What Spending a Record 371 Days in Space Taught Astronaut Frank Rubio
On Sep. 27, astronaut Frank Rubio, 48, broke the record for the longest continuous spaceflight by an American with his 371-day mission. When he returned to earth, his first meal back was a salad.  [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “What most of us crave when we get back is fresh food, fresh fruits, vegetables. I kept saying that I wanted a salad,” he recounts. Some may find this surprising, but it was that texture, crunch, and full sensory experience of eating food that he craved most while at the International Space Station (ISS), a football field-sized platform that orbits nearly 250 miles...

What to Know About Complementary Treatments for Lupus
Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can be a distressing and disorienting experience. Surveys of people who have chronic diseases have found that many experience a sense of powerlessness, and that they tend to view their condition as more than a threat to their health; it’s also seen as a threat to their psychological well-being, as well as their social and personal identities. All of these experiences may be heightened among people with lupus, a complex autoimmune condition that tends to arise unexpectedly and in relatively young patients. The unpredictable and highly variable course of the disease can contrib...

Vacation days taken and working during vacation tied to burnout
The number of vacation days taken by physicians -- and working on patient-related tasks while on vacation -- are tied to physician burnout, a study published January 12 in JAMA Network Open found. Researchers led by Christine Sinsky, MD, from the American Medical Association in Chicago reported that overall, nearly 60% of U.S. physicians took three weeks of vacation or less per year, while seven in 10 physicians worked while on vacation, with both findings associated with higher rates of burnout. However, among specialty disciplines, radiologists and radiation oncologists have the highest proportion of physicians taking ...

PET scanner visualizes brain activity during cough
In this study, the researchers evaluated whether the experimental PET system could clarify brain activity during CiTA. This would allow clinicians to predict whether CiTA will be effective before attempting it in patients with brain lesions who have sustained damage to the regions related to cough control, they wrote. The group enrolled 24 healthy patients who underwent separate O-15 water PET scans during four tasks: resting, voluntary cough, induced cough (where participants were induced by CiTA), and suppressed cough. Participants were fitted with masks for cough measurements during two-minute PET scans. The tussive a...
