The article in Scientific American last August says "paradoxically, bubbles do not seem to form in the blood itself" . It also mentions an experiment where an "isolated vein", complete with blood, was decompressed from 122ATM without bubbles forming. The article suggests that joints and the spaces nearby vertebrae are sites of bubble formation..... Expanding nuclei from these areas (the article says) may rupture capilliaries and enter circulation that way. If that is so, then joint-type bends would always be present, whether vascular problems appear or not??? Regards, Bernie Woolfrey
