      n spite of many modifications to decompression algorithms, the incidence of decompression sickness (DCS) in scuba divers has changed very little. The success of stage, compared to linear ascents, is well described yet theoretical changes in decompression ratios have diminished the importance of fast tissue gas tensions as critical for bubble generation. The most serious signs and symptoms of DCS ...

    • Normobaric oxygen can enhance protein captation by the lymphatic system in healthy humans.Peer reviewedOpen access

      has been advocated for a long time. Several beneficial effects of NBO have been demonstrated, one of which is the faster elimination of tissue nitrogen bubbles. During DCS occurrence, a cascade of intravascular reactions has been demonstrated. These inflammatory reactions occur within minutes of the onset of DCS, and involve the precipitation of proteins on the gas-bubble interface, causing a ...

    • Patent foramen ovale and decompression sickness in sports divers.Peer reviewedOpen access 

      mai 1998, Germonpré P; Dendale P; Unger P; Balestra C, HE Bruxelles Brabant
      Article scientifique
      Patency of the foramen ovale (PFO) may be a cause of unexplained decompression sickness (DCS) in sports divers. To assess the relationship between PFO and DCS, a case-control study was undertaken in a population of Belgian sports divers. Thirty-seven divers who suffered from neurological DCS were compared with matched control divers who never had DCS. All divers were investigated with transesophageal ...
