An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Abstract Advanced age is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs). Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has also been recognized as a risk factor for ADRD, potentially contributing to an earlier onset of the disease. Thus, elucidating the mechanisms underlying brain ageing and TBI is critical for developing strategies to ...

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Abstract figure legend In silico trials were conducted in 654 virtual patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to assess the cardioversion efficacy of three pharmacological treatments: single SK and K2P channel block and combined SK+K2P channel inhibition. Left: representative virtual AF patient with the atria inside the torso.
