Physical examination of scuba divers.

With the increasing popularity of courses in scuba diving, prospective diving students coming to physicians for medical examinations are presenting a wide range of ages and physical makeup. A working knowledge of medical fitness for diving and of diving medical emergencies will assist the nondiving physician in establishing a basic medical history and examination for the student scuba diver.

Scuba diving accidents.

The principal scuba diving medical problems of barotrauma, air embolism and decompression sickness have as their pathophysiologic basis the Ideal Gas Law and Boyle's Law. Hyperbaric chamber recompression therapy is the only definitive treatment of air embolism and decompression sickness. However, with a basic knowledge of diving medicine, the family physician can provide effective supportive care to the patient prior to initiation of hyperbaric therapy.

Epidemiology of reported syphilis among U.S. Navy and Marine Corps personnel, 1985-1987.

The authors analyzed four hundred fifty-six cases of syphilis reported via a passive disease surveillance system in the Navy and Marine Corps during 1985-1987. The annual incidence of all reported cases significantly increased during this time from approximately 16 out of 100,000 in 1985 to 23 out of 100,000 in 1987. Much of this increase is attributed to concurrent increased rates of primary syphilis and late latent syphilis. Incidence rates for all stages of syphilis combined increased significantly among men and blacks during these years. Cumulatively, most reported patients were male (422, 96.1%), aged 20-24 years (204, 55.1%), E-3 (junior) enlisted pay grade (101, 30.1%), and black (217, 53.8%). Sexual exposures were reported most frequently from the eastern U.S. coast and from western Pacific countries.
