Though modern aircraft operate mainly at altitudes between 25000-45000 ft, the cabin is pressurized to maintain an altitude between 5000-8000 ft, thereby overcoming most of the physiological problems encountered at such high altitudes. This is one of the features of air travel that makes it so suitable for the rapid transport of seriously ill patients. However, one should realize that the environment of flight is unnatural to man and thereby imposes considerable demands on the body systems.
Guidelines for assessing guest's fitness for travel
When assessing a patient's fitness for air travel, the effects of reduced atmospheric pressure and consequent reduction in oxygen tension must be considered. Even if pressurized aircraft the cabin pressure will be equivalent to an altitude of 5000 – 8000 feet. Although each case will be considered on its merit, the following guidelines are laid down for the treating physicians reference:
Critical heart and respiratory conditions (e.g. decompensated cardiac patients / patients with severe valvular disease / unstable angina / significant cardiac arrhythmias/severe asthma) are usually not permitted to fly. Patients with recent coronary occlusion with myocardial infarction are normally not permitted to fly within 10 days if uncomplicated. Patients who have undergone angioplasties are usually allowed to fly only after 4 days if asymptomatic. Cases of uncontrolled severe hypertension are not allowed to fly. Patients with severe bronchitis, emphysema, other conditions where respiratory exchange is compromised or may be affected by the hypoxia are permitted to fly only if arrangements are made for supplemental oxygen for use in flight and are accompanied by a medical escort. Patients with active open tuberculosis / untreated pneumothorax are not permitted to fly. Cases with tracheostomies are permitted to fly only if accompanied by medical escort and suitable equipment.
Introduction of air into body cavities for diagnostic / therapeutic purposes are allowed to fly only after 5 days of uncomplicated recovery following the procedure.
Cases of acute, major psychiatric disorder are allowed to fly only if sedated and accompanied by medical escort.
CVA / Head Injury - Permitted only after 5-14 days if stable or improving along with nursing escort.
Severe cases of acute otitis media / sinusitis / post middle ear surgery permitted to fly only with ENT specialist's fitness certificate.
Patients with acute contagious / communicable diseases are not allowed to fly.
Patients with fractures of the Mandilble with fixed wiring of the jaws are not allowed to fly
POP casts should be bivalved in case flying is required within the first 48 hours of their application
Peptic ulceration with hemorrhage - not permitted within 10 days of onset, except when permitted by the treating consultant. Flying may be permitted after 5 days of a MINOR laparoscopic procedure, if uncomplicated recovery. Investigative laproscopy may be accepted >24 hours provided gas is absorbed.
Post-operative cases are usually not permitted to fly within:
10 days of abdominal operations
10 days of chest surgery
10 days of head surgery
All guests travelling for further treatment or surgery, will require to obtain clearance from our Medical Department, in addition to carrying a fit to fly certificate issued by the treating doctor.
Guidelines for pregnant guest:
Expectant mothers (in relevant cases) are required to provide a medical certificate stating the following:
Fitness to travel
Number of weeks of pregnancy
Estimated date of delivery
Absence of complications (past or present)
Note: The certificate must be available on request and should be carried with you at the airport and during the flight in your cabin baggage. Please note that for your safety, if you choose not to carry a medical certificate, Jet Airways reserves the right to refuse boarding.
Guests are allowed to fly after 48 hours of normal delivery provided they have medical clearance. Newborns are not allowed to fly in the first 7 days of life, unless they are medically cleared by the treating neonatologist and are accompanied by at least an MBBS doctor.
Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis should not fly till patient is stabilized on anticoagulant therapy and there are no pulmonary complications
Patient with severe anemia (Hb < 9.5 gm/dl) are not permitted to fly. However in exceptional cases, they may be permitted to fly with specialist's certificate.
Patients with uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus are not permitted to fly
Patients with impaired mobility should be provided with diapers / condom / indwelling catheters
Flying is not permitted for 3-6 weeks following surgery for Retinal detachment
In all cases where your fitness to fly is in doubt, please consult your treating physician prior to making the reservation. Full consultation with the airline's medical department well before the flight is important, if inconvenience / health risk to the patient / others is to be avoided. Knowledge of the principles involved & the facilities available, combined with co-operation between the guest, his / her treating physician and the airline's medical department will ensure that almost all such guests travel safely & with minimum inconvenience.
Special Note: A recently completed MEDIF form (within 10 days of the schedule date of the guest's initial departing flight ) must be submitted to the Jet Airways Medical Department at least 48 hours prior to schedule departure date. Jet Airways' doctor's decision regarding fitness of guests to fly / requirement of medical escort will be final. If at time of embarkation the condition of the guest has further deteriorated, carriage may be refused. Any case, which Jet Airways feels might jeopardize the safety or operation of the aircraft, will not be accepted. Patients with symptoms likely to worsen during flight / cause distress or inconvenience to other guest will not be accepted. MEDIF Forms for all medical cases will have to be sent to our Medical Dept for approval.
In case of uncertainty, the Jet Airways doctor / other doctor nominated by the company may require to examine the guest and evaluate his medical records prior to giving his final decision on fitness to fly.
Guests are requested to carry all medications that they may require inflight in their hand luggage. Guests who have a medical condition are also requested to carry all details regarding their illness (including hospital discharge cards, treatment details, relevant medical history details, doctor's certificates, etc) as well as the recommended treatment in case of an anticipated emergency, in their hand luggage. It is not possible for cabin crew to refrigerate guest's medications, & if this is required, guests should carry their own cool bag or vacuum flask.
The attendant should ensure that all items / medical equipment brought on the aircraft by the patient (needles, syringes, unused medication) are removed at the time the patient is disembarked from the aircraft.
Inform our reservation staff at the time of reservation that the guest traveling is a medically ill guest. The MEDIF Form has to be filled by the doctor treating the guest. Click here to down load the MEDIF form.
The completed MEDIF Form and a detailed certificate from the doctor, certifying other relevant medical information of the patient's illness / condition should be faxed/emailed to our Jet Airways doctors at the following numbers:
For your information Jet Airways doctors are stationed at:
Approval of the MEDIF FORM is to be obtained from our doctors at the nearest office as mentioned above. E.g. for a guest travelling Bhuj-Mumbai-Cochin, MEDA clearance should be obtained from the Jet Airways doctor in Mumbai.
Only after obtaining clearance from our Jet Airways doctors can the guest be booked and then accepted for travel Click on the relevant form to download them:MEDIF Form
MEDA passengers will be accepted for travel only if found "fit to travel" at the time of check-in. Prior clearance does not guarantee carriage if the condition of the guest has deteriorated after clearance has been obtained.

An illness like the common cold has widespread health and social impacts. Indeed, the Human Rhinovirus (HRV), the most frequent cause of colds, is believed to exacerbate asthma in about 70 percent of cases; and in Australia alone, the common cold costs employers around 1.5 million workdays, or $600m in lost productivity per year.
In conjunction with researchers at the IBM Research Collaboratory for Life Sciences–Melbourne, scientists from St. Vincent's Institute of Medical Research and the University of Melbourne are now using IBM supercomputing technology to simulate the common cold at the molecular level to build a fully atomistic, three-dimensional simulation of HRV. This will allow researchers to gain a more precise picture of how a drug attacks rhinovirus at the molecular level, and potentially lead to future treatments for other viruses as well.

This is the second time I'm using this recipe (see below) for sweet and sour pork, only this time I used chicken in place of pork.
The lotus root soup below is cooked using the slow cooker. I just put all the ingredients into the pot, and let it boil overnight. The next morning I'm greeted with a pot of delicious home-cooked soup. I've always been a soup person, especially Cantonese-styled soups like this lotus root soup, 'old cucumber' soup etc. Maybe it has to do with my Cantonese heritage?
I like to 'multi-task' on Saturday mornings, meaning while preparing the main dishes, I would also bake a loaf of bread, for breakfast the following week. This time I made Giselle's Pai Pau. I've also made this before a while back, just that this time round I replaced 20% of the flour with wholemeal flour (healthier breads, remember?). The bread is soft and fluffy, thanks again Giselle!
Recipe for Sweet & Sour Pork
This recipe is taken from the book Hawkers' Fare Simplified, but I've modified it based on the first try some time back.
Ingredients A:
300g pork, with fat (this time I used boneless chicken thigh)
1 green capsicum, cubed
1 tomato, cut into wedges
1 onion, cut into wedges
100g pineapple, cubed
Ingredients B:
½ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp oyster sauce
½ tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 egg
1 tbsp water
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda*(I omitted this)
Ingredients C:
1 tbsp plum sauce
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
¾ tbsp sugar
¾ tsp salt
¾ tbsp white rice vinegar
100 ml water
Cornflour for coating
Oil for deep frying
1) Cut pork into ½-inch thick and pound with the back of the knife. Cut into cubes and marinate with Ingredients B for 30 minutes (I marinate overnight).
2) Coat pork cubes with corn flour and deep fry until golden brown. Drain.
3) Leave one tbsp of oil in the wok, stir-fry capsicum, onion, tomato and pineapple until fragrant. Pour in Ingredients C and bring to a boil to let it thicken slightly.
4) Add in pork cubes from (2) and mix well. Dish up and enjoy.
The sauce may seem watery when cooking, but once the pork cubes are added, the sauce coats the pork nicely. If you like more sauce, adjust Ingredients C to suit your taste.

Through the decades, General Motors has found itself on both sides of the product curve. The '64 Pontiac GTO is an example of GM almost inventing a niche ahead of its competition, in this case the modern muscle car. On the flip side, The General found itself without a real competitor to the Ford Mustang when it debuted in April, 1964. Sure, General Motors boasted that they had a Mustang fighter, in the form of the Corvair, but performance enthusiasts took one look at the rear-engined, air-cooled offering and said "thanks, but no thanks. "Soon, General Motors, Chevrolet in particular, was burning the midnight oil to get a true challenger to the 'Stang on the streets. Code named "Panther," it emulated the Mustang's long hood/short deck proportions, and in compliance with then-current Chevrolet practice was blessed with a "proper" name starting with "C," Camaro.
By the time the newest Chevrolet was released, the Mustang had been essentially playing in a field-of-one for two years. Granted, the Barracuda debuted two weeks before the Ford, but it was a mild restyle of the boring Valiant, and it wasn't being marketed with any flair. Chevrolet saw that the Barracuda was low on the excitement scale, and when the Camaro was rolled out, the Bow Tie crew ramped up the new cars' visibility. One of the most successful efforts was this vehicle; the Camaro Cherokee.
For decades General Motors had been giving the public sneak peaks of future products at auto shows, and the trend continued with the release of the Cherokee. A big-block convertible was yanked from the Norwood, Ohio, assembly plant and shipped to the famed General Motors Design Center. Run by Bill Mitchell, a brilliant dictatorial leader who oozed superb taste. The Design Center staff applied their considerable talents toward heating up the looks of the Camaro without becoming a caricature. It's said that the mark of a good designer is knowing when to lift the pen, and it's clear that the Design Center was chockablock with talent.
The first modification from stock that most people notice is the trick hood; it was designed to showcase the new Mark IV 396ci bigblock engine that engineering guru Vince Piggins had great faith in. Topped with four Weber downdraft carburetors on a Moon Can-Am intake manifold, the unstamped preproduction L78 mill was rated at 375 hp. The tall velocity stacks on the Weber's became a focal point when they were visible beneath a custom clear Plexiglas cover on the hand-formed hood. Yet close examination of the exterior reveals plenty of special Design Center touches, such as the split front and rear bumpers, á la the Corvette. On top of the hood, next to the transparent "window" is a hood-mounted tachometer, "borrowed" from Pontiac.
At the far end, a tail spoiler was formed by the artisans at the Design Center. Between the taillights is a quick-release gas cap, one of the period's mechanical components that was virtually mandatory on performance cars. Yet this particular car had performance spades. It was fitted with Koni front shocks and AC Delco air shocks at the rear. With the massive power coming from the bow, the rearend was a 12-bolt posi the better to leave equal-length lines. Shifting duties were taken care of by a TurboHydramatic 400 three-speed automatic. Any automobile that can accelerate like a locomotive needs to be able to shed speed as well, and the fitting of J52 power front disc brakes went a long way in that direction.
During this era, any show car that had any hope of being noticed needed a high-profile paint scheme, and the Design Center didn't disappoint. The Cherokee came with an Aztec Gold Metallic finish, but the painters laid Candyapple Metalflake Red on top of the gold. Slightly translucent, the base color was visible through the red, giving the paint a three-dimensional look. Though now cracked and crazed, the original finish is still on the car.

Yesterday we gave you a sneak peek of the new Hotmail, featuring an entirely new interface that is said to be "fast, fluid, and intuitive", and of course the design has been changed to the all new Metro-style, consistent with Microsoft's other properties like Microsoft account and your Profile page. Well, today we have the full suite of high-resolution screenshots of the new Hotmail, or "Newmail" as they call it, available for you.
We understand that "Newmail" will be available on an opt-in basis (at least for the beginning), so users who prefers the old Hotmail experience can continue to use it for a while.

These bars taste so wonderful,
you'll never believe they are good for you!
ChocoPerfection is naturally sweetened from plant fibers. These natural sweeteners are sugar free and have a glycemic index of zero. The main sweetener in ChocoPerfection is derived from the chicory plant and is named oligofrutose. Oligofructose is classified as a "prebiotic fiber" meaning that it takes root in the digestive tract to support the growth of beneficial probiotic flora. Ultimately, oligofructose will rid your digestive tract of harmful bacteria, promote the excretion of toxins, stop sugar craving and strengthen your immune system.
The second sweetener in ChocoPerfection is erythritol, which is also derived from plants. Erythritol is similar to xylitol in that it has a glycemic index of zero, but it has fewer calories and is considered beneficial for healthy teeth.
ChocoPerfection does not contain maltitol, which is the artificial sweetener used in the overwhelming majority of low carb products. Maltitol has been shown to increase blood sugar levels and prevent weight loss.
Finally, a guilt-free chocolate bar that tastes 'real' and helps with weight loss.
ChocoPerfection has 14g of prebiotic fiber in every bar which reduces sugar cravings.
ChocoPerfection is all natural, 100% sugar-free, and has all the beneficial anti-oxidants of chocolate.
A daily part of the Low Carb Chocolate Lover's Diet!
Saturated fat from stearic acid in the cocoa plant, which has been proven to either lower cholesterol or have no effect on cholesterol at all, and butter oil.

The Market Transformation effort is active in regulatory/policy, codes, and standards; utility operations and programs; finance; permitting, inspection, and interconnection; installation; and siting.
PV Facilities
The Photovoltaic Systems Evaluation Laboratory (PSEL) provides expertise and test support within several facilities and outdoor sites for evaluating PV and other distributed energy hardware. It includes the following capabilities:
- PV systems evaluations and optimization
- field testing of arrays and systems in collaboration with system integrators
- performance testing for modules, arrays, power inverters, charge controllers, and batteries
- diagnosis of module reliability issues with manufacturing consultation
- complete performance characterization of PV cells and photo sensors
- calibration of PV reference cells, reference modules, and solar instruments
- performance measurements on multiple, interacting distributed energy sources
- on-site education and training on the attributes and limitations of photovoltaic and other distributed energy systems
The Distributed Energy Technologies Laboratory (DETL) is an extension of the power electronics testing capabilities of PSEL. DETL is configured as a 480V, 3-phase microgrid with interconnections to the utility grid and to various distributed energy resources including PV inverters, microturbines, fuel cells, reciprocating engine-generators, and electrical energy storage systems. DETL provides expertise and test support to perform the following functions:
- Grid-connected performance evaluations (e.g., efficiency, distortion, power factor, response to abnormal grid conditions)
- Off-grid (stand-alone) performance evaluations (e.g., transient response, compatibility with various load types, voltage and frequency regulations)
- Specialized tests (e.g., radio-frequency emissions, "non-islanding inverter," interactions of multiple sources on a common microgrid, surge tolerance)
Sandia's primary mission is ensuring the U.S. nuclear arsenal is safe, secure, reliable, and can fully support the Nation's deterrence policy. Employing only the most advanced and failsafe technologies to fulfill our responsibilities as stewards of the nuclear stockpile, Sandia is responsible for the development, design and maintenance of approximately 90 percent of the several thousand parts found in any given weapon system, including radiation-hardened microelectronics. In support of this mission, Sandia National Laboratories has a significant role in advancing the "state-of-the-art" in microsystems research and development and in introducing microsystems into the nuclear stockpile. Microsystems incorporate radiation-hardened microelectronics as well as other advanced components such as micromachines, optoelectronics, and photonic systems. The MESA Complex is designed to integrate the numerous scientific disciplines necessary to produce functional, robust, integrated microsystems and represents the center of Sandia's investment in microsystems research, development, and prototyping activities. This suite of facilities encompasses approximately 400,000 square feet and includes cleanroom facilities, laboratories and offices.

It used to be a Corvette. Really. Honestly. Then, two weeks before the Rolex 24 Hour Race at Daytona, GM decided to call all the Crawford Daytona Prototypes Pontiacs. The good part was they got to keep their Corvette engines. Oh, they also got to keep their Corvette taillights. I've decided to call these cars the Pontiac Z06. After all, it still has the LS6 engine-the very same engine that a lot of you guys have in your late-model Corvettes.
The Grand American Road Racing Association (i.e. NASCAR) came up with a plan for sports car racing back in 2002. The wizards that brought us NASCAR looked at sports car racing and decided it was time for a change. The France family had grown tired of the automobile companies coming into racing and spending a zillion dollars and then leaving after three years.
The France clan wanted to create a sports car series where the average multi-millionaire would stand a chance of winning. Level the playing field and give everyone a chance, or at least everyone with a huge pile of money. Thus was born the Daytona Prototype class.
When Grand Am announced this new idea for sports car racing in North America, there were more skeptics than supporters. The whole idea of very tight rules and unchanging specifications had never been tried in sports car racing before. Traditionally, the teams that spent the most money won. Lobbying for rules changes was also a fact of life in sports car racing; Porsche and Audi have proved that theory any number of times.
Grand Am also had this novel idea that the driver ought to play a role in winning. (Can anyone name the drivers who won LeMans last year?) In some series, the car is the star, and in other series, the driver is the star. Real quick now, can you name the drivers that won Sebring last year? You also know the Corvette races at LeMans, but can you name any of the drivers besides Ron Fellows?
This novel idea for reorganizing American sports car racing was unsettling to a lot of the traditional sports car fans who predicted doom for the Daytona Prototype cars.
Make all the cars equal and the average fan can not only figure it out, but actually enjoy it. This has worked for NASCAR, and it's now working for sports car racing. There are still three classes this season, but next year's plan is to go with just two classes. Interestingly enough, both these classes will be similar in speed. Neither of the two classes will be faster than the other over five or six hours of racing.
One class will consist of the Daytona Prototypes, and the other class will be for GT cars-otherwise known as the Porsche class. Chevrolet at one time had an interest in this class but quickly pulled back. The money was then spent on the C5-R in the American LeMans Series. Ford, Toyota, Porsche, and BMW jumped into the Prototype class last year.
GM arrived a year late to the party, but they're in it big time now. Gary Claudio (one of GM's performance mavens with a corporate checkbook) is on the scene, not to mention a legion of PR types whose main job seems to be taking dealer's wives (all dressed in very expensive casual clothes) around the garage area and having Robby Gordon pose for pictures with them. When the PR minions show up with large expense accounts, you know the factory effort is serious.
