We recently examined here the use of hyperbaric oxygen chambers as a tool to aid recuperation from slow-to-heal wounds and other health conditions. Link to that blog post: "Hyperbaric oxygen chambers--- nowadays not just science fiction."
That was in the context of the role hyperbaric oxygen chambers play in my visionary medical thriller, The Life After Life Conspiracy.
Today I came on another use of hyperbaric chambers, this in both USA Today and in more detail in Toronto's Globe and Mail.
American Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps 16 medals), has been "sleeping at 8,000 feet every night," in a hyperbaric chamber.
According to the Globe and Mail article, these chambers "are used by many athletes to replicate high-altitude conditions and boost levels of oxygen-rich blood cells." Link to the article by Rachel Cohen in the Globe and Mail
What's particularly interesting to me is that for healing purposes, patients enter the hyperbaric chambers and go as if underwater, where air pressure is heavier. Phelps and other athletes do the opposite: instead, they use the tanks set to simulate going up where the air is thinner. That simulated altitude changes the body make-up, stimulating the growth of red blood cells.
And bear in mind the rumor that singer Michael Jackson slept in a hyperbaric chamber to slow the aging process. Dr. Timothy Adkins (mentioned in my previous post, above) pointed out that he could not have slept all night in a chamber set to simulate underwater pressure: that would have resulted in damage and possible convulsions.
But --- and it is still a rumor, bear in mind --- perhaps Mr. Jackson, like Mr. Phelps, slept in a hyperbaric chamber set to a thinner atmosphere, as if on a mountain. Who knows?

I want to send an audio signal via infrared and then receive it and play it through speakers (headphones).. . The plan is to use some sort of ADC to convert the audio signal to digital, send the signal wirelessly, receive and clean it up using a schmitt and then a DAC to convert the signal back to an analogue one.. . It will then be played through the speakers. Can anyone help with any aspect of this - particularly some possible ways to send the digital signal via infrared.. . Thanks in advance.. http://www.eveningdressprom.co.uk How can i enter achat room in yahoo messenger?

Michael Phelps is NOT using a hyperbaric chamber. He has described using an altitude tent or HYPObaric chamber. Here’s an article that explains the difference: http://sportshyperbarics.com/articles/sport-hyperbaric-chambers-versus-altitude-tents/ Further, treating in a ‘hypo’baric chamber or altitude tent is very much like blood doping. It’s curious that this type of training is permitted for Olympic athletes. Perhaps that is why the media is using the term “hyperbaric chamber”.
