Which books or manuals would you recommend on decompression that cover both practical applications to diving but also the related human physiology? I am looking for something that takes into account the findings in the last 5-10 years from the leading scientists in the field like @Dr Simon Mitchell, @David Doolette, Neal Pollock, @Dr. Doug Ebersole

Did you take a look at Mark Powell's two books; Deco and Technical diving?
Deco for Divers Paperback – December 30, 2014 by Mark Powell
Technical Diving
There is also a book about deco by Asser Salama:
Deep Into Deco: The Diver's Decompression Textbook, Revised Edition Paperback – March 8, 2018 by Asser Salama

Very good, but with those being 2014 & 2018, they could stand a refresh.
Has there been any real advancement of knowledge in this area since then? I doubt anything substantial. Diving sciences move at a snails pace.
Shall we open up the deep stop discussion? I think not...
IIRC Powell discussed it in his book. Been a while since I read it... Also the whole GF thing...

If you have an affiliation with a university library, you might be able to get access through them.
Or you can use Google Scholar. For example this search for the words "decompression" and "scuba" limited to 2018 or newer.

Pubmed got free articles but all the salient points have been thoroughly discussed here by some of the preeminent researchers in the field and its free AND amusing.
The content in the forum is amazing but it requires quite a bit of research. It would be great to have a manual that builds up from foundations to tactical implications in one go.
