[Oculomotor equilibrium and aviation activities].

A good oculomotor equilibrium warrants flight safety. It is indeed directly linked with depth vision an may decompensate, causing a deficit or a diplopia. It is therefore very important to screen pilots carefully and to have periodical examinations to check the oculomotor equilibrium.

Hypercholesterolemia in the aviator.

Cholesterol is becoming increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). We reviewed lipid physiology, National Institute of Health recommendations, current USAF policies, and the lipid profiles of four active duty flying squadrons. A significant number of fliers are in a high or extremely high risk category for the development of CAD based on NIH criteria.

[Various aspects of applied biochemical studies in aviation medicine].

This paper presents a review of Soviet and foreign publications (1955-1985) containing biochemical data obtained during real and simulated aircraft flights. The paper discusses the results accumulated before and after flights of varying duration, when performing tasks of different complexity and by pilots with different professional skills. Special attention is given to the studies in which biochemical parameters have been used as a measure of recovery and professional adequacy. Biochemical results are also presented which may help detect young people susceptible to hypertensive disease and ischemic heart disease as well as prevent and modify these pathologies and fatigue.

Review of malaria prophylactic drugs for performance effects in naval aviators.

Malaria prophylaxis is required of aircrew operating in endemic areas throughout the world. To risk exposing aircrew to malaria without such protection would be to risk significant morbidity and mortality rates, as well as to jeopardize the success of military objectives. Military necessity might dictate the use of mefloquine for prophylaxis where resistance is known to exist, even if such use conflicts with current recommendations. Should chloroquine resistance continue to spread unchecked, mefloquine could well become the prophylactic drug of choice.

[Information interaction of the man-aircraft system as a problem in aviation medicine].

The importance of psychophysiological optimization of information interaction in the man--flying vehicle system is discussed having in view maintenance of good health and enhancement of efficiency and reliability of pilots. Several examples are presented that show the necessity of taking into consideration psychophysiological mechanisms, which regulate pilot's activities, in order to develop modified methods of information presentation and display.
