General Medical Examinations

General medical examinations, also known as routine check-ups, are a type of medical examination that is performed by a healthcare professional to assess a person's overall health and well-being. These exams are typically recommended for healthy individuals who do not have any specific health concerns or conditions, but who want to ensure that they are maintaining good health.

During a general medical examination, a healthcare professional will typically take a medical history and perform a physical exam, which may include checking vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, and examining the skin, eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Our general medical examinations routinely include also spirometry, ECG and detailed blood tests. We use standard lab profiles (well-man /well-woman) that include 72 different tests however we can offer additional tests that are not included in the standard profile like tumoral markers or other specialized blood or urine tests.

The frequency of general medical examinations can vary depending on a person's age, health status, and other risk factors. For healthy adults, general medical examinations are typically recommended every 1-2 years. However, individuals with certain health conditions or risk factors may need more frequent examinations.

Diving medicals are specialized medical examinations that are performed on individuals who engage in scuba diving (sports or recreational) or other types of underwater activities. These examinations are designed to assess an individual's fitness to dive and to identify any health conditions that may increase the risk of injury or illness while diving.

A diving medical typically involves a comprehensive physical examination, including a review of the individual's medical history and any medications they may be taking. The exam may also include tests of lung function, hearing and vision, and a neurological assessment.

The purpose of a diving medical is to identify any health conditions that may increase the risk of diving-related injury or illness, such as lung disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, or seizure disorders. In some cases, a healthcare provider may recommend that an individual not engage in diving activities, or may recommend that they take certain precautions or limit the depth or duration of their dives following specific recommendations.

Diving medicals are typically recommended for individuals who engage in recreational or sport diving activities, and may be required by some dive organizations (PADI / DAN / BSAC / SSI). It is important to have a diving medical performed by a healthcare provider who has experience with diving medicine and who understands the unique risks and challenges associated with underwater activities.

HSE Diving Medical Examinations

HSE diving medicals refer to medical assessments conducted in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, primarily in the context of occupational diving. These medical examinations are crucial for ensuring the health and fitness of individuals engaged in professional diving activities. HSE diving medicals assess various aspects in order to determine an individual's capability to safely perform underwater tasks.

The examination typically covers areas such as lung function, cardiovascular system, ear and sinus health, and overall physical fitness. It aims to identify any medical conditions or factors that could pose risks during diving operations.

The evaluation of lung function during an HSE diving medical is crucial due to the fundamental role of the respiratory system in underwater activities. The examination assesses the diver's capacity to breathe effectively, ensuring that they can meet the increased respiratory demands and potential challenges associated with diving, such as changes in pressure and air supply.

The examination of ear and sinus health is equally significant, as these areas are particularly vulnerable to pressure changes in the underwater environment. Divers must have optimal ear and sinus function to facilitate equalization and prevent conditions like barotrauma or sinus squeeze.

Assessing overall physical fitness is a comprehensive aspect of HSE diving medicals. This involves evaluating the diver's cardiovascular health, muscular strength, and endurance. Divers need sufficient physical fitness to navigate underwater environments and respond effectively in emergency situations. The examination aims to identify any underlying health issues that could lead to fatigue, reduced endurance, or compromised decision-making underwater.

The importance of HSE diving medicals extends beyond individual health to collective safety standards in various industries. In sectors such as offshore oil and gas, underwater construction, and marine research, where commercial diving is prevalent, these medical examinations are integral to establishing and maintaining a safe working environment. They serve as a proactive measure to identify and address potential health risks, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents or emergencies during diving operations.

HSE diving medicals encompass a thorough evaluation of general medical status including fitness levels. This comprehensive approach aims to detect any medical conditions or factors that could pose risks during diving operations. By upholding rigorous safety standards in commercial diving industries, including offshore oil and gas, underwater construction, and marine research, HSE diving medicals contribute significantly to the well-being of divers and the overall safety of underwater work environments.

Meeting HSE standards for diving medicals is a prerequisite for obtaining or renewing diving certifications for professional and commercial diving activities. This stringent medical evaluation process helps ensure that divers are physically fit and equipped to handle the unique demands and potential hazards associated with their underwater work, contributing to a safer working environment in industries such as offshore oil and gas, underwater construction, and marine research.

Bideltoid Measurement

Bideltoid Measurement: Analyzing Acromion-to-Acromion Distance for Shoulder Width Assessment in Anthropological Studies, Ergonomic Design, and Clinical Evaluations

Bideltoid measurement, also known as biacromial breadth, specifically refers to the horizontal distance between the two acromion processes. The acromion processes are bony projections at the upper part of the shoulder blades (scapulae) that join with the collarbones (clavicles) to form the shoulder joint.

This measurement is typically used in medical and anthropological contexts to assess the skeletal structure of an individual. It helps determine the breadth of the shoulders and can provide information about body proportions, as well as assist in diagnosing certain conditions or evaluating physical development.

To measure bi-deltoid or bi-acromial breadth, a caliper or measuring tape is usually placed across the back of an individual, aligned with the acromion processes. The measurement is taken at the widest point between the two acromion processes, providing a quantification of the shoulder breadth.

Bi-acromial or bi-deltoid breadth can vary significantly among individuals and populations due to factors such as sex, age, genetics, and overall body size. The measurement is commonly used in anthropological studies, forensic analysis, and medical assessments, where an individual's skeletal structure and body proportions are of interest.

Understanding the medical standards required by the MCA helps ship crew members maintain their health and fitness levels to meet ongoing certification requirements throughout their careers.

Successfully passing the MCA ML5 medical examination is essential for obtaining or renewing relevant seafarer certifications required by international maritime regulations.

Ship crew members must ensure they meet the medical fitness standards outlined by the MCA and other relevant maritime authorities to remain compliant and eligible for their roles.

Although similar in nature, this is not the same as an ENG 1 medical certificate.
