Immune System Dysregulation During Spaceflight: Potential Countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration Missions.
Brian Crucian,Alexander Choukèr,Richard J. Simpson,Satish K. Mehta,Gailen D. Marshall,Scott M. Smith,Sara R. Zwart,Martina Heer,S. A. Ponomarev,Alexandra Whitmire,Jean P. Frippiat,Grace L. Douglas,Hernan Lorenzi,Judith-Irina Buchheim,George Makedonas,Geoffrey S. Ginsburg,C. Mark Ott,Duane L. Pierson,Stephanie Krieger,Natalie Baecker,Clarence Sams +20 more
TL;DR: relevant in-place operational countermeasures onboard ISS are reviewed and a myriad of potential immune countermeasures for exploration missions are discussed, including nutritional supplementation and functional foods, exercise and immunity, pharmacological options, and vaccination to mitigate herpes (and possibly other) virus risks are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red risks for a journey to the red planet: The highest priority human health risks for a mission to Mars.
Zarana S. Patel,Tyson Brunstetter,William J. Tarver,Alexandra Whitmire,Sara R. Zwart,Scott M. Smith,Janice L. Huff +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of the hazards and risks in terms of the space exposome—the total sum of spaceflight and lifetime exposures and how they relate to genetics and determine the whole-body outcome—will provide a comprehensive picture of risk profiles for individual astronauts.
Risk of Performance Decrements and Adverse Health Outcomes Resulting from Sleep Loss, Circadian Desynchronization, and Work Overload
Erin Evans-Flynn,Kevin Gregory,Lucia Arsintescu,Alexandra Whitmire,Lauren B. Leveton,William B. Vessey +5 more
TL;DR: Efforts are needed to identify the environmental and mission conditions that interfere with sleep and circadian alignment, as well as individual differences in vulnerability and resiliency to sleep loss and circadian desynchronization.
Journal ArticleDOI
