          Abstract

          RESUMEN Este artículo sirve para iniciarse en las bases docentes de la actual fisiología de la aviación, cuyo origen se remonta al comienzo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Bombarderos en picado (1941) de Michael Curtiz es un excelente material docente para ayudar en la comprensión de las distintas causas del síncope de los pilotos en las alturas, permitiendo la reflexión y la búsqueda de soluciones o alternativas a través de experimentos que permiten la recuperación de la homeostasis corporal. Su material audiovisual comparte escenas reales del ejército americano que permiten acceder a estos descubrimientos y al avance del estado actual de la moderna fisiología aeroespacial.

          ABSTRACT This article serves to begin in the teaching bases of the current aviation physiology, whose origin dates back to the beginning of World War II. Dive Bomber (1941) by Michael Curtiz is an excellent teaching material to help in the understanding of the different causes of the pilots' syncope at heights, allowing thinking and the search for solutions or alternatives through experiments that allow the recovery of the body homeostasis. His audiovisual material shares real scenes of the United States Army that allow access to these discoveries and the progress of the current state of modern aerospace physiology.

          Preventing and treating orthostatic hypotension: As easy as A, B, C.

          Orthostatic hypotension is a chronic, debilitating illness that is difficult to treat. The therapeutic goal is to improve postural symptoms, standing time, and function rather than to achieve upright normotension, which can lead to supine hypertension. Drug therapy alone is never adequate. Because orthostatic stress varies with circumstances during the day, a patient-oriented approach that emphasizes education and nonpharmacologic strategies is critical. We provide easy-to-remember management recommendations, using a combination of drug and nondrug treatments that have proven efficacious.

            Progressive myelopathy secondary to odontoid fractures: clinical, radiological, and surgical features.

            Late-onset progressive myelopathy, years after odontoid fracture, is considered a rarity. Sixteen patients with diagnosis of their odontoid fractures delayed from four months to 45 years have been studied and treated. Three had forgotten about the injury and, in the rest, the significance had been minimized by their clinicians. Fifteen patients had characteristic C-2 nerve root pain and 10 had noted weak hands and walking difficulties. Fifteen patients had Type II fractures, which were mobile in 11; hypertrophic pseudoarthrosis was marked in two. In seven patients it was confirmed at surgery that all or part of the transverse ligament was interposed in the fracture. Transoral surgery, combined with a variety of posterior fusion techniques, has allowed cord decompression, an understanding of the pathomechanics, and sound posterior bone fusion with arrest of the myelopathic condition. Measurements of craniovertebral angles and cord cross-sectional area in this series revealed a rough correlation, but the most striking relationship was between length of delay in diagnosis and diminished cord area in both non-union and malunion, suggesting a progressive injury mechanism. It is proposed that late myelopathy following odontoid fracture may be more common than hitherto believed and should be considered in the evaluation of patients with cervical spondylosis. The condition may be progressive. Finally, non-union may be due to interposition of the transverse ligament.
