Flying after diving Vrije Universiteit Brussel
INTRODUCTION: Inert gas accumulated after multiple recreational dives can generate tissue supersaturation and bubble formation when ambient pressure decreases. We hypothesized that this could happen even if divers respected the currently recommended 24-hour pre-flight surface interval (PFSI).
METHODS: We performed transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) on a group of 56 healthy scuba divers (39 male, 17 female) as follows: first ...

Stroke is usually a consequence of an underlying vessel wall disease that has lasted for a longer period. This vessel wall disease is commonly silent or without prominent symptoms. Damage to the small penetrating arterioles of the brain, arteriolosclerosis, induced by ...
