A29-year-old man wearing a skydiving jumpsuit was transported by private vehicle to our emergency department from the drop zone of a local airport. He was able to walk to the front desk, where he complained of dizziness, headache, and nausea. The man was neurologically intact and had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15. Vital signs were as follows: blood pressure, 151/76 mm Hg; respiratory rate, 2...

Robots that operate at a disaster site have been proposed and the dispatch of rescue robots to such is required. However, discussion on transport these insufficient. One method transporting use an airplane parachute. In order safely drop by parachute, it important investigate aerodynamics characteristics in free fall before opening present study, fluidic forces acted robot wake velocities behin...

Shone's complex is a rare congenital heart disease consisting of multiple levels of left sided obstructive lesions including supravalvar mitral ring, parachute mitral valve, subaortic stenosis and coarctation of aorta. The present case report describes a case of complete form of Shone's complex that was incidentally detected in an adult.

Coronary artery anomalies include the anomalies of origin, termination, and structure or course. Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are classified as the anomalies of termination and are considered a major congenital anomaly and are in the subgroup of acyanotic heart disease.1 • Atrial septal defect • Ventricular septal defect • Patent ductus arteriosus • Aortic stenosis • Pulmonary stenosis • Par...

This study assessed the physical demands of the 24-week Combined Infantryman's Course (CIC) for Parachute Regiment (Para) recruits and developed physical selection standards for applicants. Fifty recruits were monitored over five separate periods (35 d in total during weeks 1-2, 5, 9, 15 and 19-20). Energy expenditure (doubly labelled water), physical activity (accelerometry) and cardiovascular...

Classroom discussions relating to the modelling of physical phenomena has experienced a resurgence in recent years. One problem that is accessible to students and mathematically tractable is the motion of skydiver. The basic \parachute problem" is formulated and solved. A simple analysis of the problem raises questions about the applicability of this model. Real-life data is used to propose an ...
