Background And Aims: Scuba diving for people with diabetes was discouraged due to hypoglycemia risks. However, evolving guidelines now enable safe diving for people with diabetes. Among them, the Diabete Sommerso® safety protocol.

Article Synopsis
  • * Dogs receiving the medetomidine-vatinoxan experienced lower mean arterial pressures (MAP) that stabilized at 102-104 mmHg, while those on medetomidine alone had significantly higher MAPs of 143-126 mmHg.
  • * Heart rate (HR) remained stable in the medetomidine-vatinoxan group, whereas it dropped significantly in the medetomidine group, suggesting that vatinoxan could be beneficial in preventing bradycardia and managing systemic pressure during anesthesia in dogs.

Global warming and the introduction of non-native fish represent major threats to freshwater biodiversity worldwide, but their effects have usually been investigated separately. Since most fish are ectotherms, their metabolism and feeding behaviour are highly influenced by temperature. Increasing water temperatures may thus exacerbate the impact of non-native fish, particularly those adapted to warmer conditions, on prey populations.

Antarctic biodiversity is affected by seasonal sea-ice dynamics driving basal resource availability. To (1) determine the role of intraspecific dietary variability in structuring benthic food webs sustaining Antarctic biodiversity, and (2) understand how food webs and the position of topologically central species vary with sea-ice cover, single benthic individuals' diets were studied by isotopic analysis before sea-ice breakup and afterwards. Isotopic trophospecies (or Isotopic Trophic Units) were investigated and food webs reconstructed using Bayesian Mixing Models.

Scuba diving was previously excluded because of hypoglycemic risks for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM). Specific eligibility criteria and a safety protocol have been defined, whereas continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have enhanced diabetes management. This study aims to assess the feasibility and accuracy of CGM Dexcom G7 and Free Style Libre 3 in a setting of repetitive scuba diving in T1DM, exploring the possibility of nonadjunctive use.
