"NLN Roundtable Discussion on Spaceflight and Lymphatics"

Roundtable Discussion with Dr. M. Mark Melin, Dr. Heather Barnhart, and Frank Aviles

During spaceflight, astronauts experience a dramatic fluid shift of 2 liters from their lower extremities to their head and neck with profound implications for health over the course of 6 months on the space station. This seminar will review the physiology of spaceflight related fluid shifts, the impact on astronaut crew members, a recent publication on imaging and MLD benefits in a spaceflight analog and why we need CLTs on the International Space Station!
