Decompression illness in breath-hold diving is a rare dysbaric disease mainly characterized by stroke-like neurological disorders. The early use of DWI-MRI combined with ADC map in suspected cases can help in the early diagnosis and treatment.

From spasms to smiles: how facial recognition and tracking can quantify hemifacial spasm severity and predict treatment outcomes.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, University Medicine Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany.
Purpose: Currently available grading and classification systems for hemifacial spasm either rely on subjective assessments or are excessively intricate. Here, we make use of facial recognition and facial tracking technologies towards accurately grouping patients according to severity and characteristics of the spasms.
Methods: A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained preoperative videos database for hemifacial spasm was done.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the working and health conditions faced by divers in small-scale fisheries in the Midriff Islands Region of the Gulf of California, Mexico.
Methods: The study was conducted in five fishing communities. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to 113 fishers (~15% of the commercial divers in the region).
Physiological monitoring to prevent diving disorders.

Insight into human physiology is key to maintaining diver safety in underwater operational environments. Numerous hazardous physiological phenomena can occur during the descent, the time at depth, the ascent, and the hours after a dive that can have enduring consequences. While safety measures and strict adherence to dive protocols make these events uncommon, diving disorders still occur, often with insufficient understanding of the factors that triggered the event.

This joint position statement (JPS) on immersion pulmonary oedema (IPO) and diving is the product of a workshop held at the 52nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) from 12-17 May 2024, and consultation with the United Kingdom Diving Medical Committee (UKDMC), three members of which attended the meeting. The JPS is a consensus of experts with relevant evidence cited where available. The statement reviews the nomenclature, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, prehospital treatment, investigation of and the fitness for future compressed gas diving following an episode of IPO.
