This paper reviews the interventions to stabilize calcium balance and bone metabolism and prevent bone loss in astronauts during space flight. Weightlessness during space flight results in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K deficiency, increases urinary calcium excretion, decreases intestinal calcium absorption, and increases serum calcium level, with decreased levels of serum parathyroid hormon...

PURPOSE This study was performed to investigate whether occupationally related color vision deficiency can occur from welding. METHODS A total of 50 male welders, who had been working as welders for at least 4 years, were randomly selected as case group, and 50 age matched non-welder men, who lived in the same area, were regarded as control group. Color vision was assessed using the Lanthony ...

A 56-year-old woman presented with severe iron-deficiency anemia and memory disturbance. She had been in a state of severe iron deficiency for many years due to an unbalanced diet. Aerobic exercise test revealed an abnormal elevation of lactate and pyruvate reflecting mitochondrial dysfunction. After iron replacement therapy, WAIS verbal IQ score improved from 63 to 83, and levels of lactate an...

The current study examined the effect of interocular delay in a manual aiming task that required accurate end-point placement, but not precise control of a grip aperture. Participants aimed in binocular, monocular, or alternating monocular vision conditions. For the latter, 25ms monocular samples were provided to alternate eyes without delay (0ms), or a delay of 25 or 50ms. The interocular dela...
