Cases from the aerospace medicine residents' teaching file. Case #62. Lead poisoning.
An aviator with occupationally-caused lead poisoning and entrapment neuropathies. Presentation, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Reported in-flight incapacitation: the early birds of 1911.
Numerous fatal accidents marred the early years of aviation, but not until 1911 was the first accident attributed to inflight incapacitation of the pilot. Two such accidents occurred in 1911 and were reported due to medical causes. Our review of the circumstances surrounding these two accidents lead to different conclusions. We believe them to have been caused by pilot error, and not by medical causes. So the first accident due to inflight incapacitation of the aircrew for medical reasons still remains unknown.

Treatment of neovascular glaucoma with transscleral panretinal cryotherapy.
Transscleral panretinal cryotherapy was used to treat six eyes with neovascular glaucoma. The media of each involved eye were sufficiently cloudy at the time of treatment to prevent adequate panretinal photocoagulation. A checkerboard pattern of eight 2.5-mm cryotherapy applications was placed in each quadrant. Five of the eyes were also treated with 180 degrees of cyclocryotherapy. Within 72 hours of treatment, the intraocular pressure in each eye returned to a controllable level. The iris neovascularization in each eye regressed or totally disappeared within six weeks.
