High-altitude decompression illness: case report and discussion.

Decompression sickness: an increasing risk for the private pilot.

Decompression sickness is not an appreciated hazard among the private pilot community. This is of growing concern with the increasing number of nonpressurized aircraft capable of flying to altitudes in excess of 5,468 m (18,000 ft). A case report is presented of a 42-year-old pilot who apparently experienced decompression sickness at flight level 250 which went unrecognized until several months...

Decompression to altitude: assumptions, experimental evidence, and future directions.

Although differences exist, hypobaric and hyperbaric exposures share common physiological, biochemical, and clinical features, and their comparison may provide further insight into the mechanisms of decompression stress. Although altitude decompression illness (DCI) has been experienced by high-altitude Air Force pilots and is common in ground-based experiments simulating decompression profiles...

Management of Odontogenic Keratocyst through Decompression and Enucleation Approach: A Case Report

Abstract   BACKGROUNackground and aimD & AIM: Keratinized odontogenic cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst that is mainly due to dental lamina. This cyst has the nature of local invasion and high recurrence. There are several therapeutic measures to control the recurrence of this cyst in studies. One of the conservative approaches is to use an enucleation followed by decompression techn...
