has anyone looked at hematological & bichemical
parameters following these dives:
Crit, [Hb], plasma osmolarity, RBC fragility come to
mind as do plasma volume changes.

This would B fertile ground to assess the oxidative
stress of such dives, wh/, over the long haul, may B
more significant than the putative bubble problems.

I think Irvine & co deal w/ oxidative stress through
supplements of Vit E & C, wh/ would ameliorate the SOD
depletion, particularly the Cu/Zn SOD of the RBCs.

However, the peroxinitrate relaxation mediated
comprimise of vascular endothelial integrity does come
to mind as an area needing study.  

If I recollect correctly this was studied & published
(Undersea Hyperbar Med in the late 90's does come to
mind).  how it applies to the dives modelled here
would be of interest.

Safe bubbles
