INSTRUCTION IN METEOROLOGY FOR AVIATORS

Laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty in aviators.

Repair of inguinal hernias may be performed using either open surgery or laparoscopic techniques. Following surgery, a 6-wk waiting period is generally recommended before a pilot returns to active duty, including flight in high-performance aircraft. A shorter waiting period would be operationally useful and may be possible following either a trans-abdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) laparoscopic tec...

Nsam - 939 Airsickness in Student Aviators

Spinal disabilities in military and civil aviators.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the nature and cause of spinal disabilities among military and civil aircrew in India. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Studies suggest that military aircrew may be more prone than nonaviators to develop spinal disabilities. An in-depth analysis of such disabilities can enable policy makers to develop data-driven preventive health programs. Extensi...

Meteorology and Agroforestry Meteorology and Agroforestry

The physical environment affects and interacts with agroforestry systems through tree and crop growth, animal performance, management operations and interactions between the tree/shrub and non-tree components (abbreviated to tree/crop interactions). Interactions take place mainly through the media of microclimate, soil moisture and soil. They may have beneficial or adverse effects, for tree and...
