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 کاملAntioxidant Properties and Effect of Abrus precatorius Leaves Extract on Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Rats
Background Abrus precatorius (A. precatorius) is a herbal remedy commonly used in traditional medicine. We investigated the phytochemical, antioxidant, toxic properties, and safety of A. precatorius leaves in rats. Methods Phytochemical studies were conducted using standard procedures. The antioxidant properties were studied using the reducing power and 2, 2′- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH...
متن کاملProbabilistic modelling for estimating gas kinetics and decompression sickness risk in pigs during H2 biochemical decompression.
We modelled the kinetics of H2 flux during gas uptake and elimination in conscious pigs exposed to hyperbaric H2. The model used a physiological description of gas flux fitted to the observed decompression sickness (DCS) incidence in two groups of pigs: untreated controls, and animals that had received intestinal injections of H2-metabolizing microbes that biochemically eliminated some of the H...
متن کاملModulation of decompression sickness risk in pigs with caffeine during H(2) biochemical decompression.
In H(2) biochemical decompression, H(2)-metabolizing intestinal microbes remove gas stored in tissues of animals breathing hyperbaric H(2), thereby reducing decompression sickness (DCS) risk. We hypothesized that increasing intestinal perfusion in pigs would increase the activity of intestinal Methanobrevibacter smithii, lowering DCS incidence further. Pigs (Sus scrofa, 17-23 kg, n = 20) that i...
متن کاملHypobaric Decompression Sickness and Adynamia
INTRODUCTION A large discrepancy exists between ground-based estimates of decompression sickness (DCS) incidence during simulated extra-vehicular activity (EVA) and actual reports of DCS from EVA crewmembers. The discrepancy could be due to the effect of gravity during ground-based DCS studies. The lack of weight-bearing loads (sometimes named adynamia) will relieve pressure within the joints, ...
