[EGG and nausea under vestibular stimulus].

Abstract

81 pilots were exposed to vestibular stimulus with Coriolis acceleration. They were divided into two groups, the first group consisted of 38 pilots with nausea symptoms, the second group 43 pilots without nausea symptom. Dominant frequency instability coefficient (DFIC), dominant power instability coefficient (DPIC), Tachygastria, Bradygastria and normal slow wave components (NSW) of the electrogastrogram (EGG) were analyzed. The results showed that Bradygastria and NSW of EGG were related to nausea symptom of pilots under Coriolis stimulation.

"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.
