Hypoxia, even at non-lethal levels, is one of the most stressful events for all aerobic
organisms as it significantly affects a wide spectrum of physiological functions and energy …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutical approach based on exposure to pure
oxygen in an augmented atmospheric pressure. Although it has been used for years, the …

Underwater activities are characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen/nitrogen
species (RONS) and antioxidant mechanisms, which can be associated with an …

Blood-borne extracellular vesicles and inflammatory mediators were evaluated in divers
using a closed circuit rebreathing apparatus and custom-mixed gases to diminish some …

Oxygen is a powerful trigger for cellular reactions and is used in many pathologies, including
oxidative stress. However, the effects of oxygen over time and at different partial pressures …

In this study, the metabolic responses of hypoxic breathing for 1 h to inspired fractions of
10% and 15% oxygen were investigated. To this end, 14 healthy nonsmoking subjects (6 …

The “normobaric oxygen paradox”(NOP) describes the response to the return to normoxia
after a hyperoxic event, sensed by tissues as an oxygen shortage, up-regulating redox …

Exposure to acute normobaric hypoxia (NH) elicits reactive oxygen species (ROS)
accumulation, whose production kinetics and oxidative damage were here investigated …

Background and Objectives: Saturation diving is a technique used in commercial diving.
Decompression sickness (DCS) was the main concern of saturation safety, but procedures …

This project investigated glial-based lymphatic (glymphatic) function and its role in a murine
model of decompression sickness (DCS). DCS pathophysiology is traditionally viewed as …
