Pathology in Dogs Exposed to Negative Acceleration.
Abstract
The occurrence of petechiae in the frontal sinuses of dogs exposed to negative acceleration precedes other injury and is acceptable as a satisfactory endpoint in determing the limit of tolerance of dogs to negative acceleration. Using the above endpoint it was observed that as the time of exposure to acceleration decreases, the tolerable magnitude of negative acceleration increases. This increase is considerably less than would be expected from the assumption that the physiological effect is the same where the product of the magnitude of acceleration and the time of exposure is constant.
