In the journal "New Scientist" was a very interesting article about
retinal damages by very small nitrogen bubbles (21. January 1989, p.
33). The authors suggested, that the dangers of decompression are
commonly underestimated. Has anybody of the scuba-l subscribers got
any news about this subject? As a medical doctor I try to set up a
study looking at other possibly overlooked brain damages.
I would appreciate any comments.
