Military Aircraft Accidents and Spatial Disorientation

Miloš Sázel, Josef Pavlík

VZL 2005, 74(3):103-109  

The spatial disorientation (SD) is one of the principal reasons of military aircraft accidents in the world. According to official documents, this reason was very rare in the Czech Republic. A retrospective analysis of military aircraft accidents were carried out. The investigatory board reports from the years 1991-2002 were evaluated in details. The spatial disorientation was confirmed as possible in 31 % of cases aircraft accidents. The findings were compared with the statistics of USAF aircraft accidents. The contribution of space disorientation in the aircraft accidents was similar in both cases. For better prevention of spatial disorientation...

Contemporary high-tech surgergical equipment enables to carry out radical resections with subsequent reconstruction successfully in patients with malignant tumours in orofacial area. As it concerns longlasting operations with high demands on postoperative care, we concentrated on the present perioperative management during the therapy of this group of patients and on possibilities of its improvement. We determined peroperative and postoperative risks and proposed a possible therapeutic procedure. We tried to stress a frequent incidence of unidentified peroperative malnutrition with the impact on the early postoperative course, the development of infectious...

Our conception can be summarized as follows: "Differentiation of SIRS - sepsis with balancing of the immune approaches and a reserved and a target antibiotic policy". Cellular immunity which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of both sepsis and SIRS should be monitored starting with the SIRS simplex level or even earlier. Accessible tests such as a granulocyte and lymphocyte count, T-lymphocyte subpopulation, IL-10 and procalcitonin may be sufficient. Apart from some adjuvant immunomodulators, we use commonly and as early as possible use the leucocyte dialysate Immodin as substrata for key immunocytes to influence the harmony of pro- and anti-inflammatory...

Zdeňka Vilasová, Jan Österreicher, Jiřina Vávrová

VZL 2005, 74(3):135-139  

The work analyzes biodosimetric methods used in experimental and clinical practice. Furthermore, authors inform about possible biodosimetric markers based on results of recent research, which could be developed within midle-term time.

The Neural Stem Cells Radiosensitivity - The Valid Method for Consideration of Neural Stem Cells Radiosensitivity: Possible Tool for Estimation of External Influence on Neural Stem Cell

VZL 2005, 74(3):140-143  

We studied radiosenzitivity of neural stem cells (NSCs) by widely used functional test and by method with adherent NSCs. NSCs were given 0-8 Gy, cultivated floating in medium (Group N) or finally adhered to polyornitine-coated Petri dishes (Group A). After 6 generation times neurospheres were fixed, stained and their numbers were counted. Finally adherent NSCs showed significantly higher radiosenzitivity than non-adherent NSCs from the dose of 0.5 Gy. Average D0 of group A was 1.85 Gy; average D0 of group N was counted as low as 0.96 Gy.We assume that the functional test widely used for influences determination to NSCs is not valid for NSCs radiosensitivity...
