Military jet pilots have higher p-wave dispersions compared to the transport aircraft aircrew [PDF]

International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, 2016
Objectives: For the purpose of flight safety military aircrew must be healthy. P-wave dispersion (PWD) is the p-wave length difference in an electrocardiographic (ECG) examination and represents the risk of developing atrial fibrillation. In the study we

Tissue-Level Neck Response in Rotary-Wing Aircrew With Head-Supported Mass Assessed With Finite Element Model. [PDF]

Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng
Rotary‐wing aircrew have reported the occurrence of neck pain, potentially associated with rapid scanning tasks and head‐supported mass (HSM). The aim of this study is to gain additional insight into the interaction of HSM and neck positions with the innervated tissues in the neck.

Correlates of white matter hyperintensities in Royal Canadian Air Force pilots and aircrew [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Military aircrew can be exposed to extreme occupational and physiological stressors, such as extreme G‐forces, decompression stress, and intermittent hypoxia and/or hyperoxia. These stressors may contribute to cognitive dysfunction and neurobiological damage. Previous studies on U.S.
