Frequently Asked Questions on Diving Medicine

[vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column el_class=”page-text”][vc_column_text]The Psoriatic Arthritis is a musculo-skeletal inflammatory chronical disease and COULD BE itself a contraindication for diving IF NOT WELL CONTROLLED, as it may facilitate decompression stress. Moreover, Metotrexate medication could imply further risk for its side effects which include lung toxicity and myelotoxicity. Hence you need to have your student’s fitness to dive necessarily verified by a specialist in diving and hyperbaric medicine in agreement with the rheumatologist.

The clinical manifestations of the disease can also vary greatly from person to person, for example, some patients suffer more from the cutaneous manifestations of the disease (typical desquamative lesions and scabs), while others suffer from the arthritic type (joint and girdle pain). Over the course of a lifetime, however, the disease itself can vary, alternating between flares and periods of ‘quiescence’.

Lo que se sabe básicamente se refiere a los implantes mamarios y, en general, afirma que son seguros y fiables. Las precauciones específicas que deben tomarse son genéricas y mecánicas.
Existen precauciones sencillas que se pueden tomar para proteger las prótesis de desplazamientos o roturas, como no apretar demasiado las correas de los hombros o las correas de la chaqueta y no utilizar trajes de neopreno demasiado ajustados.
La posibilidad real y habitual de que se formen burbujas de gas inerte en el interior de los implantes no parece ser de gran importancia, ya que este fenómeno se limitaría al interior del implante y no causaría daños significativos. Esto se aplica tanto a los implantes fabricados únicamente con silicona como a los implantes salinos. No hay información estadísticamente significativa sobre los rellenos de tejidos blandos o los implantes inyectables, aunque, en teoría, podría existir el riesgo de que se produjeran burbujas localizadas a un ritmo diferente al de los tejidos circundantes. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta que el relleno se inyecta en el tejido y puede moverse libremente en las zonas circundantes, es posible que se produzca un intercambio de gases, pero sin riesgo significativo de daños.
