MedicineAviation medicineAviation Medicine for everyone: Is the patient fit to fly?In ‘classical medicine’ we deal with abnormal physiology in a normal environment as opposed to ‘aviation medicine’ where we deal with normal physiology in an abnormal environment. A special challenge for the doctors is when our patients wants to travel by air .We then have to combine the two worlds having abnormal physiology in an abnormal environment. I have for many years given presentations on how the medical professions should advice their patients to ensure that their patients arrive in good condition after an air travel. Topics include: Which conditions make the patient unfit to fly? Which is the absolute no-go? What is current recommendation concerning air travel after recent myocardial infarctions or surgery? How should patients take their medications prescribed for chronic diseases when traveling across time zones? What can travelers do to cope with jet lag? What is the medical requirements for a pilot licenseSpecial medical considerations are required for the flight crew. The challenges are how much can physiology deviate from the normal and still allow the crew to operate optimal in the abnormal environment. Of course the requirements for the astronauts is different from that of a fighter pilot or very different from those needed for a commercial pilot or a private pilot. Topics include: What is the pilots’ physiological working environment? Which conditions make the pilot unfit to fly? Which is the absolute no-go? What is the medical evidence behind the medical requirement set for the pilot? Which risks are we trying to minimize? Does the regular medical checks improve health? How can we define and minimize fatigue? Medical lessons learned from accident investigations. NephrologyDiabetic nephropathy - an updateFacing the steadily growing proportion of the population with diabetes (type 1 and 2) it is important to realize the significance of micro albuminuria. To understand the pathophysiology behind the processes that leads to micro albuminuria and the almost inevitable road that sooner or later lead to diabetic nephropathy. Recent discoveries gives us a better foundation for understanding why micro albuminuria occur and why early detection of hyperglycemia is paramount if we want to stem the tide of diabetic patient ending up needing a kidney transplant or life long dialysis treatment.

Health Care SystemBuilding effective health care organizationsThe use of simulation to optimize healthcareHealth care systems are struggling with financial limitations worldwide. The increasing demand for health care services leads to what many categorize as a health care crisis. It calls for health care systems to be more efficient. Accordingly to WHO ‘malfunctioning health systems are at the heart of the problem’. The question is how can one improve the service within the given constraints? Simulation technology is a new approach that can be used to evaluate processes and craft new solutions without interfering with the daily operations. PDF files of some of my presentations is available for download.
