Nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism (NTPE) is defined as embolisation to the pulmonary
circulation of different cell types (adipocytes, haematopoietic, amniotic, trophoblastic or …

In saturation diving, divers stay under pressure until most of their tissues are saturated with
breathing gas. Divers spend a long time in isolation exposed to increased partial pressure of …

Diving‐induced acute alterations in cardiovascular function such as arterial endothelial
dysfunction, increased pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and reduced heart function have …

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of successive deep dives on endothelial
function of large conduit arteries and plasma pro‐oxidant and antioxidant activity. Seven …

This resource remains the leading text on diving medicine, written to fulfil the requirements
of any general physician wishing to advise their patients appropriately when a diving trip is …

Objective: To investigate whether prehydration 90 min before a dive could decrease bubble
formation, and to evaluate the consequent adjustments in plasma volume (PV), water …

Purpose Previous studies have shown that bubble formation induced endothelial damage
on conduit arteries. We aim to evaluate the effect of diving on microvascular and …

BACKGROUND: Using ultrasound imaging, vascular gas emboli (VGE) are observed after
asymptomatic scuba dives and are considered a key element in the potential development …
