Space Biology, The Human Factors in Space Flight
The title of the book is misleading, as there are few papers that are related to "medicine." The characteristics of the "physics" papers vary widely. The review type of paper is well illustrated by L. R. Shepard's "Review of Possible Propulsion Systems," which gives the reader a concise outline of some of the principles and quantities involved. A number of papers deal with high-energy particles...
متن کاملOsteocyte biology: its implications for osteoporosis.
Osteocyte viability may play a significant role in the maintenance and integrity of bone. Bone loss due to osteoporosis may be due in part to osteocyte cell death. We have identified a factor that will protect both osteoblasts and osteocytes from cell death due to agents known to be responsible for various forms of osteoporosis. Not only does estrogen preserve osteoblast and osteocyte viability...
متن کاملMagnesium and Space Flight
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for muscle, cardiovascular, and bone health on Earth, and during space flight. We sought to evaluate magnesium status in 43 astronauts (34 male, 9 female; 47 ± 5 years old, mean ± SD) before, during, and after 4-6-month space missions. We also studied individuals participating in a ground analog of space flight (head-down-tilt bed rest; n = 27 (17 male, 10 fem...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology: Taking Flight
Powered flight was first mastered by insects, many millions of years ago. Now, studies with the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster reveal the critical role of a conserved transcription factor in programming the development of specialized flight muscles.
متن کاملSpace Flight Studies
A standard rodent diet for space flight must meet the unique conditions imposed by the space environment and must be nutritionally adequate since diet can influence the outcome of experiments. This paper evaluates the use of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed Foodbars as a standard space flight diet for rats. The Foodbar’s semipurified formulation permits criteria su...
