Book excerpt: This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific nutrients.

Book excerpt: The activities of the Food and Nutrition Board's Committee on Military Nutrition Research (CMNR, the committee) have been supported since 1994 by grant DAMD17-94-J-4046 from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). This report fulfills the final reporting requirement of the grant, and presents a summary of activities for the grant period from December 1, 1994 through May 31, 1999. During this grant period, the CMNR has met from three to six times each year in response to issues that are brought to the committee through the Military Nutrition and Biochemistry Division of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at Natick, Massachusetts, and the Military Operational Medicine Program of USAMRMC at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The CMNR has submitted five workshop reports (plus two preliminary reports), including one that is a joint project with the Subcommittee on Body Composition, Nutrition, and Health of Military Women; three letter reports, and one brief report, all with recommendations, to the Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, since September 1995 and has a brief report currently in preparation. These reports are summarized in the following activity report with synopses of additional topics for which reports were deferred pending completion of military research in progress. This activity report includes as appendixes the conclusions and recommendations from the nine reports and has been prepared in a fashion to allow rapid access to committee recommendations on the topics covered over the time period.

This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military Medicine Super High Altitude: Medical Impact on Soldiers The Indian Armed Forces have braved the Coldest Wars in the Himalayas since independence in a harsh but invisible environment experienced on the ground. Regimental medical officers follow the soldiers for their welfare and medical needs. This book highlights the glacier-high-altitude disease that impacts the health of our soldiers. Very little is known of military life on the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. New dimensions, critical care, vascular cold injuries, environmental medicine, and vascular thrombosis have been researched to benefit the future deployment of soldiers at forward glaciers and high altitudes beyond 16,000 ft-ASL Troops are deployed at the Karakoram ranges, at highly glaciated regions, on the highest battlefield, where soldiers deal with subhuman survival conditions, yet soldier on for the nation. Troops are deployed in non-habitable non-hospitable glaciated areas that are considered impossible for human activity. Impossible became possible with the Indian Armed Forces’ occupation and control of the Siachen Glacier in 1984- the highest, coldest battlefield in the world. Foot soldiers, engineers, gunners, airforce pilots, and medical professionals have proved their professionalism, grit, and bravery to the nation. Those who have climbed the glacier-high-altitude, whether a general officer or a sepoy, have experiences to narrate to benefit the army and the common man. These experiences are a rich source of research to benefit the soldiers. The book is mandatory for military or adventure professionals, the curriculum training of military centres, training institutions, and medical colleges. This is a unique book on terrain, high-altitude, military, operational, and medical challenges. Gen. VP Malik, PVSM, AUSM Geostrategically Siachen Glacier is virtually the roof of Eurasia and is surrounded by Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Afghanistan, USSR, China, and Tibet. Troops are fighting this battle on two fronts, the enemy and the non-enemy front. Air Marshal MS Boparai Adverse extreme weather and high-altitude effects are not taught in the standard textbooks of medical curriculum……….

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glaciers in the Andes are particularly important natural archives of present and past climatic and environmental changes, in significant part because of the N-S trend of this topographic barrier and its influence on the atmospheric circulation of the southern hemisphere. Strong gradients in the seasonality and amount of precipitation exist between the equator and 30° S. Large differences in amount east and west of the Andean divide also occur, as well as a change from tropical summer precipitation (additionally modified by the seasonal shift of the circulation belts) to winter precipitation in the west wind belt (e. g. , Yuille, 1999; Garraud and Aceituno, 2001). The so-called 'dry axis' lies between the tropical and extra tropical precipitation regimes (Figure 1). The high mountain desert within this axis responds most sensitively to the smallest changes in effective moisture. An important hydro-meteorological feature on a seasonal to inter-annual time-scale is the occurrence of EN SO events, which strongly control the mass balance of glaciers in this area (e. g. , Wagnon et ai. , 2001; Francou et ai. , in press). The precipitation pattern is an important factor for the interpretation of climatic and environmental records extracted from ice cores, because much of this information is related to conditions at the actual time of precipitation, and this is especially so for stable isotope records. Several ice cores have recently been drilled to bedrock in this area. From Huascanin (Thompson et ai. , 1995), Sajama (Thompson et ai.
