Headache during airplane travel (“airplane headache”): first case in Greece

Airplane travel and lymphedema: a case study.

A single subject prospective study of the relationship between air travel and lymphedema is reported. This proof of concept study was aimed at assessing the feasibility of using self-measured, inter-limb impedance ratios as a quantitative measure of lymphedema immediately prior to and following flying. The participant, a breast cancer survivor with lymphedema, measured whole arm impedance prior...

Observations of Radiation from Airplane during Steps

The radiations produced by airplane fling in clouds were measured by using the New Mexico Tech Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) system during STEPS in 2000. The results indicated that the source powers of airplane radiations follow an approximate Pdistribution. This is a kind of radiation produced by a discharge. The maximum powers vary from minimum locatable values of about 1W typically up to 10k...

Conceptual Blending and Airplane Navigation

Fauconnier and Turner’s conceptual blending theory (1998) has been used to analyze many types of cognitive phenomena, particularly the role blending plays in language comprehension. In this paper we illustrate how blending also has a role in mediating expert performance, such as understanding the meaning of a chart or a navigation display. Pilots use blends to assess flight situations, predict ...

Postmeningitis headache: case report.

We report a case of a 18-year-old female patient that developed a migraine-like headache following an acute meningococcal meningitis. She had no previous history of recurrent headaches. The pain was intense, pulsatile and throbbing, typically unilateral, without aura. Its frequency increased during the following weeks and a prophylactic treatment with amitriptyline and atenolol was initiated. T...
