Short-term space travel causes many of the same molecular and physiologic changes as long-term space missions, but most reverse within months of returning to Earth. Yet, those changes that are longer-lasting and distinct between crew members reveal new targets for aerospace medicine and can guide new missions, according to the results of a massive international research endeavor by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, SpaceX, and other organizations.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine Quantitative Assessment of Right Ventricular Function and Size Based on ECG at Mount Sinai have improved the evaluation of the heart’s right ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs, by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in a ground-breaking study.
