Oculomotor responses with aviator helmet-mounted displays and their relation to in-flight symptoms.

Previous experiments have raised the possibility that abnormal oculomotor functioning could be the substrate for visual problems among aviators who use helmet-mounted displays. However, until the present investigation, no direct evidence linked the two. In our experiments, experienced Apache helicopter pilots, using the same helmet-mounted display that they use in flight, viewed Apache symbology and sensor imagery while we measured their accommodation and vergence eye movements in the laboratory.

Diagnosis of the acute abdomen in the neurologically stable spinal cord-injured patient. A case study.

The diagnosis of the acute abdomen in the spinal cord injured patient is difficult. Diagnoses are often so delayed that approximately 10% of these patients die of acute abdominal problems. The presentation also varies with the level and duration of injury.

Self-inflicted abdominal gunshot wounds with the 0.357 magnum handgun.

In an 18-month period, three self-inflicted abdominal gunshot wounds with 0.357 magnum handguns were managed in a community hospital. This clinical experience is described and certain unique aspects of these injuries are noted.

Creating an endoscopy capability in Army community hospitals.

The purchase of gastrointestinal endoscopic services can be a fiscal drain on the Army Community Hospital. We describe a method whereby a quality endoscopic service can be created at the Army Community Hospital level.
