Note: NASA Task Load Index assessment. From the article: “This was a randomized controlled trial in which participants formed teams of three members whose task was to manage a series of four simulated in-flight medical emergencies. Using a random number generator, teams were randomly assigned to one of two groups: with support from a Flight Surgeon (with FS) and without support from a Flight Surgeon (without FS). The spacecraft vehicle simulator and mission control console used in this study are located at the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA, USA.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

A non-invasive approach to monitor anemia during long-duration spaceflight with retinal fundus images and deep learning.
Life Sci Space Res. 2022 Apr 19. Online ahead of print.
Note: From the abstract: “During spaceflight, astronauts can experience significantly higher levels of hemolysis. With future space missions exposing astronauts to longer periods of microgravity, such as missions to Mars, there will be a need to for better understanding this phenomenon. We have proposed that retinal fundus photography and deep learning may be utilized to help further understand this microgravity-induced, anemic process for future spaceflight. By utilizing astronaut and terrestrial analog metadata, a foundation can be built to develop an algorithm that allows for non-invasive retinal imaging to quantify hemoglobin levels and detect anemia during spaceflight. This approach would allow for a non-invasive retinal photograph that can be done frequently during spaceflight as opposed to an invasive blood draw and subsequent tests.”

Subjective perception of time in space flights and analogs.
Acta Astronaut. 2022 Apr 18. Online ahead of print.
Note: From the abstract: “A number of studies have shown that under certain conditions, perception of time tends to change. In isolation experiments, under monotony, time seems to slow down. In space flight, especially under stress of first days of flight, time seems to run too fast, and it is difficult for the cosmonauts to keep up with the schedule. Earth has to make special scheduling for the cosmonauts, taking into account the difficulties linked to microgravity and stress. Since 2015 we’ve been studying communication using content analysis of crew’s communication with [multi-crew coordination] MCC that is happening through open channels.”

Short-term hypergravity-induced changes in growth, photo synthetic parameters, and assessment of threshold values in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Gravit Space Res. 2022 Apr 12;10(1):10-7.
Note: From the abstract: “The reduction in growth and development of plants constantly exposed to different ranges of hypergravity (acceleration more than 1 g) is adequately documented. However, earlier studies did not reveal the threshold hypergravity value at which these effects were seen.The understanding of the threshold g-value is an important consideration while we plan hypergravity experiments as different plants can perceive and respond differently at the same g-value. The aim of the present work is to study the effect on growth and photosynthetic parameters as well as to assess the threshold values in wheat seedlings grown from hypergravity-exposed seeds.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

For that, powerful methods for selective growth and differentiation of hMSCs should be developed.”
