Article Abstract
Current diagnostic electroencephalogram (EEG) investigations in aircrew selection and certification lack both standardization and reference to universally applicable criteria for their effective use. Extrapolation from clinical EEG studies may not be appropriate. Recent studies on serial EEGs in aircrew are lacking, whereas follow-up of individuals who failed certification is nonexistent. Population-based EEG studies in healthy subjects are generally underpowered to establish the significance of pathological EEG findings. Advanced digital video/EEG recording, in combination with standardization of data exchange formats and automated detection of pathological grapho-elements, is cost effective when carried out for extended periods, e.g., during flight simulator sessions. Extensive databases of serial video/EEG records in aircrew may thus be easily obtained and validated over time. Prognostic inferences on the significance of pathological EEG discharges may subsequently be derived from these databases.

Introduction: Fighter pilots endure significant physical stress due to elevated gravitational forces, leading to a high prevalence of neck pain. The biomechanical loads and operational demands of high-gravitational maneuvers highlight the need for targeted interventions. Exercise training has been proposed to mitigate neck pain and enhance musculoskeletal resilience.

Introduction: Readiness is a ubiquitous term in DoD doctrine and has been broadly defined as the ability of military forces to meet the demands of assigned missions. There is currently no criterion standard of military readiness and there is also a lack of published readiness measures for the individual military service member, the fundamental building block of force readiness. This report describes the development and validation of the Military Readiness Scale-15 (MRS-15), a self-report instrument, in U.

Objective: Providing transparency on the state of selection processes in helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) across different services is a vital step in developing universal standards for HEMS aircrew. This study aimed to consolidate, rate, and evaluate information on selection processes from 9 HEMS across Australia and New Zealand.
Methods: This was a descriptive study combining objective and subjective assessment of selection to HEMS teams.

The human microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining health and preventing disease; however, the effects of occupational exposure on the microbiota of aircrew and astronauts are not fully understood. This narrative review aims to synthesize the current knowledge on microbiota alterations in aerospace medicine, assess the potential of probiotics as a countermeasure, and identify key gaps that warrant further research. The references were identified through searching PubMed for English articles published between 2010 and 2024, using keywords related to microbiota, probiotics, aviation, spaceflight, pilots, and astronauts.
