[Problems in the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders occurring under +Gz loads in combination with breathing of pure oxygen].
The effect of accelerations of different value and duration combined with air or pure oxygen breathing on the pulmonary function was investigated in centrifugation experiments on six healthy male test subjects, aged 20--23. The dynamics of the emergence and back development of the respiratory syndrome induced by the combined effect of acceleration and pure oxygen breathing, its symptoms, spyrographic and roentgenologic components were studied. It was demonstrated that both the value and duration of acceleration played a certain role in the pathogenesis of functional disorders of the respiratory system and atelectasis; however, the time factor exerted the major effect on their development.

[Method of studying acceleration tolerance of pilots in flight conditions].
The following procedure was used to study the pilot's tolerance to acceleration inflight. Experiments were carried out in a specially equipped plane with a dual monitoring system. Inflight the pilot performed 3 dives, attaining 3.0, 5.0 and 6.0 g for 30 sec at an interval of 1-2 min and an onset rate of 0.4-0.6 g/sec. The control over the health state and performance of the pilot was maintained by the coach as well as with the aid of breathing rate, ECG, ear pulse rate recordings and cynematography of the pilot's face during exposure to acceleration. These methods were employed in experimental flights of a good number of pilots. The results show that the methods may well be used to better medical monitoring inflight and to identify subjects with decreased tolerance to acceleration.
