Book Description
The Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory is conducting a radiological survey to determine the prevalence of dysbaric osteonecrosis in U.S. Navy Divers and to develop epidemiological data related to those aspects of the hyperbaric environment that contribute to the ultimate occurrence of the lesions. Twelve juxta-articular lesions and nine head, neck or shaft lesions have been identified in the extremities of fifteen divers who are radiologically positive cases of dysbaric osteonecrosis among 611 non-randomly selected divers surveyed. While the number of positive cases is too small to draw statistically reliable conclusions, certain trends are evident. Lesions were most common in the shoulders and in older divers. Saturation divers and all other helium divers had almost the same percentage of positive cases but air divers had a slightly lower percentage than either group. Data derived from an enlarging survey population should provide additional insight into the epidemiology of the condition

Book Description
The enormous importance of the diseases of the locomotor system in all populations and the large component of general clinical practice which they represent have not, in the past, been matched by an appropriate pathological effort. Increasing expectation of an active and long life has resulted in a great increase in specialisation in Rheumatology and rehabilitation of those with crippling diseases. This volume presents many of the pathological advances that have followed this clini cal interest, beginning with reviews of changes in biological materials obtained by in vasive investigation of joints, continuing with an account of therapy Goint replace ment) and also describing a "new" hazard - hyperbaric injury. Experimental models of joint disease are also described as are other entities such as crystal deposition dis ease. A detailed consideration of the electron microscopy of bone tumours is included since this data is not widely available in current texts. Finally, the role of the HLA system in rheumatic disease is included, indicating the value of close co-operation between clinician and pathologist in defining and link ing the various rheumatic syndromes.
