Abstract

The Euromir 95 long-duration mission raised many new crew-support issues for ESA. Previous mission experience indicated the need for increased emphasis on generic tools for astronaut Thomas Reiter. In addition, some possible solutions could be demonstrated to combat Mir's onboard stowage problem. Overall, the mission considerably increased ESA's operational experience, while the experimental introduction of certain items generated a vast number of 'lessons learned' in the crew-support domain. Further experience in this area would enhance Europe's role in the International Space Station's operational phase.

Meralgia paresthetica caused by hip-huggers in a patient with aberrant course of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.

"Hip-huggers" may be a precipitating factor for meralgia paresthetica (MP), especially in thin persons with an aberrant pathway of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). We describe a 25-year-old woman with a long-standing history of MP caused by an abnormal course of the LFCN and tight trousers, specifically hip-huggers. Ultrasonography was useful for detecting the lesion site and the abnormal pathway of the LFCN. After neurectomy of the LFCN, most of the symptoms of MP were relieved, but mild hypesthesia remained in the lateral thigh.

Radiation and chemical degradation of UVR protection characteristics of fabrics.

Clothing can provide substantial protection against solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and quantifying the amount of protection can have useful applications to recreational, occupational and medical situations. However, exposure of fabrics to sunlight and sea water can alter their physical and chemical properties, resulting in a change of UVR attenuation characteristics. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of environmental degradation of fabrics on their UVR protection characteristics. The methodologies applied in this study can be used also for the assessment of protective clothing against occupational exposure.
