Given birth to creep, fly should not

Andrey Kirievsky

[25.10.2000] In a far antiquity the person, looking on birds gracefully soaring in the sky, dreamed to learn to fly. As is known from the Greek mythology, Ikar was the first who has realized this dream. On a legend it(he) at runaway from an imprisonment, tried to fly over the sea on the wings made by his(its) father from feathers and wax. However the young man has too close come nearer to the sun, wax has fused, Ikar has fallen in water and has sunk. Despite of so sad history, the invention " to survey the ground from height of the bird's flight " is strong zasela in minds(wits) of people, that, finally, and has resulted in creation of the plane.

But as has shown time " iron wings ", despite of all achievements of a civilization, have nearby left in safety issues from wax. A part of planes recently why - that tend to not sit and to fall, and airaccidents happen regularly. Certainly, failures of automobiles, trains and the ships too occur, however in these cases injured to render frequent still it is possible what - that the help and to rescue lifes of people. At airaccidents medical aid, unfortunately, frequently simply is not required, as at falling even from several hundreds meters chances to survive are very small. And that fact, that planes are a "favourite" place for capture of hostages, forces some to refuse using this convenient type of transport absolutely.

It would seem, except for possible(probable) failure and capture of the plane by terrorists to air passenges to be afraid there is nothing more. But scientists count, that the reason of destruction of people which are taking place onboard the air ships, can be not only falling of the plane and a stray bullet. In opinion of researchers, the death can come(step) and from long sitting the person in an armchair of the plane, that quite often occurs at flights on the big distances. It, in opinion of physicians, also has brought to ruin the last week twenty eight years(summer) women fly from Australia to Britain.

Emma Kristoferson at arrival in airport Heathrow, London, has felt an indisposition then has lost consciousness and has died before was delivered in hospital. passazhirki doctors explain death to that the long presence(finding) in an armchair of the plane in a sedentary pose has caused reduction of blood circulation in vessels, is especial legs, and it has served as the reason of formation(education) of a blood clot in a vein of the bottom finiteness. The blood clot representing "komok" of blood, following on a vein, has got in heart, from him(it) in easy, that has resulted in gross infringement of function of respiratory system and in a result to sudden death.

This fact of formation(education) of a blood clot in veins of legs during flight not unique. Doctor John Skur, the adviser for vascular surgery in London's Middlesex Hospital, counts, that number of cases of a thrombosis of vessels at people using services of air transport, reaches(achieves) thirty thousand per one year. At some "aviabol'nyh" business accepts so serious revolution, that doctors should amputate a leg in order to prevent complications. The thrombosis at air passenges is dangerous also that symptoms of it(him) are shown not at once, that is why patients address to doctors already at that stage of illness when to carry out(spend) treatment is rather problematic.

Scientists formation(education) of a blood clot in veins of the legs, the passenger caused by a long presence(finding) in one pose, name " a syndrome of economy class ", as the most rigid armchairs in this class. However supervision have shown, that frequency of a similar syndrome among the passengers preferring more convenient armchairs nenamnogo less. In opinion of physicians to avoid the formation(education) of a clot of blood attracting behind self heavy consequences, it is rather simple - for this purpose it is only necessary to accept a tablet of aspirin some hours prior to forthcoming flight. The given preparation interferes with formation(education) of blood clots and consequently doctors recommend airlines "to provide" each ticket with a tablet of aspirin. Probably, in couple of years of the stewardess alongside with meal and drinks will offer, and can and insist, " to estimate taste " this medical product.

Except for acceptance of aspirin of the doctor from time to time advise passengers to make walks on the plane to knead the become numb legs and thus to restore blood circulation. The given variant certainly is more preferable, than reception of aspirin, however, it is uneasy to present, that will be created onboard the plane when even even third of passengers will decide simultaneously " porazmjat' kostochki ". Most likely, kind stewardesses will ask newly appeared "sportsmen" to return on the place.

Some scientists consider, that air passenges also are more subject to action of space radiation which level on calculations of scientists reaches(achieves) a maximum at height of fifteen thousand meters. Space radiation, in opinion of researchers, can become the reason of development of a cancer. Under forecasts of experts the risk of development of tumours is especially great at pilots and stewardesses, and also at those passengers who frequently uses airlines.

And while scientists did not come to a final conclusion, it is possible only to advise to fly by planes of ours, and foreign aerofleet and if it is necessary to make long flights accept a tablet of aspirin more seldom.
