Microgravity-Induced Fluid Shift and Ophthalmic Changes
Although changes to visual acuity in spaceflight have been observed in some astronauts since the early days of the space program, the impact to the crew was considered minor. Since that time, missions to the International Space Station have extended the typical duration of time spent in microgravity from a few days or weeks to many months. This has been accompanied by the emergence of a variety...
متن کاملChanges in neutrophil functions in astronauts.
Exploration class human spaceflight missions will require astronauts with robust immune systems. Innate immunity will be an essential element for the healthcare maintenance of astronauts during these lengthy expeditions. This study investigated neutrophil phagocytosis, oxidative burst, and degranulation of 25 astronauts after four space shuttle missions and in nine healthy control subjects. Spa...
متن کاملOcular changes in rabbits with corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension.
Rabbit eyes with steroid-induced ocular hypertension were investigated in order to evaluate the histochemical abnormalities in the chamber angle region. The right eye of 14 rabbits was treated by dexamethasone 1% 3 times daily for 3 to 5 weeks. The eyes were stained by haematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid Schiff, fibrin, colloidal iron, and alcian blue with and without hyaluronidase. All treated e...
متن کاملChanges in sight
Starting its work ahead of the Brazilian Society of Dermatoloy, the new editorial board intends to implement some changes aiming mainly at improving the quality of the journal. A decision considered crucial is the standardization of the print magazine exclusively in Portuguese, since this version is directed primarily to domestic readers. Thus, the national authors and foreigners who have Portu...
متن کاملModeling of blood lead levels in astronauts exposed to lead from microgravity-accelerated bone loss.
INTRODUCTION Most astronauts experiencing prolonged microgravity undergo accelerated bone loss at a whole-body rate of 0.5-1% per month, with some load-bearing bones losing mass at normalized rates up to about 2.6% per month. The accompanying release of lead (Pb) stored in bones would increase the concentration of Pb in the blood (PbB), thereby complicating efforts to set acceptable Pb concentr...
