Journal Article

A review of recent neurochemical data on inert gas narcosis.

TL;DR: The desensitization of the GABAA receptors on DA cells during recurrent exposures and the parallel long-lasting decrease of glutamate coupled to the increase in NMDA receptor sensitivity suggest a nitrogen neurotoxicity or addiction induced by recurrent exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Nitrogen Narcosis and Helium Pressure Effects on Striatal Amino Acids: A Microdialysis Study in Rats

TL;DR: Nitrogen induces a reduction in glutamate and in other amino acids that could partly explain the decrease in striatal dopamine level as well as the motor and cognitive disturbances reported in nitrogen narcosis.
Journal Article

Extremely deep recreational dives: the risk for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) retention and high pressure neurological syndrome (HPNS)

TL;DR: The scope of modern diving medicine for recreational divers should be expanded also to cover these problems, which previously were assigned exclusively to professional and military divers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Up-Regulation of Antioxidant Proteins in the Plasma Proteome during Saturation Diving: Unique Coincidence under Hypobaric Hypoxia.

TL;DR: These plasma proteins up-regulated during SD have a common function as anti-oxidants and activate a defense mechanism to counteract the effects of hyperbaric-hyperoxic conditions during SD.
Journal Article

HPNS seizure risk: a role for the Golgi-associated retrograde protein complex?

TL;DR: It appears that a single nearly null mutation in a distal region of Vps52 3'UTR (untranslated region) defined by a DNA probe set is associated with > 60% of the seizure risk difference between the high- and low-risk strains DBA/2 and C57BL/6, respectively.

The effect of high pressure on the kinetics of monoamine transmitters in the rat brain.

TL;DR: Among the three monoamine transmitter systems, that mediated by 5-HT may be most important in the pathogenesis of the high pressure neurologic syndrome, the effect of 71 ATA pressure on the turnover of serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine was studied.
