[Changes of electrogastrogram in pilots under vestibular stimulus].

Abstract

The active electrogastrogram (EGG) of 81 pilots under vestibular stimulus was recorded and analysed by the method of running spectrum analysis. The subjects were randomly divided into group A and B. The results showed: that changes in dominant frequency instability coefficient (DFIC), dominant power instability coefficient(DPIC), tachygastria, bradygastria and normal slow wave components (NSW) of EGG occured under vestibular stimulus. These parameters of EGG may be used as indices to reflect the function of autonomic nervous system under vestibular stimulus. No difference of those parameters had been found between group A and B during the period of per-rotating, and the period of rotation.

"Higher, always higher": technology, the military and aviation medicine during the age of the two world wars.

The history of flight has been strongly influenced by the interplay between physiology and technology. The human body defined the relationship between man and machine--it had to be protected from the cold, bad weather, high altitude, speed and bullets. Technological innovations offered a way to improve on aeroplane safety, and enabled pilots to exceed the limits imposed by physiological constraints. In particular, reconnaissance and bombing missions during World War II, which demanded flight at high altitudes, stimulated intensive scientific research and technological development. This research led to the construction of artificial environments for pilots and ultimately gave rise to space medicine.
