Aircrew dosimetry using the predictive code for aircrew radiation exposure (PCAIRE)
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2005During 2003, a portable instrument suite was used to conduct cosmic radiation measurements on 49 jet-altitude flights, which brings the total number of in-flight measurements by this research group to over 160 flights since 1999. From previous measurements, correlations have been developed to allow for the interpolation of the dose-equivalent rate for ...

Jet lag and sleepiness In aircrew
Journal of Sleep Research, 1995SUMMARY Jet‐lag and day‐time sleepiness cannot be avoided in transmeridian operations, because work hours of aircrews interfere with the circadian system through irregular work‐rest schedules and rapid time‐zone transitions. Although the primary cause of accidents is usually the human factor, jet lag and sleepiness have seldom been officially ...

Stress Medicine, 1985
AbstractProfessional aircrew, pilots especially, are subjected to a cumulative complexity of stresses unique in occupational medicine. The assessment of strain and of ‘stress thresholds’ and the prediction of breakdown under stress by psychophysiological techniques are areas of contemporary aeromedical research.Stress management techniques have been ...

On 18 June, 1914 Lawrence, son of Elmer Sperry (founder of the Sperry Gyroscope Company) flew over a crowd assembled at Argenteuil, near Paris (Fig. 1). His aircraft was a Curtiss C2 flying boat and the purpose of the flight was to demonstrate the Sperry Gyroscopic Stabilizer in a competition organized by the Aero Club of France.

Epidemiological studies of cancer in aircrew
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2009Exposure to cosmic ionising radiation, in addition to other specific occupational risks, is of concern to aircrew members. Epidemiological studies provide an objective way to assess the health of this occupational group. We systematically reviewed the epidemiological literature on health of aircrew members since 1990, focusing on cancer as the endpoint

The Oxford English Dictionary (2013) defines medication as ‘a drug or other form of medicine that is used to treat or prevent disease’. Therefore, in the broadest sense, medication includes prescription only and over the counter drugs, traditional herbal medicines and homeopathic remedies.

The SIEVERT system for aircrew dosimetry
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2009Flight personnel are likely to receive an effective dose of several mSv in 1 y of professional activity. In France, the order of 8 December 2003 requires airline companies to monitor the exposure of their flight personnel. This is why public authorities have made the SIEVERT system (a system for evaluating exposure to cosmic radiation in air transport),

Epidemiologic Studies Of Pilots And Aircrew
Health Physics, 2000During flight, pilots and cabin crew are exposed to increased levels of cosmic radiation which consists primarily of neutrons and gamma rays. Neutron dosimetry is not straightforward, but typical annual effective doses are estimated to range between two and five mSv.

Cosmic radiation and aircrew exposure
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2009The radiation field at flight altitudes is generated by the interaction of the primary cosmic radiation from space with atoms of the atmosphere. The cosmic particle flux is significantly higher on board aircraft than at the ground level and its intensity depends on latitude, altitude, solar activity and solar eruptions.

Barodontalgia Among Aircrew and Divers
Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance, 2019BACKGROUND: Barodontalgia, barometric pressure-induced dental pain, may jeopardize diving/flight safety. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the rate of barodontalgia among military and civilian divers and aircrews based on previous reports.METHODS: We analyzed the data of 4894 aircrew/divers reported in the literature.
