Incidences of DCS as high as 1.3% have been reported in hyperbaric attendants exposed to routine treatment tables. Occupational health risks of this m...
متن کامل[Early detection of asymptomatic dysbaric osteonecrosis of the shoulder after type 1 decompression sickness: a case report].
INTRODUCTION Dysbaric osteonecrosis is a rare illness in professional divers and compressed-air workers. The correlation between dysbaric osteonecrosis and previous decompression sickness with osteoarthromuscular pain (type 1 decompression sickness) remains a controversial subject. The probability for ischemic lesions detected with MRI to turn into osteonecrosis after decompression sickness is ...
