Reduction in EEG theta power as a potential marker for spatial disorientation during flight.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, 1 Ben-Gurion Blvd, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
During flight, spatial disorientation (SD) commonly occurs when a pilot's perception conflicts with the aircraft's actual motion, attitude, or position. A prevalent form of SD is the somatogyral illusion, which is elicited by constant speed rotation and causes a false perception of motion in the opposite direction when the rotation ceases. This research aimed to investigate changes in brain activity that occur when experiencing a somatogyral illusion by simulating conditions closely mimicking flight conditions to gain insight into how to better manage this illusion during flight.

Aerosp Med Hum Perform
November 2024
Introduction: Flight attendants are constantly exposed to high-stress environments that could lead to the development of depression. The COVID-19 pandemic brought out new risk factors that could affect flight attendants' mental health, such as reduced flight hours and fear of the disease itself, which other studies have shown was associated with depression. We aimed to find out whether reduced flight hours, fear of COVID-19, and other factors were associated with depression in flight attendants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a case series of barotrauma in a pilot population exhibiting nasal polyposis and to discuss the decisions about their flight fitness.
Methods: There were 17 pilots with nasal polyposis who were referred to the Head and Neck Department of the National Pilot Expertise Center.
Characteristics of In-Flight Medical Emergencies on a Commercial Airline in Mainland China: Retrospective Study.
JMIR Public Health Surveill
December 2024
Shanghai Institute of Aviation Medicine, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: In-flight medical emergencies (IMEs) can have severe outcomes, including the deaths of passengers and aircraft diversions. Information is lacking regarding the incidence rate and characteristics of IMEs in most countries, especially in mainland China.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence, patterns, and associated risk factors of IMEs in mainland China and to provide medical suggestions for the evaluation and management of IMEs.
Background: Research indicates that number of nurse practitioners (NPs) is growing. Additional training is necessary to increase self-efficacy in tactical settings. Evidence shows the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) course is the national standard for tactical medical training.
