Abstract The International Meeting on Ultrasound for Diving Research produced expert
consensus recommendations for ultrasound detection of vascular gas bubbles and the …

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

Purpose A reduction in ambient pressure or decompression from scuba diving can result in
ultrasound-detectable venous gas emboli (VGE). These environmental exposures carry a …

Introduction: Diving decompression theory hypothesizes inflammatory processes as a
source of micronuclei which could increase related risks. Therefore, we tested 10 healthy …

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

Decompression sickness (DCS) can result from the growth of bubbles in tissues and blood
during or after a reduction in ambient pressure, for example in scuba divers, compressed air …

Vascular bubble models, which present a realistic biophysical approach, hold great promise
for devising suitable diver decompression procedures. Nanobubbles were found to nucleate …

Background: Despite evolution in decompression algorithms, decompression illness is still
an issue nowadays. Reducing vascular gas emboli (VGE) production or preserving …

Introduction Measuring physiological parameters at depth is an emergent challenge for
athletic training, diver's safety and biomedical research. Recent advances in wearable …

Bubbles nucleate and develop after decompression at active spots on the luminal aspect of
ovine large blood vessels. Series of bubbles were shown to detach from the active spot with …
