Human Decompression Modelling

چکیده
At present, no decompression algorithm is able to predict safe decompression for all dive scenarios. In practice, empirical adjustments are made by experienced organisations or divers in order to improve decompression profiles for the range of depths and durations needed on any particular dive. Bubble formation and growth in the human body are the fundamental causes of decompression sickness, and it is believed that there is significant scope for incorporating better modelling of these processes into the design of decompression algorithms.

A combined three-dimensional in vitro–in silico approach to modelling bubble dynamics in decompression sickness
The growth of bubbles within the body is widely believed to be the cause of decompression sickness (DCS). Dive computer algorithms that aim to prevent DCS by mathematically modelling bubble dynamics and tissue gas kinetics are challenging to validate. This is due to lack of understanding regarding the mechanism(s) leading from bubble formation to DCS. In this work, a biomimetic in vitro tissue ...
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 کاملHealth outcome following multi-day occupational air diving.
Acclimatization to decompression stress has been reported in caisson workers and helium-oxygen divers; however the alternative notion that the risk of decompression sickness increases with successive days of diving is widespread. We examined 201 multi-day series of 2 to 29 diving days identified retrospectively in a database of occupational air dives for evidence of acclimatization or sensitiza...
متن کاملKinematics and Dynamic Modelling of the Human Shoulder
This paper deals with kinematics and dynamics of the human shoulder in order to obtain the workspace related to the reachability of the wrist and applications to determine load for the wheelchair. The model contains six revolute degrees of freedom (D.O.F), two in costoclavicular and three in the shoulder joint and one in the elbow joint, while a six D.O.F model was developed according to given ...
متن کاملManagement 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...
