A Multi-Modal Approach for Investigating the Physiological Responses to Breath-Holding in Diving Mammals
(2023)The ocean environment poses several adversities to usual mammalian function. Perhaps most consequential to life is the lack of air underwater. For marine mammals, like whales and dolphins, that are required to perform breath-hold ... -
Can my patient dive after a first episode of primary spontaneous pneumothorax? A systematic review of the literature.
(Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc, 2018-03)Patients with prior primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) frequently seek clearance to dive. Despite wide consensus in precluding compressed-air diving in this population, there is a paucity of data to support this decision. ... -
Diagnosis of Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema-A Review.
(Frontiers in physiology, 2017-01)Swimming induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is a complication that can occur during exercise with the possibility of misdiagnosis and can quickly become life threatening; however, medical literature infrequently describes SIPE. ... -
Environmental Physiology and Diving Medicine.
(Frontiers in psychology, 2018-01)Man's experience and exploration of the underwater environment has been recorded from ancient times and today encompasses large sections of the population for sport enjoyment, recreational and commercial purpose, as well ... -
Hypercapnia in diving: a review of CO₂ retention in submersed exercise at depth.
(Undersea Hyperb Med, 2017-05)Carbon dioxide (CO₂) retention, or hypercapnia, is a known risk of diving that can cause mental and physical impairments leading to life-threatening accidents. Often, such accidents occur due to elevated inspired carbon ... -
Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema: Pathophysiology and Risk Reduction With Sildenafil.
(Circulation, 2016-03-08)BACKGROUND: Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) occurs during swimming or scuba diving, often in young individuals with no predisposing conditions, and its pathophysiology is poorly understood. This study tested the ...
