Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is commonly used as treatment in several diseases,
such as non-healing chronic wounds, late radiation injuries and carbon monoxide …

Decompression illness (DCI) occurs following a reduction in ambient pressure.
Decompression bubbles can expand and develop only from pre-existing gas micronuclei …

The healthy benefits of regular physical exercise are mainly mediated by the stimulation of
oxidative and antioxidant capacities in skeletal muscle. Our understanding of the cellular …

Impaired flow mediated dilation (FMD), an index of vascular stress, is known after SCUBA
diving. This is related to a dysfunction of nitric oxide (NO) availability and a disturbance of …

Introduction Air embolism may complicate invasive medical procedures. Bubbles trigger
complement C3-mediated cytokine release, coagulation, and platelet activation in vitro in …

Previous studies have documented that decompression led to endothelial dysfunction with
controversial results. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between endothelial …

Purpose Previous studies have shown vascular dysfunction of main conductance arteries
and microvessels after diving. We aim to evaluate the impact of bubble formation on …

Literature highlights the involvement of disseminated thrombosis in the pathophysiology of
decompression sickness (DCS). We examined the effect of several antithrombotic treatments …

Studies conducted in divers indicate that endothelium function is impaired following a dive
even without decompression sickness (DCS). Our previous experiment conducted on rat …

Decompression stress can cause endothelial injury, leading to systematic inflammation and
prothrombotic phenomena. Our previous work found that endothelial injury following …
