Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe Passage: Astronaut Care for Exploration Missions sets forth a vision for space medicine as it applies to deep space voyage. As space missions increase in duration from months to years and extend well beyond Earth's orbit, so will the attendant risks of working in these extreme and isolated environmental conditions. Hazards to astronaut health range from greater radiation exposure and loss of bone and muscle density to intensified psychological stress from living with others in a confined space. Going beyond the body of biomedical research, the report examines existing space medicine clinical and behavioral research and health care data and the policies attendant to them. It describes why not enough is known today about the dangers of prolonged travel to enable humans to venture into deep space in a safe and sane manner. The report makes a number of recommendations concerning NASA's structure for clinical and behavioral research, on the need for a comprehensive astronaut health care system and on an approach to communicating health and safety risks to astronauts, their families, and the public.

Download or read book Engineering Life Sciences and Health medicine Synergy in Aerospace Human Systems Integration written by Richard S. Williams (Physician) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful design, development, and operation of human-rated systems for spaceflight requires the combined efforts of engineering, science, and human health disciplines. Each of these disciplines contributes a different set of scientific and technical expertise in addressing the challenges of planning, designing, and operating safely and successfully in the environment of space. HSI can be defined as an interdisciplinary and comprehensive management and technical process that focuses on the integration of human considerations into the system acquisition and development processes to enhance human system design, reduce life-cycle ownership cost, and optimize total system performance. The implementation of HSI is challenging and often fraught with problems. HSI must play an integral and active role in the development of spacecraft and high performance aircraft. This role must address considerations related to health and safety of the operators and passengers. Complex systems that are not human-rated, operated directly or remotely by humans, must also undergo the HSI process for full success.The primary goal of the project was to identify and understand differences and to make recommendations for improving the ability of the communities to work together more effectively to improve HSI and systems operations. Notable examples of HSI failures in aviation and space vehicles are provided. The complexities of human-machine interfaces are examined from behavioral health and human factors perspectives. Differences in the ways that engineers, life scientists, and physicians approach problem evaluation and solving are described. Additionally, an innovative approach to human health risk evaluation using sets of ethical principles and responsibilities to guide decision-making in extraordinary risk acceptance is described in detail.This document summarizes the differences in the medical/life sciences and engineering communities of practice, beginning with the substrate on which each community works, continuing through professional lexicon, risk analysis and identification, to risk remediation and problem resolution. Cultural and practical bridges need to be built between the communities of practice responsible for the design, development, and operation of human occupied and operated systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of scientific papers presented at the XVIII International Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 15-18 September 1969. It is dedicated to General E. de Vries and Dr. K. Vaan drager, President and Vice-President of the Congress, who wished that this unsur passed exchange of scientific information by distinguished authorities of the inter national aerospace medical community be made readily available to all as a valuable source of information. I am deeply grateful to the Congress Committee for honoring me with this editorship, to the authors for submitting generally excellent manuscripts and to the publisher for compiling a book of such high quality. This book contains both Main Theme papers, given by invited lecturers, and selected Free Communications at the Congress. Main Themes were 'physiology of atmospheric pressure' (papers by Ernsting, Meijne, Sluijter, Behnke), 'vestibular problems in aviation medicine' (papers by Melvill Jones, Benson, Oosterveld, Groen, Guedry and Benson, Brandt, Henriksson and Nilsson), 'aviation and cardiology' (papers by Blackburn, Wood) and 'space medicine' (paper by Berry). The Free Communications herein focus on many areas of continuing and timely interest to clinicians and investigators in aerospace medicine. Selection and health maintenance of pilots, medical problems in airline passengers, use of the centrifuge as a therapeutic device, and circadian rhythm effects on man's psychophysiological state receive particular attention.
