Estimating the health consequences of flight attendant work: comparing flight attendant health to the general population in a cross-sectional study [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2018 Background Flight attendants are an understudied occupational group, despite undergoing a wide and unique range of adverse job-related exposures. In our study, we aimed to characterize the health profile of cabin crew relative to the U.S.

Identification of a new stem cell population that generates Drosophila flight muscles
eLife, 2014 How myoblast populations are regulated for the formation of muscles of different sizes is an essentially unanswered question. The large flight muscles of Drosophila develop from adult muscle progenitor (AMP) cells set-aside embryonically.

The self-reported health of U.S. flight attendants compared to the general population [PDF]
Environmental Health, 2014 Background: Few studies have examined the broad health effects of occupational exposures in flight attendants apart from disease-specific morbidity and mortality studies.

A population of descending neurons that regulates the flight motor of Drosophila [PDF]
Current Biology, 2021 SummaryLike many insect species, Drosophila melanogaster are capable of maintaining a stable flight trajectory for periods lasting up to several hours(1, 2). Because aerodynamic torque is roughly proportional to the fifth power of wing length(3), even small asymmetries in wing size require the maintenance of subtle bilateral differences in flapping ...

Population Biology of Lymphocytes: The Flight for Survival [PDF]
Annual Review of Immunology, 2000 In this essay we suggest that the primary goal of the cells of the immune system is to ensure their own growth and survival. In adults, in steady-state conditions, the number and distribution of lymphocyte populations is under homeostatic control. New lymphocytes that are continuously produced in primary and secondary lymphoid organs must compete with ...

Hearing Health Risk in a Population of Aircraft Carrier Flight Deck Personnel [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2004 This study evaluated the risk to hearing health associated with duty on the flight deck of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier. Descriptive data includes time-weighted average noise exposure and an evaluation of temporary threshold shift for a group of nonaviator flight deck personnel (FD), and a comparison of accrued permanent threshold shift among three ...

Sex specificity of dispersal behaviour and flight morphology varies among tree hollow beetle species
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Flight performance and dispersal behaviour can differ between sexes, resulting in sex-biased dispersal. The primary sex ratio of populations may also explain dispersal bias between sexes, as this bias may evolve with the primary sex ratio to ...

Internal sensations as a source of fear: exploring a link between hypoxia and flight phobia [PDF]
, 2013 Although flight phobia is very common in the general population, knowledge of the underlying mechanisms is limited. The aim of the current study is to determine whether hypoxia is selectively associated with flight anxiety. We wanted to explore levels of

PLoS ONE, 2014 Habitat loss and climate change are rapidly converting natural habitats and thereby increasing the significance of dispersal capacity for vulnerable species. Flight is necessary for dispersal in many insects, and differences in dispersal capacity may reflect dissimilarities in flight muscle aerobic capacity.

Cancer risks from cosmic radiation exposure in flight: A review
Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 Aircrew (consisting of flight attendants, pilots, or flight engineers/navigators) are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation (CIR) at flight altitude, which originates from solar activity and galactic sources.
