“…SANS is a complex collection of ocular changes observed in astronauts during and after long-duration space missions [1]. Initially identified through post-flight examinations, SANS includes symptoms such as globe flattening [2], choroidal folds [3], and optic disc oedema [4]. The proposed mechanisms underpinning SANS pathophysiology are not fully clear yet, but include cephalad brain and orbital fluid shift [5,6], increased levels of radiation [7], intracranial pressure changes, vascular dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction [8] and shifts in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, which collectively may contribute to the ocular changes documented [9].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
