Individual Susceptibility to Hypobaric Environments: An Update

Astronauts are at risk for developing decompression sickness (DCS) while exposed to the hypobaric environment of the extravehicular suit in space, in terrestrial hypobaric chambers, and during ascent from neutral buoyancy training dives. There is increasing recognition that DCS risk is different between diving and altitude exposures, with many individual parameters and environmental factors imp...

Confounding Factors: Individual Differences and Interactions Individual Differences in Susceptibility to Pesticides

This chapter presents and discusses some of the circumstances and conditions that may confer differing susceptibilities on different individuals and populations. Differences at the basic individual level, i.e., genetic differences, are an important source of differences in susceptibility.
