FOREWORD
This volume follows and updates AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON
DIVING AND SUBMARINE MEDICINE published by Gordon and Breach,
Science Publishers, Inc., in 1971. The time period covered is primarily the
calendar years 1970 and 1971. Also included, however, is much material from
the calendar years 1968 and 1969 not in the previous publication.
A brief analysis of the sources of material precedes the citations and
abstracts, which comprise the main section of the volume. The bibliography is
followed by a permuted subject index and an author index. Also included,
following the indexes, is a micro thesaurus.
Although no attempt has been made to do a critical subject analysis, such
an analysis could be accomplished through selecting a particular subject,
looking up the appropriate key works in the rotated index, identifying the
abstracts, analyzing them, obtaining complete copy as desired, and completing
the critical review.

SOURCES OF MATERIALS
It might be interesting to note what proportion of the nearly 1800 citations in this
bibliography has originated in what type of source. In compiling this tabulation, we have found
that, of the items that originated in forms other than scientific journal articles, 356 were
reports from government, industrial or scientific laboratories. Proceedings of conferences or
symposia contribute 254 items; this figure is somewhat deceptive, because this type of material
is not always available in published form. We have found 68 citations of books or parts of
books. Ten theses are included. In this volume we have not attempted to include patents.
The journal articles, which total over one thousand, have been found in 298 different
journals. There are 166 journals represented by one article only, 55 by two; 25 by three, and
nine by four. The 41 journals represented by five or more articles are listed below, in the order
of the size of their contributions. It should be noted that the popular commercial journals are
not represented fully in this volume, and for that reason, such journals as UnderSea
Technology and Oceanology International, accounting for over 60 abstracts, are not included in
the tabulation.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
In approximately 75% of the cases the complete article (hard copy) was seen
and the citation verified. If a satisfactory abstract was available, it was used and
credit given to the author. Abstracts which were prepared by the staff bear the
individual's initials, followed by BSCP.
In some instances, abstracts have been taken directly from abstracting
journals, in which case appropriate credit has been given. Thus, material was
used from the following: the abstract section of Aerospace Medicine (Aerosp.
Med.); Aerospace Medicine and Biology (Aerosp. Med. Biol.); Biological
Abstracts (BA); Engineering Index (Eng. Ind.); International Aerospace
Abstracts (IAA); the Library of Congress, Federal Research Division, S. and T.
Alert; Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR); Underwater Science
and Technology Bulletin (Underwater Sci. Tech. Bull.), which later became
Underwater Journal Information Bulletin (Underwater J. Inf. Bull.); U.S.
Government Research and Development Reports (USGRDR), which later
became Government Report Announcements (GRA). In the case of some
Government reports, the abstracts furnished by Document Control Data (DCD)
were used when no author's abstract existed.
The citations are arranged alphabetically by the surname of the senior author
and are numbered sequentially. Anonymous articles are listed chronologically,
and alphabetically by title. It will be noted that in a few instances numbers are
missing and, in others, items have been inserted by adding .1 to the preceding
number. These changes were due to rearrangement found to be necessary upon
revision.
A word on the availability of report literature might be of value to the users
of this bibliography. Documents bearing AD numbers, JPRS numbers, and N
numbers are available from the National Technical Information Service, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Springfield, Virginia 22151. Recent documents of 20
pages or less are $3.00 for printed copy, or $0.95 for microfiche. Longer
documents, or those more than two years old, will be higher; it is advisable to
inquire the cost in each case. In the citations of some reports no accession
number is given, because it was not known at the time the document was
recorded. It is possible to secure these reports from the National Technical
Information Service by giving as much bibliographic data as is available, if the
report is in fact in the NTIS collection. Documents bearing A numbers are
available from the Technical Information Service, American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 750 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10014.
In this case, printed copy is $5.00 for a maximum of 20 pages, and $0.25 for
each additional page. Microfiche are available for $1.00.

Assessing the life support systems of the Ben Franklin submarine.
In: Proceedings of the design engineering conference and show of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, Chicago, May 1970, Paper 70-DE-60, 8p.
With a successful completion of the Gulf Stream Dnft Mission, the Ben Franklin has more than proven itself.
During this miSSion, a six-man crew was sustained for a little more than 30 days by a system that was quite
umque In many respects. The system: (1) relied on natural convection for mmosphere control; (2) consumed
essentially no electrical energy; (3) cost under $45,000 including expendables; (4) could have performed for
60 days with minor modificatIOns. (Author's abstract) (Aerosp. Med. BIOI.)

Operator target detection performance as a function of the number of sonar echoes, interval
between transmissions and signal-to-noise ratio.
Goleta, Cal., Hum. Factors Res. Inc., Rep. 1700-1, 28p. June 1971.
(AD 726,741)
A major goal of designers of active sonar systems IS to obtain longer target detectIOn ranges. One consequence
of longer ranges is longer time intervals between transmissions. Another is lower signal-to-nolse ratios and thus
fewer transmissions that produce perceptible echoes from a target. The purpose of the study was to investi
gate the effects of these variables on operator target detection performance. The results indicated the desir
ability of history or memory type displays with long-range sonar systems to enhance operator detectIOn
performance. (Authors) (GRA)

The cortical evoked response and argon narcosis.
In: Aerospace Medical Association. Preprints of scientific program, 1970. Annual scientific
meeting, St. LOUIS, Apnl 27-30, 1970, p.40-41. Published by the Association.
Previous studies indicated that auditory evoked response was a good measure of mtrogen narcosIs. In thiS
study, the experiment was extended to argon. Auditory and ViSUal responses and paced arithmetic tests were
given to subjects breathing both air and an argon-oxygen mixture. No significant differences were observed in
either test between values obtained before and after exposure to pressure. During exposure to pressure, the
arithmetical errors were much greater in number with argon than with nitrogen while auditory responses were
the same. It IS concluded, therefore, that COrtiCal evoked responses do not constitute a reliable index of inert
gas narcosIS. Various aspects of this work are under further Investigation. (MFW/BSCP)

Cortical evoked response and inert gas narcosis in man.
Aerosp. Med. 43: 1181-1184; Nov. 1971.
Two senes of experiments were carned out to mvestigate the relationship between the depreSSIOn of the
cortical evoked response and inert gas narcosis. In the first series mental arithmetic performance and the
auditory evoked response (AER) were measured while breathing air and a 20-80% oxy-argon mixture at 4 and
7 ATA (atmospheres absolute). Compared to air, performance on the mental anthmetic task was significantly
poorer breathing the oxy-argon mixture but there was no difference in the degree to which the AER was
depressed. In addition there was no correlatIOn between anthmetic performance and the AER WIth either
breathing mixture. In the second senes the VER (ViSUal evoked response) was measured as well as the AER at
1 and 7 ATA, breathing the same two gas mixtures. The VER and AER were depressed at 7 ATA but there
was no difference in the degree of thiS depreSSIOn for either air or the oxygen-argon mixture. It was concluded
that the depression of the evoked response whlle breathmg either air or argon-oxygen m hyperbaric condi
tions is not a valid measure of inert gas narcosis. Moreover, the depreSSIOn cannot be accounted for in terms
of peripheral attenuation of the sensory signal which produces the evoked response, although thiS may be a
contributory factor in the case of the AER. (Authors' abstract)

The effect of hyperbaric exposure on serum constituents in the rat: a preliminary study.
U.S. Nav. Med. Res. lnst. M4 306.02-401OB, Rep.l, 9p. May 14,1970.
Rats were exposed to 90 psig on an 80:20 helium-oxygen gas mixture and decompressed on two different
schedules, designed to produce moderate and severe bends. Serum samples were obtained immediately after
the dive and analyzed for lipid distribution, serum lactic dehydrogenase, lipoproteins, haptoglobin, glucose,
and lactate. The results of these determinations are discussed in relation to decompression sickness. (Authors'

Lipid metabolism: I. Effects of pressure and gas composition on acetate-C 14 incorporation into
liver lipids.
Aerosp. Med. 42:146-148; Feb. 1971.
The rate of liver lipid biosynthesis was studied as a function of pressure and partial pressure of oxygen. The
partial pressure of oxygen was maintained at either 0.2 atm or 1.0 atm in the pressure range of 125 psig to
1,000 psig. Liver slices obtained from male Sprague-Dawley rats were incubated in the test environments in
Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing sodium acetate-CI4. The results obtained indicate that at oxygen
partial pressures in the region of 0.2 atm, the rate of incorporation of radiolabel into neutral lipid and
phospholipid is pressure-dependent. These results are discussed with respect to their possible metabolic
relationships to decompression sickness. (Authors' summary)

Can you communicate? Underwater?
In: 1971 Offshore Technology Conference, April 19-21, Houston, Texas. Preprints. Volume II,
p.747-752. Published by the Conference, 1971.
The use of communication equipment for working divers is unquestionable. Better utilization of this equip
ment will result from a basic understanding of the problem encountered in forming word sounds and acoustic
propagation. Microphones and masks present restrictions on the formation of proper word sounds, and
differences in speakers compound this distortion so that often intelligent speech is not present at the diver's
mask even before transmission. The ocean envuonment restricts range in a number of ways, many of which
are uncontrollable. To expect maximum range of a communicator without knowledge of the ocean environ
ment is expecting too much from any devIce. Many times an in-air check of transmiSSIOn and reception will
Identify problems associated with eqUipment malfunctions. And finally, helium speech is a distortion which is
correctable to a certain extent, mostly In the area of training and learning. (Author's summary)

Oxygen poisoning in mice. Ultrastructural and surfactant studies during exposure and recovery.
Arch. Pathol. 90(5):463-472; 1970.
A differential pulmonary response was observed In mice exposed to 90% oxygen. Many animals developed
respiratory distress and died, the remainder survIved to make a complete recovery on return to air. Although
the capillary endothelium was the initial reactIOn site, survival was dIrectly related to the structural integrity
of the type 1 alveolar epithelial cells. Destruction of this barrier was an irreversible event that resulted In
hyalIne membrane formation and death; surfactant changes appeared to be of secondary importance. (© BA)

Zur Frage der Therapie bei Dekompressionskrankheit und bei Luftembolie.
[Therapy in decompression sickness and air embolism].
Z. Rechtsmed. 68(5):225-238; 1971.
The results of too ngId decompression and of au embolIsm are descnbed. Possibilities for remOVIng the gas
bubbles from the blood vessels are discussed. AttentIOn IS especially focused on dIsturbances in the microCIr
culation and on the reactIOn of thrombocytes and leukocytes to the foreIgn body In the blood vessels, I.e., to
the gas bubbles. In decompression SIckness and In artenal aIr embolIsm the reactIOn to gas bubbles is present
particularly In artenoles and capillanes, whereas In venous aIr embolIsm the reaction is in the blood of the
nght atrium and ventncle of the heart. Because the Indirect results of rapid decompressIOn and of air
embolism are SImIlar to the early phases of most forms of shock, It IS proposed that decompreSSIOn sickness
and aIr embolIsm be treated in a SImIlar manner. FInally, It would be possible to treat professional divers
prophylactIcally WIth aspmn to lessen the nsk of decompreSSIOn SIckness Aspmn reduces the tendency of
fusing of thrombocytes. (EnglIsh summary)
