Brain multi-infarct and decompression sickness
Scuba diving is associated with an important risk of developing decompression sickness secondary to formation of gas bubbles inside the body. The latter is formed mainly by nitrogen in the body on the diver’s way to the surface (1,2). In some cases, it might injure the central nervous system. Several decompression cases that have been associated with neurologic symptoms are described in the l...

متن کاملDecompression sickness: a review.

Surprisingly large numbers of men have worked at one time or another in compressed air in tunnels or caissons and it is the dangers which arise to the h...
متن کاملParameter estimation in decompression sickness
It is critical that scuba divers and submariners can assess the possible effects of changes in pressure of their surrounding atmosphere as otherwise they may be affected by the “bends” (or, to use its more formal name, Decompression Sickness (DCS)) which can be severely debilitating and even fatal. For scuba diving there is an enormous literature on how to change water depth safely to avoid any...
