Station Astronauts Lose Alarming Amounts Of Hipbone Strength
Irvine CA (SPX) Jan 27, 2009Astronauts spending months in space lose significant bone strength, making them increasingly at risk for fractures later in life. UC Irvine and UC San Francisco led a study evaluating 13 astronauts who spent four to six months on the International Space Station and found that, on average, astronauts' hipbone strength decreased 14 percent. Three astronauts experienced losses of 20 percent ... more Manipulating Salmonella In Spaceflight Curtails Infectiousness 
Tempe AZ (SPX) Dec 15, 2008Infectious pathogens like Salmonella typhimurium employ a startling array of techniques to skillfully outwit the body's defense mechanisms and produce illness. Through their expression of genes-the fundamental building blocks of cellular physiology-such microbes ingeniously adapt to varied environments, modifying their disease-causing potential or virulence. Although the study of a broad ... more USRA Division Of Space Life Sciences Celebrates 25th Anniversary 
Columbia MD (SPX) Nov 11, 2008The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) is proud to announce the 25th anniversary of its Division of Space Life Sciences (DSLS). Founded in 1983 as the Division of Space Biomedicine, for the purpose of advancing space medicine through interaction between NASA Johnson Space Center and the national and international community of researchers in universities and medical schools, DSL ... more A card swipe machine may test for diseases 
Salt Lake City (UPI) Oct 30, 2008 U.S. medical scientists say they have created a prototype device that can test a person for hundreds of diseases simultaneously. University of Utah scientists say the device, similar to a card-swipe machine, scans a card loaded with microscopic blood, saliva or urine samples. "Think how fast your PC reads data on a hard drive, and imagine using the same technology to monitor your ... more |
