Background: Thrombosis of the left internal jugular vein in an astronaut aboard International Space Station was recently described, incidentally discovered during a research study blood flow neck veins microgravity. Given this event, and high incidence abnormalities, National Aeronautics Administration (NASA) instituted occupational surveillance program to evaluate astronauts for venous thrombosis. Methods: Duplex ultrasound bilateral conducted on all NASA terrestrially, at three points...
Introduction: In April 2016 the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) consensus guidelines began recommending annual cardiovascular risk stratification commercial divers using Framingham Risk Score (FRS). For those at elevated risk, further testing is recommended. This approach has raised concerns about potential operational and financial impacts. However, prevalence need for additional among not known. Methods: Clinical data required to calculate FRS was ab- stracted 190 in...
