  • International Space Medicine Summit 2018
    INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2018 October 25–28, 2018 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas About the Event As we continue human space exploration, much more research is needed to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges spacefarers face. The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 12th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 25-28, 2018, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research. All ISS partners are represented at the summit. The summit is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Space Policy Program, Texas A&M University College of Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine. Organizers Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

  • A Case–Control Study of Erectile Dysfunction Among Men Diagnosed with Panic Disorder
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2004) 16, 299–302 & 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0955-9930/04 $30.00 www.nature.com/ijir Case Report A case–control study of erectile dysfunction among men diagnosed with panic disorder WA Blumentals1*, A Gomez-Caminero1,*, RR Brown1, V Vannappagari2 and LJ Russo1 1Worldwide Epidemiology, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals, Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA; and 2Department of Epidemiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, McGavran-Greenberg Hall, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA The association between panic disorder and erectile dysfunction (ED) among men was examined in the Integrated Healthcare Information Services National Managed Care Benchmark Database (IHCIS). The IHCIS is a fully de-identified, HIPAA compliant database and includes complete medical history for more than 17 million managed care lives; data from more than 30 US health plans, covering seven census regions; and patient demographics, including morbidity, age and gender. A total of 60 949 ED cases and 243 796 controls were included for analysis. Unconditional logistic regression analyses were first performed to assess the crude risk of ED, and adjusted risks of ED that accounted for comorbid conditions and comedications. A second set of analyses measured the crude and adjusted risks after restricting the patient population to men who were diagnosed with panic disorder at least 1 month prior to an ED diagnosis. In the first set of analyses, men with panic disorder were observed to have more than a two-fold increase in risk for ED (OR ¼ 2.29, 95% CI ¼ 2.03, 2.58). After adjusting for comorbid conditions, a 52% increase in risk of ED was observed (OR ¼ 1.52, 95% CI ¼ 1.34, 1.72).

    European Astronaut Selection ESA prepares for the missions of the 21 st century With the selection of its first astronauts ESA’s human spaceflight activities in 1978 and the first Spacelab mission are now entering a new era, with ESA in 1983, the European Space Agency astronauts working aboard the (ESA) took its first steps into human International Space Station (ISS), spaceflight. The advent of the Columbus Columbus starting operations, and orbital laboratory project required a the new ‘ATV’ cargo ship delivering second selection of astronauts in 1992. fresh supplies to the Station. The exploration of the Solar System will be one of humanity’s most exciting adventures in the near future. All of the world’s spacefaring nations are preparing for this huge enterprise, and an astronaut corps is essential for Europe, thanks to ESA, to take part in this endeavour. Now is the time for ESA to seek new talents to reinforce its astronaut team, to prepare for missions to the ISS, the Moon and beyond. T The Selection | How? When?

  • Battling Homesickness on Mars the Relationship Between Relatedness, Well-Being, Performance, and Displacement in a Mars Simulation Study
    BATTLING HOMESICKNESS ON MARS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELATEDNESS, WELL-BEING, PERFORMANCE, AND DISPLACEMENT IN A MARS SIMULATION STUDY Word count: 19,040 Thomas J. N. Van Caelenberg Student number: 00907011 Supervisors: Prof. Wim Beyers, Dr. Sophie Goemaere A dissertation submitted to Ghent University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Clinical Psychology Academic year: 2016 - 2017 Abstract During a Mars mission, crew will simultaneously be confined to small shared living quarters, and will experience extreme geographical and temporal isolation from all other people. Under these circumstances, group tensions have been known to cause communication issues with mission support; a phenomenon called displacement. To gain further insight in these challenges, this study investigated the effects of the psychological need for relatedness as described by the Self-Determination theory, a macro theory on human motivation. During a yearlong Mars simulation, HI-SEAS IV, six crewmembers filled out weekly self-report questionnaires measuring their level of relatedness with friends and family at home as well as fellow crewmembers living inside the Mars simulation. Crew further filled out questionnaires measuring their well-being, performance, and displacement with mission support staff outside the station. Using hierarchical modelling, the results indicated that relatedness was a predictor of crewmembers’ well-being, performance and displacement. Relatedness with fellow crewmembers was a positive predictor of crewmembers’ well-being and performance, and was a negative predictor of displacement. Relatedness with friends and family at home was a positive predictor of well- being and a negative predictor of displacement. Overall, the results provide evidence for the presence of the psychological need for relatedness as affecting crewmembers’ well-being, work performance, and displacement toward mission support, successfully applying the Self-Determination theory to a spaceflight setting.

  • 2008 Spaceport News Summary
    2008 Spaceport News Summary The 2008 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article. Followup From the 2007 Spaceport News Summary The followng is in the December 14, 2007, issue of the Spaceport News.
