Guerrero, François, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiqueBackground: Decompression sickness (DCS) in rats is commonly modelled as a binary outcome. The present study aimed to develop a ternary model of predicting probability of DCS in rats, (as no-DCS, survivable-DCS or death), based upon the compression/decompression profile and physiological characteristics of each rat. Methods: A literature search identified dive profiles with outcomes no-DCS, ... -
Venous gas emboli are involved in post-dive macro, but not microvascular dysfunction
21 janvier 2017, ; BALESTRA, Costantino; Theron, Michaël; Henckes, Anne; Galinat, Hubert; Mignant, Fanny; Belhomme, Marc; Pontier, Jean-Michel; Guerrero, François, HE Bruxelles Brabant
Article scientifiquePurpose: Previous studies have shown vascular dysfunction of main conductance arteries and microvessels after diving. We aim to evaluate the impact of bubble formation on vascular function and haemostasis. To achieve this, we used a vibration preconditioning to influence bubble levels without changing any other parameters linked to the dive. Methods: Twentty-six divers were randomly assigned to ...
