DIVING MEDICINE

Diving Medicine is a growing medical speciality that focuses on the study, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses related to changes in pressure and the undersea environment. This area is rapidly expanding its knowledge base as the popularity of diving and undersea exploration continues to explode. A primary focus of diving medicine is to assess individual "Diving Fitness". As more and more people take to the water, there is an increased need to safely prepare or assess ability to dive among patients with various disease states. Particularly, dive physicians must understand how various ENT, Eye, Heart, Pulmonary, Gastrointestinal, Bone and Joint, Hematologic, Endocrine and Metabolic disease states affect the ability to dive. In addition, dive physicians can offer recommendations for people about flying and altitude, physchology and drugs, dental work, women specific concerns, hazardous marine life, long term effects of diving and specific treatment modalities if an accident occurs.
The primary accidents occuring in diving typically deal with effect pressure has on the various gases in your body. Most dive physicians treat patients for problems with equalizing pressure in their ears, sinus difficulties and of course barotrauma due to rapid ascension - "the bends". While these areas of dive medicine are perhaps most critical to understand in terms of patient care and treatment. I have chosen to speak on the more exotic, but rare, injuries from interactions with marine life. 

Transparent-Headed Fish

With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes--topped by green, orblike lenses--in a picture released today but taken in 2004.
The fish, discovered alive in the deep water off California's central coast by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), is the first specimen of its kind to be found with its soft transparent dome intact.
The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939--but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets

Fire Tornado

A fire whirl comes perilously close to homes during the Corona Fire on November 15, 2008, in Yorba Linda, California.

Fire tornadoes can set objects in their paths ablaze, and they can hurl burning debris out into their surroundings.

The winds generated by a fire tornado can also be dangerous. Large fire tornadoes can create wind speeds of more than a hundred miles (160 kilometers) an hour—strong enough to knock down trees.

The Colour of Clouds

When I was knee high to a grass hopper I loved to watch clouds. Maybe all children love to play the game of spotting animals in the shapes of the clouds. Bright white clouds on a clear blue sky look wonderful, and even as an adult it is easy to get lost in them.

White Clouds

But why are clouds white? The simple answer is that they reflect very well the light that falls on them. Clouds are illuminated by light from the sun, and light from the sun is seen as white by our eyes, a mix of all the colours of the rainbow - which produces white. Clouds are made up of many small water drops and ice crystals. Light can reflect and scatter so many ways from and in a cloud that when illuminated directly it ends up looking an fairly even and bright white.

Rainbows

A rainbow is caused by sunshine illuminating water drops usually in the form of rain, but it could be spray from a water fall or fountain. But a rainbow is not all over the place, it is always to be seen in a specific location in the sky with respect to the sun. A rainbow is always a 42 degree arc around the anti solar point. The anti solar point is the exact opposite spot from the sun, and is easily found as the shadow of your head. This is actually a cone 42 degrees around the anti solar point with the apex at your head. To see a rainbow there needs to be water drops some where in this thin cone which are illuminated by sun light.

TOP 10 Strange Phenomena of the Mind

The mind is a wonderful thing – there is so much about it which remains a mystery to this day. Science is able to describe strange phenomena, but can not account for their origins. While most of us are familiar with one or two on this list, many others are mostly unknown outside of the psychological realm. This is a list of the top ten strange mental phenomena.

We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time – of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances – of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remember it! – Charles Dickens

10. Déjà Vu

Déjà vu is the experience of being certain that you have experienced or seen a new situation previously – you feel as though the event has already happened or is repeating itself. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of eeriness, strangeness, or weirdness. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is a firm sense that it has truly occurred in the past.

Strange Phenomena

How’s this for spooky? I happen to be thinking about a story by speculative fiction writer Bruce McAllister a couple of weeks ago. Two or three days later, a book for review arrives in the mail: It’s the novel version of McAllister’s short story.

But that’s not the best part. The book is Dream Baby, a novel about psychics forced by the U.S. Government to participate in special ops missions during the Vietnam War. The novel was first published in 1989. Now it’s been reprinted in a new trade paperback edition.

Spiritual Intelligence

What is Spiritual Intelligence and Why Should You Care? - The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning "breath" . Spirit is both the breather and the breath, the underlying nonphysical substance of all life.

Intelligence comes from the Latin, intellegentia. Intellegentia comes from: inter-"between" plus legere-"choose, pick out, read" inter-lege-nt-ia. It literally means "choosing between".

10. Pygmy hippopotamus

The pygmy hippo is a solitary animal that lives among dense vegetation along streams and swamps and in the rainforests of West Africa. It sometimes lives in cultivated areas, but the pygmy hippo is shy: it avoids people, as well as other hippos. Each hippo has its own territory. The male’s territory is larger than the female’s; both mark their territorial boundaries with their droppings. The pygmy hippo feeds mainly when it is dark. It spends most of the day resting within its territory. It changes resting places once or twice a week.

10 Most Dangerous Marine Creatures

1. Chironex (Box Jellyfish)

This beautiful yet deadly animal is native to Northern Australia and is also some times referred to as the 'marine stinger' or 'sea wasp'. It is believed to be one of the, if not the most venomous creature around. This jellyfish has tentacles which are covered in high amounts of nematocysts as well as venom.

The Chironex is one of the largest jellyfish in these waters and it's bell can grow to the size of a soccer ball. Each corner of the bell has 15 tentacles.The sting from a Chironex can be fatal and is extremely painful, often associated with severe effects on the victims nervous system and heart. These jellyfish are known for their ability to kill a victim within 4 minutes, faster than any snake. If stung one should apply vinegar to the sting as to prevent nematocysts which have not yet been let off. CPR may also be required shortly after the sting has taken place. It is important if stung to immediately seek medical attention. An anti-venom for the Chironex does not exist, making the importance of experienced help a necessary.

So if you head to Northern Australia for some diving, be sure that you look out for warnings signs on beaches about these creatures and never take the threat of them lightly.

Which Idol Hopefuls Triumphed in New Orleans?

From left: Steven Tyler, Ryan Seactrest, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson

It's night two of American Idol and Steven Tyler is running away the show.

He arrived at the New Orleans auditions wearing a little feathered hat and made a dirty little bleeped-out joke about it. I don't think Randy would do that.

Apparently the new judge will say anything. Whether that gives him real critical value, it's at least a legitimate (if minor) form of entertainment – sort of like waiting for malapropisms from political figures.

When local boy Randy was surprised by a visit from his old high-school football coach, Steven asked: "So, coach, did you ever paddle his [expletive]?" And when he saw a photo of a rather husky young Randy as a shot-putter, Steven asked: "Which is the shot put?"
