}Recently, a new cavitation model has been proposed in which bubble formation in aqueous media is initiated by spherical gas nuclei stabilized by surface‐active membranes of varying gas permeability. The data which originally motivated this development were obtained mainly by subjecting shallow gelatin samples to rectangular pressure schedules consisting of a rapid compression, equilibration of the sample at some constant increased pressure, and a rapid decompression. Since the initial pressure…

A cavitation model developed at the University of Hawaii in which spherical gas nuclei are stabilized by surface-active skins of varying gas permeability provides a precise quantitative description of bubble counts made in supersaturated gelatin, and it accurately predicts levels of incidence for decompression sickness in several animal species.

Many features of decompression from diving correlate with this finding of AHS on the blood vessels, and constant contact between nanobubbles and plasma may result in distortion of proteins and their transformation into autoantigens.
