Abstract Background Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite effective medications, many patients experience underdiagnosis, suboptimal medication use, and poor a...

Leadership and communication have been identified as paramount factors for flight safety and efficiency but research on the effects of these factors is scarce. This study analyzes which leadership styles and which commun...

Abstract Background Lung cancer stigma (i.e., perceived and internalized negative appraisal and devaluation associated with lung cancer) is a clinically significant psychosocial concern among individuals diagnosed with l...

Women have been a part of aviation since its inception, yet they have been traditionally underrepresented in the ranks of commercial pilots. This study explored what role mentoring played in the lives and careers of fema...

Introduction: Neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) are prevalent among military helicopter pilots. Although there have been few studies on sex differences in the NP/LBP prevalence in this population, females are shown ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The links between oral health and female ageing are poorly understood, but many changes occur in the oral cavity of menopausal women that affect quality of life, and few current oral health inter...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Asexual adults often report misunderstandings during clinical encounters. We described romantic attachment (ECR‐R anxiety/avoidance) in an asexual sample and tested whether disclosure in me...

Prior studies demonstrate that controlled rest in position (CRIP) may help compensate for pilot fatigue. CRIP allows for one pilot to nap in their cockpit seat during the cruise phase of flight, provided that certain pol...

Previous research has shown that stigmas play an important role in trust. While previous research has focused on trust in individuals with stigmas in various settings, no research that we know of has specifically looked ...

This paper reports on a review of literature covering gender issues in aviation. It considers the impacts of aviation culture on women pilots. The focus of the review was on empirical studies over a 25-year period (1996-...

Abstract Evidence suggests that open-skill team sports, such as basketball, may favor the development of executive functions in childhood. This pilot study compared pre-to-post changes in verbal fluency, anthropometric p...

Studies examining aviation accidents have not found differences in accident rates by gender, though there may be gender differences in the types of accident. Baker, Lamb, Grabowski, and Rebok (2001) examined fixed-wing a...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pulmonary embolism is a cardiovascular disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of literature regarding this condition from the Ghanaian perspective. Th...

Fatigue has long been a concern in aviation, especially today, with the ever-increasing traffic volume, pilot shortage, and operations that often disrupt the body’s natural biological rhythms. Despite the implementatio...

The increase of automation in the aviation industry poses challenges to human performance. To attest this point, studies about aircraft accidents reveal that pilots’ response to automated systems is not always coherent...

Abstract Background Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is gaining significant clinical utility; however, limited access to training is a major barrier to its integration into primary care. In this pilot study, we aime...

Abstract BackgroundLong-term care facilities are increasingly caring for persons living with dementia as this population grows. Frontline care workers provide most hands-on support, yet they often have limite...

Objective This study Investigates more dimensions than previous studies simultaneously: pilots’ duty rosters, stress, sleep difficulties, fatigue levels, wellbeing, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and common mental d...

Decreases in oil reserves and gas fields around all over the world justify the deepening of studies to render viable the larger-scale use of new energy sources. Therefore, the use of microorganisms to convert sugars into...

English is the basis for aviation communications worldwide creating challenges for both native and non-native English speakers. An unfortunate outcome of language-related communications issues, whether indirectly or dire...

Pilots for many years have received training on the round instrument gauges and the question is, can they now safely make the transfer to the new cockpit technologies? Studies show a cognitive deficit with pilot's age 40...

Many studies have explored personality types of civil and military pilots, however research into pilot students currently or recently undertaking flight training is relatively limited. By using the Australian Personality...
