[Prediction of G-load (Gz) tolerance based on various functional tests].

The purpose of the present study was to analyze and sum up the data on the methods of predicting g-tolerance (+Gz) utilizing various functional tests within the program of medical flight certification. The study involved 478 fighter pilots who were examined at the Central Military Scientific/Research Aviation Hospital. The age of examinates varied from 25 to 50 years (35 yr.

[Evaluation of the effectiveness of a universal pneumatic stimulating system as new therapeutic and rehabilitative means for flying personnel].

Therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy of UPS-1600 was evaluated in relation to various types of diseases. The work involved 86 in-patients who were examined and treated in the Central Military Scientific Research Aviation Hospital. 66% of the patients exhibited a positive therapeutic effect of pneumo-massage combined with the routine methods of treatment.

[Long-term G loads (+Gz) and the prediction of their tolerance].

The impacts of comparatively low (1.5-3 G) though prolonged (up to 40 min) "head-pelvis" (+Gz) accelerations at the final and most challenging stage of space flight, i.e.

[Hemodynamic types in pilots and their clinical and expert-evaluation significance].

At the present time two approaches to the hemodynamics types can be distinguished in the literature: some authors maintain that they are variants of the norm, while others claim that they emerge in the course of disease. The purpose of the present investigation was to study the different viewpoints and to clarity the clinical and diagnostic role of hemodynamics types in aviation medicine. Altogether 293 pilots were examined, 49 of which were essentially healthy and 244 had various cardiovascular pathologies.
