Effects of Spaceflight on Human Brain and Behavior:

  • Radiation Exposure: The absence of Earth’s atmosphere means increased exposure to cosmic rays and solar particles.
  • Psychological Effects: Potential feelings of isolation and confined living conditions can affect mental health.
  • Neurological Changes: Changes in brain structure and function are possible due to microgravity.

Wound Management and Healing in Space:

  • Slower Healing: Wounds heal slower due to decreased immunity and altered blood flow in microgravity.
  • Specialized Medical Kit: Includes bandages, antiseptics, antibiotics, and suture kits designed for space conditions.
  • Telemedicine: Connection to Earth-based medical professionals for advice.
