Introduction: A suite of human health and performance metrics can be used to provide a holistic cognitive, physical, and emotional view of an individual and assess how well they are integrated with the overall system during spaceflight missions. The combination of such individual metrics as defined here is notionally termed "crewmember operational state."

Methods: This work identifies and defines the contributing components that comprise the proposed crewmember operational state.

Article Synopsis
  • Inflammation significantly impacts depression, especially in individuals with chronic inflammatory diseases, leading to a higher prevalence of depression compared to the general population.
  • A study with 26 adults (mostly with asthma) examined how their brain connectivity related to depressive symptoms during periods of heightened inflammation triggered by allergens.
  • Results showed that individuals with higher depressive symptoms experienced a decline in brain connectivity, while those with lower symptoms maintained or improved connectivity, suggesting potential resilience strategies in the brain's response to inflammation.

Background: Current resuscitation guidelines recommend that skilled persons could use ultrasound to detect reversible causes during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) where the examination can be safely integrated into the Advanced Life Support (ALS) algorithm. However, in a prehospital setting performing and rapidly interpreting ultrasound can be challenging for physicians. Implementing remote, expert-guided, and real-time transmissions of ultrasound examinations offers the opportunity for tele-support, even during an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
