This book was released on 1990 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium summarizes published results of clinical observations and of more basic studies that help to elucidate the physiological mechanisms of adaptation of humans to prolonged bed rest. If the authors' abstract or summary was appropriate, it was included. In some cases a more detailed synopsis is provided, under the subheadings Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. This volume includes material published from 1981 through 1988.

Book excerpt: This technical report presents the results from a special physiological study of women performed at the Johnson Space Center in 1976-77. The purpose was to establish a substantially large (98 subjects) normative data base taken from a general population of working women who might be considered representative of future women astronauts. The data sets consist of medical historical, clinical, anthropometric, and stress response determinations and measurements which would be relevant to human space flight and hence helpful in establishing appropriate medical screening criteria (types of tests and their normal values) for selecting women astronauts. The stressors chosen were lower body negative pressure and static standing (both orthostatic) and treadmill exercise (ergometric). Most methods were identical to or similar adaptations of those protocols used in testing Apollo and Skylab program crewmen. Data are provided in two formats: (1) original individual values which are amenable to cross correlations and subsequent analyses in any subsets which might be of interest and (2) statistical summaries and correlations suggested by the variables themselves and by certain questions which concern investigators of the human responses to microgravity. Of notable comment is the very great similarity of many characteristics of the women subjects of this study generated before selection of any American women astronauts and the corresponding characteristics of those women astronauts now regularly flying among Shuttle space crews.

Download or read book Spaceflight in the Shuttle Era and Beyond written by Valerie Neal and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the changing conceptions of the Space Shuttle program and a call for a new vision of spaceflight. The thirty years of Space Shuttle flights saw contrary changes in American visions of space. Valerie Neal, who has spent much of her career examining the Space Shuttle program, uses this iconic vehicle to question over four decades’ worth of thinking about, and struggling with, the meaning of human spaceflight. She examines the ideas, images, and icons that emerged as NASA, Congress, journalists, and others sought to communicate rationales for, or critiques of, the Space Shuttle missions. At times concurrently, the Space Shuttle was billed as delivery truck and orbiting science lab, near-Earth station and space explorer, costly disaster and pinnacle of engineering success. The book’s multidisciplinary approach reveals these competing depictions to examine the meaning of the spaceflight enterprise. Given the end of the Space Shuttle flights in 2011, Neal makes an appeal to reframe spaceflight once again to propel humanity forward. “Neal may be the one person who knows the space shuttle program better than the astronauts who flew this iconic vehicle. Her book casts new light on the program, exploring its cultural significance through a thoughtful analysis. As one who lived this history, I gained much from her broader perspective and deep insights.”—Kathryn D. Sullivan, retired NASA astronaut and former Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration “A much needed look at how to create a cultural narrative for human spaceflight that resonates with millennials rather than the Apollo generation. Quite valuable.”—Marcia Smith, Editor, SpacePolicyOnline.com

Download or read book Physiological Responses to Prolonged Bed Rest and Fluid Immersion in Man written by John Edward Greenleaf and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water immersion and prolonged bed rest reproduce nearly all the physiological responses observed in astronauts in the weightless state. Moreover, it appears that relative to actual weightlessness, given responses tend to occur sooner in immersion and later in bed rest. Much research has been conducted on humans using these two techniques, especially by Russian scientists. This compendium contains abstracts and annotations of reports that appeared in the literature from January 1974 through December 1980. Two other related compendia have been published: Adaptation to Prolonged Bed Rest in Man: A Compendium of Research, by J.E. Greenleaf, C.J. Greenleaf, D. Van Derveer, and K.J. Dorchak (NASA TM X-3307, 1976); and Physiologic Responses to Water Immersion in Man: A Compendium of Research, by J. Kollias, D. Van Derveer, K.J. Dorchak, and J.E. Greenleaf (NASA TM X-3308, 1976).

Download or read book Circulatory Response to the Upright Posture written by James J. Smith and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-09-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only up-to-date systematic review of normal human response to upright posture and lower body negative pressure (LBNP). It analyzes the key factors that influence postural tolerance, such as physical fitness, weightlessness, age, and sex. It also provides extensive details on the circulatory changes that have occurred during U.S. and Soviet manned space flights. The text is brilliantly illustrated with diagrams, tables, and comments on circulatory methods. Readers will discover some information which has never before been published. This one-of-a-kind volume also reviews the diagnosis and treatment of orthostatic hypotension-an extremely common orthostatic disorder. Circulatory Response to the Upright Posture is the first available literature since 1982 of human physiological and pathophysiological aspects of postural tolerance. A wide variety of readers will find this title interesting and of value. Circulatory physiologists, cardiologists, and everyone with an interest in exercise physiology, aging, space physiology, and environmental physiology will especially benefit from this writing.
