      Our understanding of decompression physiopathology has slowly improved during this last decade and some uncertainties have disappeared. A better understanding of anatomy and functional aspects of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) have slowly resulted in a more liberal approach toward the medical fitness to dive for those bearing a PFO. Circulating vascular gas emboli (VGE) are considered the key actors in ...

      Oxygen (both its presence and absence) acts as a potent signaling mechanism in many, if not most, cellular processes. Oxygen has been used therapeutically mainly to alleviate or correct hypoxia, and has been administered in supra-atmospheric doses in the form of hyperbaric oxygen (a method derived from diving medicine practices, but has been used in non-diving applications since the 1960s). Hyperbaric ...
