situation awareness(English)
- up-to-the-minute cognizance or awareness required to move about, operate equipment, or maintain a system. The term has received considerable attention in the military community. In the applied behavioral science community, the term situation awareness has emerged as a psychological concept similar to such terms as intelligence, vigilance, attention, fatigue, stress, compatibility, and workload

saccular aneurysm(English)
- aneurysms develop at branch points of high intravascular turbulence and abnormal vessel wall shear stress. They arise in areas with complex arterial vascular geometry, particularly bifurcations and curvatures that contribute to increases in wall shear stress. Although formation is linked to diffuse genetic/familial, environmental, and immunologic risk factors, saccular aneurysms seldom occur in random locations. They tend to arise in sites similar to where giant and fusiform aneurysms form, with comparable and predictable geometric and anatomical properties. Vascular flow is turbulent or laminar. Turbulent flow has random variations in temporal and spatial components, with inconsistent predictability. Laminar flow typically occurs in large, straight vessels and is synonymous with normal physiological conditions but can be more complex or “disturbed,” occurring in areas of arterial bifurcations or poststenotic areas. These perturbations in flow often result in endothelial dysfunction, aiding aneurysm formation. The endothelial response to wall shear stress appears to cause a cascade of gene signaling, morphological, and phenotypic changes that result in the initiation, progression, and rupture of intracranial aneurysms
