The cases of 23 men with mechanical urethritis due to insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra are presented. Seven patients had upper urinary tract infections and one died with gangrene of the genitalia and septicaemia.
Repeated dives are frequently performed in diving practice. The value of proper chronology of sequencing repeated dives into different depths was verified by analyzing three professional tabular decompression systems. Sequencing of dives from greater to smaller depths proved to be the only correct algorithm. Such an algorithm plays an important role in preventing the development of critical supersaturation with inert gas and of potential manifestations of decompression sickness in divers.

Two cases of barotrauma as a result of excess pulmonary pressure with subsequent air embolism are reported. Both cases involved serious diving safety errors. The morphology of this type of barotrauma is described, with particular reference to the etiology of the phenomena involved. Some specific points regarding the autopsy procedure in connection with such diving accidents are discussed.
The hyperventilation prior of apneic diving represents the important and dangerous pathophysiological phenomena, capable to evoke the fatal diving accident. The fall of arterial partial pressure of CO2 results after the hyperventilation, and thus the stimulation of the respiratory centre is lowered as well. The underwater black-out results, which leads to the diver's suffocation due to submersion. The work analyses in detail some pathophysiological aspects of the mentioned phenomena.
