Safety of air travel in H1N1-positive patient with hydropneumothorax

construction of vector fields with positive lyapunov exponents

in this thesis our aim is to construct vector field in r3 for which the corresponding one-dimensional maps have certain discontinuities. two kinds of vector fields are considered, the first the lorenz vector field, and the second originally introced here. the latter have chaotic behavior and motivate a class of one-parameter families of maps which have positive lyapunov exponents for an open in...

Safety of early air travel after treatment of traumatic pneumothorax

T raumatic pneumothorax (PTX) is a commonly encountered injury seen by trauma services and emergency departments on a regular basis. It often occurs in patients who are travelling or vacationing far from home or who have been transferred by air to a higher level of care for treatment for their injuries. The Aerospace Medical Association has presented guidelines stating that PTX is an absolute c...

Air travel in women with lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The safety of air travel in patients with pneumothorax-prone pulmonary diseases, such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), has not been studied to any great extent. A questionnaire-based evaluation of air travel in patients with LAM was conducted to determine experiences aboard commercial aircraft. METHODS A survey was sent to women listed in the US LAM Foundation regis...
