Disease relevance of Aerospace Medicine

• Cases from the aerospace medicine resident's teaching file. Case #21. Progressive hematuria and suprapubic pain in a flight student. Presentation, evaluation, and discussion of non-surgical intervention [1].

High impact information on Aerospace Medicine

• This meeting report summarizes the findings of an international panel of experts in aerospace medicine and allergic rhinitis who were brought together to discuss issues related to the use of antihistamines, in particular the selective, H1-receptor antagonist fexofenadine, in pilots [2].
• Contemporary concerns in this regard have most recently been articulated by a turn-of-the-century Committee of the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, providing a visionary view of space medicine during travel beyond Earth orbit [3].
• Case from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Pigment dispersion syndrome [4].
• Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) has been used to evaluate orthostatic tolerance and for studying the effects of +Gz induced physiological strain and hence has great practical significance in aerospace medicine [5].
• Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920)--a German pioneer in high altitude physiology and aviation medicine, Part I: Biography [6].

Biological context of Aerospace Medicine

• American College of Preventive Medicine certifies specialists in public health, preventive medicine, occupational medicine, and aerospace medicine [7].
• The fluid shifts and the effect on the cardiovascular system arising from these gravitational changes have been frequently studied in space medicine by using body tilting, lower body negative pressure (LBNP) and centrifugal accelerators [8].

Associations of Aerospace Medicine with chemical compounds

• Occupational Medicine & Army aviation medicine. The doctors who assess groups as well as individuals. The flying doctors [9].
• 5. The possible clinical consequences (hydrosaline retention and antihypertensive drugs; use of clonidine in aerospace medicine) of these data are discussed [10].
• Cases from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Case #16. A student pilot with an avulsion fracture of C5 [11].
• As the United States and its international partners prepare Space Station Freedom components and systems for operational readiness, and as the space medicine community expands its research efforts, the U.S. Air Force finds itself with little direct input into these endeavors [12].

Gene context of Aerospace Medicine

• Aircrew are taught the basic principles of aviation medicine when they attend the RAF Aviation Medicine Training Centre for training in the use of their personal protective equipment assemblies [13].
• Cases from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Case H56. Pilot incapacitation of psychiatric etiology (PIPE) [14].
• Cases from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Case #13. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis [15].
• From a critical review of the literature and by using knowledge gained from research conducted in the past in the fields of diving and aerospace medicine safe protective procedures are proposed for the European EVA scenario [16].
• Evaluation of data acquired from a variety of sources indicates that the AME does, in fact, need refresher training in civil aviation medicine [17].
