Diving-related disorders in commercial breath-hold divers (Ama) of Japan
Diving Hyperb Med. 2021 Jun 30;51(2):199-206. doi: 10.28920/dhm51.2.199-206.ABSTRACTDecompression illness (DCI) is well known in compressed-air diving but has been considered anecdotal in breath-hold divers. Nonetheless, reported cases and field studies of the Japanese Ama, commercial or professional breath-hold divers, support DCI as a clinical entity. Clinical characteristics of DCI in Ama divers mainly suggest neurological involvement, especially stroke-like cerebral events with sparing of the spinal cord. Female Ama divers achieving deep depths have rarely experienced a panic-like neurosis from anxiety disorders. Neuro...

Acute spontaneous spinal cord infarction: Utilisation of hyperbaric oxygen treatment, cerebrospinal fluid drainage and pentoxifylline.
CONCLUSIONS: SCI can be severely disabling. Triple therapy with pentoxifylline, CSF drainage and HBOT may reduce disability and further prospective trials are required. PMID: 33325011 [PubMed - in process]

Cerebral Blood Flow Responses to Aquatic Treadmill Exercise
Introduction: Aquatic treadmills are used as a rehabilitation method for conditions such as spinal cord injury, osteoarthritis, and stroke, and can facilitate an earlier return to exercise training for athletes. However, their effect on cerebral blood flow (CBF) responses has not been examined. We tested the hypothesis that aquatic treadmill exercise would augment CBF and lower HR compared with land-based treadmill exercise. Methods: Eleven participants completed incremental exercise (crossover design) starting from walking pace (4 km·h−1, immersed to iliac crest [aquatic], 6 km·h−1 [land]) and increasing 1 km·h−...

Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) Position Statement on Exercise and spinal cord injury
Publication date: Available online 9 March 2016 Source:Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport Author(s): Sean M Tweedy, Emma M Beckman, Tim Geraghty, Daniel Theisen, Claudio Perret, Lisa A Harvey, Yves C Vanlandewijck Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) may result in tetraplegia (motor, sensory and/or autonomic nervous system impairment of the arms, trunk and legs) or paraplegia (impairment of the trunk and/or legs only). The adverse effects of SCI on health, fitness and functioning are frequently compounded by profoundly sedentary behaviour. People with paraplegia (PP) and tetraplegia (TP) have reduced exercise ...
