Cardiovascular deconditioning during long-term spaceflight through multiscale modeling [PDF]
Human spaceflight has been fascinating man for centuries, representing the intangible need to explore the unknown, challenge new frontiers, advance technology and push scientific boundaries further. A key area of importance is cardiovascular deconditioning, that is, the collection of hemodynamic changes - from blood volume shift and reduction to ...

Optical Hemodynamic Imaging of Jugular Venous Dynamics During Altered Central Venous Pressure [PDF]
An optical imaging system is proposed for quantitatively assessing jugular venous response to altered central venous pressure. The proposed system assesses sub-surface optical absorption changes from jugular venous waveforms with a spatial calibration procedure to normalize incident tissue illumination.
