Case report: Biphasic autonomic response in decompression sickness: HRV and sinoatrial findings by Gerald Schmitz

“…BackgroundDecompression sickness (DCS) may involve neurological and cardiovascular systems, but cardiac autonomic dysfunction is rarely documented. Heart rate variability (HRV) can provide insight into autonomic modulation in such cases, particularly when incorporating advanced nonlinear and dynamic techniques.CaseWe present a 35-year-old recreational diver who developed neurological DCS and persistent bradycardia following multiple consecutive dives. …”

Physics-based simulation of seismicity based on fault kinematic models: a case study of the Northern Shanxi Rift, North China by Shangwu Song, Yuhang Li, Ming Hao, Peng Han, Ke Jia, Qingliang Wang

“…In contrast, the North Hengshan fault exhibits the lowest CoV value, indicating relatively stable seismicity and a quasi-periodic pattern. Correlation analysis between fault slip rates and recurrence interval variability reveals that faults with lower slip rates tend to exhibit stronger clustering behavior, while faults with higher slip rates tend to exhibit a more pronounced quasi-periodic pattern. …”
