Bubbles are known to form in the body after scuba dives, even those done well within the
decompression model limits. These can sometimes trigger decompression sickness and the …

Bubbles can form in the body during or after decompression from pressure exposures such
as those undergone by scuba divers, astronauts, caisson and tunnel workers. Bubble growth …

Renal (peritubular) tissue hypoxia is a well-known physiological trigger for erythropoietin
(EPO) production. We investigated the effect of rebound relative hypoxia after hyperoxia …

The present paper reports the production of Ba-alginate microspheres by microfluidic chip
technology. The general production strategy is based on the formation of an alginate …
