Abstract

To facilitate and optimise access to the results of previous microgravity experiments, ESA is establishing a Microgravity Database (MGDB). The database will give scientists access to descriptions of all experiments related to microgravity research carried out on ESA and NASA missions since the 1960s. MGDB incorporates both a local database available for PCs and Apple Macintoshes, and a remote database which can be accessed via the ESRIN Data Dissemination Network (DDN) and public X.25 networks.

Relation between acute hypoxia and activation of coagulation in human beings.

The risk of venous thrombosis may be increased during aeroplane flights, which may, partly, relate to activation of coagulation by hypoxia that is caused by the reduction of pressure in the aircraft cabin. To find out whether hypoxia activates coagulation, we exposed eight healthy human participants to 8 h of isocapnic hypoxia and 8 h of air as a control. Venous blood was sampled before and after the exposure and analysed for markers of activated coagulation. There were no significant changes. We conclude that hypoxia has no major effect on coagulation in the general population.
