This book brings the neurosciences to operational and clinical
aviation medicine. It is concerned with the physiology and
pathology of circadian rhythmicity, orientation, hypotension and
hypoxia, and with disorders of the central nervous system relevant
to the practice of aviation medicine. The chapters on circadian
rhythmicity and orientation deal with the impaired alertness and
sleep disturbance associated with desynchrony and with the effects
of linear and angular accelerations on spatial awareness.
Hypotension and hypoxia cover cerebral function during increased
gravitational stress, clinical aspects of exposure to acute
hypoxia, the mild hypoxia of the cabin of transport aircraft,
adaptation and acclimatization to altitude and decompression at
extreme altitudes and in space. Disorders of particular
significance to the practice of aviation medicine such as excessive
daytime sleepiness, epilepsy, syncope, hypoglycaemia, headache and
traumatic brain injury are covered, while neuro-ophthalmology, the
vestibular system and hearing also receive detailed attention. The
potentially adverse effects of the aviation environment and of
disorders of the nervous system are brought together, and the text
covers the neurological examination as it relates to aircrew and
explores current management and therapeutics. The Neurosciences and
the Practice of Aviation Medicine is an essential work for those
involved in the practice of aviation medicine where familiarity
with the effects of the aviation environment on the nervous system
and understanding the pathophysiology of relevant clinical
disorders are of prime concern. The authors from leading centres of
excellence are physiologists concerned with the aviation
environment and physicians involved in the day-to-day practice of
medicine. They bring to this authoritative text wide experience and
expertise in both the experimental and clinical neurosciences.
