Space Travel Souvenir: Back Pain
Steven Cohen, MD, professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins and a retired Army colonel Low Gravity-Related Pain is Common According to the review, past studies of astronauts have shown that 52% of space travelers report some form of back pain in the first 2 to 5 days of space travel. Radostin Penchev, MD, resident physician at The Johns Hopkins Hospital Preventing and Treating Astronauts’ Back Pain In their review of past studies, the researchers said that along with microgravity’s stresses, other contributors to back pain in space include the intense physical experience of riding in a rocket and a change in dietary habits that could alter nutritional levels in the body and impact tissue health and healing. Other methods to prevent back pain among astronauts mentioned by the researchers include massage, nutritional supplementation to increase vitamin D and caloric intake, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and negative pressure devices, all paired with resistance exercise. To combat the intense vibrations and speed of riding rockets into space, Cohen, Penchev and their team believe that engineering space vehicles to improve impact protection for the flight crew and align the forces of acceleration and impact with human anatomy could reduce the number of astronauts experiencing long-term back pain or injury, per the release.

Virtual reality: Advanced imaging special effects let you roam in cyberspace
We describe current embodiments of Virtual Reality: a computer‐synthesized three‐dimensional environment (cyberspace) in which a plurality of human participants, appropriately interfaced, may engage and manipulate simulated physical elements in the environment and, in some forms, may engage and interact with representations of each other, and in projected future versions, may interact with representations of other humans, past, present, or fictional, or invented creatures. We discuss the development of Virtual Reality through the converging technologies of simulation of advanced aerospace and military equipment, digital imaging, and motion picture special effects (F/X), and examine its likely future course and impacts including those in libraries. © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
