| description | This issue features three papers in aerospace medicine, including one original article
and two reviews, focusing on cardiovascular health, vestibular illusions, and diabetes
management in aviation. The first study investigates cardiovascular health during flight
phases using a wearable device. Results show significant heart rate changes during
the landing phase, reflecting increased workload and sympathetic activation. However,
the study’s scope is limited to a single pilot, warranting further research. The second
paper reviews vestibular illusions in military aviation, highlighting their role in spatial
disorientation, which accounts for 5% of military aviation accidents with a 90% fatality
rate. It emphasizes training, including virtual reality simulation, to mitigate risks, but
lacks specific data on effectiveness. The third paper compares diabetes management
protocols for aviation personnel in Korea, the United States of America, Australia and
International Civil Aviation Organization. Korea restricts insulin-dependent pilots, while
other countries allow limited operations with advanced glucose monitoring. The paper
advocates for updated domestic guidelines reflecting international practices. |
