Intraocular Pressure during Spaceflight and Risk of Glaucomatous Damage in Prolonged Microgravity
Microgravity introduces diverse pathological and various physiological changes to the human body, including intraocular pressure. Astronauts may develop a constellation of symptoms and signs including optic disc edema, choroidal folds, and a hyperopic ...

Expert consensus on safety and health risk assessment for suborbital space tourism (2026 edition)
The rapid development of suborbital commercial spaceflight has gradually transformed space tourism from a conceptual vision into tangible reality, presenting entirely new challenges for medical screening of ordinary passengers. Suborbital flight involves

Space Environment and Space Medicine
The space environment is a harsh space for humans who have evolved for a long time by adapting to the earth environment. The cosmic conditions that humans experience in outer space including the moon and Mars, such as altered gravity, exposure to cosmic ...

ABSTRACT Background Cerebellar ataxia after pediatric brain tumor treatment can cause persistent gait, balance, and speech impairment, yet no established rehabilitation strategy exists. Somato‐cognitive coordination therapy (SCCT) is a virtual reality–guided intervention designed to promote sensorimotor integration through visually constrained reaching

taVNS as a potential countermeasure for neurocognitive decline in microgravity
Exposure to microgravity induces significant physiological, cognitive, and psychomotor changes in the human body. While countermeasures such as resistance exercise and cardiovascular conditioning have been developed to address musculoskeletal and ...

Toward countering muscle and bone loss with spaceflight: GSK3 as a potential target
Summary: We examined the effects of ∼30 days of spaceflight on glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) content and inhibitory serine phosphorylation in murine muscle and bone samples from four separate missions (BION-M1, rodent research [RR]1, RR9, and RR18 ...

ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.
