This book was released on 1982 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies focused on three main areas: Decompression Sickness, Dysbaric Osteonecrosis and Dysbaric Alteration of the Blood-Brain Barrier. On decompression sickness, attempts were made to elucidate pathogenetic mechanisms. Several hypotheses were advanced and novel pathogenetic concepts were proposed. On the basis of new theoretical considerations we were able to develop means for the prevention or amelioration of the disease. Regarding dysbaric osteonecrosis, we developed an animal model which permitted studies on the etiology predisposition and pathogenesis of the disorder. The most recrnt investigations covered by this report involve dysbaric modification of blood-tissue barriers, an observation which was made in our Laboratories few years ago. The report includes an overview (summary) of the investigations conducted in these areas with references to pertinent publications. In lieu of detailed description of the work done, reprints to pertinent publications. In lieu of detailed description of the work done, reprints of representative articles have been attached. We hope that this material might be of help to those interested in the fields of dysbaric disroders.
