This document discusses coronasomnia, or insomnia related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that insomnia has been one of the most searched terms online recently. Coronasomnia is a term created to describe sleep issues arising from the current health context. Factors like stress, anxiety, lack of exercise and sunlight exposure, and insufficient sleep can all contribute to insomnia. Evaluation of insomnia may involve questionnaires, while polysomnography is used in some cases. Treatment focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques like sleep hygiene and stimulus control. The author's clinical experience has seen over a 30% increase in requests for sleep evaluations and treatments, with most cases being secondary to the current health situation.

The document discusses guidelines for airline travel for passengers with medical conditions from the Aerospace Medical Association and British Airways Health Services. It provides criteria for evaluating passengers with chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular, pulmonary and neurological conditions, for fitness to fly. It notes that an important proportion of passengers who develop medical issues in-flight later require hospitalization. The guidelines advise medical evaluation and clearance prior to travel for at-risk passengers and discuss contraindications and special precautions to ensure passenger safety during air travel.

The document discusses the effects of cabin pressure on passengers during air travel. It notes that the cabin is pressurized to an altitude of 1524-2438 meters, resulting in lower oxygen levels compared to sea level. For most healthy passengers this causes a decrease in arterial oxygen tension. However, for passengers with pre-existing lung conditions, it can cause oxygen saturation levels to drop significantly. The document also reviews guidelines for oxygen use during flights and studies examining passenger discomfort at different cabin altitudes.

The document discusses adherence to inhaler treatment for conditions like asthma and COPD. It begins by explaining how reward circuitry in the brain reinforces behaviors that promote survival. It then defines adherence and compliance, noting that adherence involves active patient participation while compliance is more passive following of doctor's orders. The document outlines factors influencing adherence like treatment complexity and social support. It reviews data showing poor adherence to inhalers and notes lower adherence for pulmonary diseases. Finally, it discusses the importance of patient education and inhaler type on adherence, emphasizing the need for simple, effective treatment plans to improve outcomes.
The Birmingham Gauge scale is used to measure the diameter of needles, catheters, sutures and other medical devices. It ranges from 5G, the largest diameter of 12.7 mm, to 36G, the smallest diameter of 0.102 mm. The gauge number does not necessarily correspond to needle color as colors can vary by manufacturer. A table is provided listing common medical devices like needles, syringes and catheters along with their gauge, diameter, flow rate and color.
