Does undirected travel compensate for reduced directed travel during lockdown?

Fluid loss does not explain coagulation activation during air travel.

The mechanism of air travel-related venous thrombosis is unclear. Although immobility plays a pivotal role, other factors such as fluid loss may contribute. We investigated whether fluid loss occurred more in individuals with coagulation activation after air travel than in subjects without. As a secondary aim, we investigated whether fluid loss per se occurred during air travel. In this crossov...

Does medical education predispose to risk behaviour during travel?

with great interest, we read the paper “Health risks, travel preparation, and illness among public health professionals during international travel” by Balaban et al. [1] recently published in this journal. We'd like to take this opportunity to point out the differences in the compliance with advised health and safety recommendations between medical lay persons and medical professionals such as...

Sea turtles compensate deflection of heading at the sea surface during directional travel.

Air-breathing marine animals, including sea turtles, utilise two fundamentally different environments (i.e. sea surface and underwater) during migration. Many satellite telemetry studies have shown travel paths at relatively large spatio-temporal scales, discussing the orientation and navigation mechanisms that guide turtles. However, as travel paths obtained by satellite telemetry only reflect...

A Novel Method for Travel System Patterns

Due to population growth in urban areas, especially in the capital cities in developing countries, the use of private vehicles are increasing, leading to many problems such as congestion, pollution, noise, long travel time, high travel cost and more side effects. In such circumstances government policy would encourage people to use public transportation. In the meantime, employing the Intellige...
