Scientists proposed to bring blood of cosmonauts to combat influence of weightlessness

Russian specialists from the A.F. Medical Radiological Scientific Center Tsyba Ministry of Health of Russia and the Institute of Machine Studies named after A. A. Blagonaran RAS called a way to combat the negative impact of weightlessness on astronauts during long-term flights into space. Reports about it TASS.

In particular, scientists suggested portering to output blood, centrifuged it, and then enter back. The essence of the approach is that at portions of blood, artificial gravity is affected by centrifuging. It is noted that hemorographication can be carried out in three modes.

As the researchers explained, such a procedure can be used in manned expeditions to Mars. It can also be performed to provide preventive, therapeutic and emergency care in certain diseases. In addition, hemorographication will make it possible to make an individual workpiece of components of the blood of cosmonauts in a long stay in space.

In 2017, Russian researchers, together with colleagues from Canada, revealed the influence of the flight into space on the protein composition of the blood. It turned out that the human body reacts to weightlessness as a disease at the molecular level, and the immune system includes all sorts of protective mechanisms.
