Imagine standing atop a sunlit mountain, the world sprawling beneath you, your heart racing with excitement—and suddenly, you ...

The conditions outside a cruising airliner are those of intense cold, thin air, and potentially lethal atmospheric conditions ...

Something as simple as a chip bag is the perfect analogy for the uphill developmental battle a battery had to climb before it ...

Changes in altitude cause unintended insulin delivery from insulin pumps. What can be done to prevent hypoglycemia during air travel?

In all studies, the insulin excess or deficit seen was consistent with predictions of bubble volume due to pressure changes using Henry law (Fig. 1).

Change in altitude Rapid changes in altitude and pressure can block the eustachian tube. As a result, the tube cannot equalize pressure inside the middle ear with pressure outside the body.

Oxygen delivery was reduced at high altitude. Conclusion Despite higher baseline sPAP and reduced RV coupling at rest, exercise-induced haemodynamic changes were similar at both high and low altitudes ...

In between these low-pressure and high-pressure systems is a strong change in pressure over a distance—a pressure gradient. And that pressure gradient leads to strong winds.

Barometric pressure is the amount of pressure the air is pushing onto your body. Changes in barometric pressure can cause headaches or pain.

Altitude changes during commercial flights may affect the blood glucose levels of people with type 1 diabetes who are treated with insulin pump therapy, according to new research to be presented ...

Many factors can cause pressure to build up in the ears. Outside the body, air pressure may change with altitude changes, while depth changes alter hydrostatic pressure in water.
