Experiment Description conc. 4 Description: The purpose is to systematically determine the impact of the fluid distribution in microgravity on a comprehensive set of structural and functional measures including, but not limited to, those related to intracranial pressure, vision, morphology of the eye and its associated parts and the vascular systems of the head and neck. The study will characterize the changes in fluid distribution including intra/extracellular and intra/extravascular fluid shifts. The study will examine the relationship between the type and magnitude of the fluid shift with any effects on eye morphology and vision disturbances, intraocular pressure (IOP), and measures of intracranial pressure. The study seeks to determine whether the magnitude of fluid shifts during space flight, as well as the above effects of those shifts can be predicted based upon crewmember baseline data and responses to acute head-down tilt tests performed before launch. The study will evaluate the effect of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) on the above parameters.

Planned On-orbit Activities For 1-yr mission, three in-flight sessions will be scheduled across the increment: FD45, FD150, and R-45 days. Note: For 6-month missions, two in-flight sessions will be scheduled at: FD45 and R-45 days. Each FD session involves 4 days of testing: Day 1-- dilution measures, Day 2 -- baseline imagining measures, and Days imaging measures with Chibis. Day 1 -- dilution measures: ingest tracers [deuterium oxide (D 2 O) and sodium bromide (NaBr)]. Perform blood, urine, and saliva collections before and after ingestion. Sample galley water. Stow samples in MELFI 6
Planned On-orbit Activities Day 2 – baseline imaging measures: Cerebral and Cochlear Fluid Pressure (CCFP), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (DPOAE), Intraocular Pressure (IOP), Blood Pressure (BP), and ultrasound scanning of multiple physiological sites. Days 3 – 4 – imaging measures with Chibis. All needed hardware will be moved to the Russian segment and set up along with the Chibis the day before data collection begins. Data collection will be split over 2 days due to Chibis wear limits. Imaging measures will be repeated while the crewmember is wearing Chibis. A Russian crewmember will be required to act as a dedicated medical monitor via the Russian GAMMA monitoring system during Chibis exposure. All non-Russian hardware will be moved back to the USOS following completion of these activities. 7

Fluid Shifts Training Session Title: Fluid Shifts Overview (subject class) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Ov Prerequisite: N/A Crew Prerequisite: participation interest from subject Session Duration: 15 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-18 to L-12 months; schedule immediately before first Fluid Shifts class for subject [Imaging Measures #1 or #2 (Ultrasound Imaging)] Location: J9 PDL. Session Synopsis: Crewmember will be provided an overview of the experiment and its objectives. On-orbit sessions and their timing will be described along with all the hardware that will be used. The method and goals of the pre- and postflight BDC sessions will be discussed. The subject will gain complete understanding of expectations for data collection activities for the Fluid Shifts experiment. 10
Fluid Shifts Training Cont. Session Title: Fluid Shifts Imaging Measures #1 (subject class) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Imaging Measures Prerequisite: Fluid Shifts Ov (can be scheduled in PDL prior to this class) Crew Prerequisite: Signed consent for subject Session Duration: 60 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-18 to L-12 months Location: J9 PDL Session Synopsis: Crewmember will practice self data collection using the CCFP and DPOAE. Proper data saving to PC and set up of data downlink will be trained. Subject safety will be emphasized. Note: Med Ops currently trains the crewmember on the tonometer. If Med Ops should discontinue this training, then ISSMP may have to add it to payload training. 11
Fluid Shifts Training Cont. Session Title: Fluid Shifts Imaging Measures #2 (ultrasound) (subject and operator class, can be scheduled separately) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Ultrasound Imaging Prerequisite: P HRF Ultrasound, ESA CDL HLTA, Fluid Shifts Ov (can be scheduled in PDL prior to this class as needed) Crew Prerequisite: Signed consent for subject Session Duration: 60 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-18 to L-12 months Location: J9 PDL Note: Surrogate subjects provided Clothing note: Crewmember subject should wear shorts. For ultrasound of the chest area, subjects will be provided a loose-fitting garment/cover-up to avoid getting gel on clothing. It is preferable for no brassiere to be worn to allow for easier data acquisition. If subject prefers to wear a brassiere or swimsuit top, it should not include an underwire or a stiff elastic band (such as in a sport bra) since those features can inhibit data acquisition. Session Synopsis: The subject will practice ultrasound data collection activities including some self-scanning and/or operator scanning of the different target areas via remote guidance. Subject training will also cover blood pressure data using the ESA CDL HLTA and manometer operations. Operator-only scanning will focus on ultrasound data collection and may require less time (TBD). 12
Fluid Shifts Training Cont. Session Title: Fluid Shifts Dilution Measures (subject class) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Dilution Measures Prerequisite: Fluid Shifts Ov Co-requisite: P HRF Phlebotomy Task Crew Prerequisite: Signed consent for subject Session Duration: 60 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-12 to L-6 months Location: J9 PDL Session Synopsis: Crewmember will be provided summary overview of inflight session including hardware involved. Proper techniques for sample collection will be trained. Inflight, crewmember will ingest tracers and perform blood, urine, and salvia collections. Blood samples will be processed in the centrifuge. A sample of galley water will also be collected. All samples will be stowed in MELFI. The importance of sample collection timing will be emphasized. 13
Fluid Shifts Training Cont. Session Title: Fluid Shifts Imaging Measures #3 (Russian Segment Ops ) (subject and operator class, can be scheduled separately) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Russian Ops Prerequisite: Med Ops Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Crew Prerequisite: Signed consent for subject Session Duration: 60 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-12 to L-6 months Location: J9 PDL, J9 Russian Segment Session Synopsis: The crewmember will transfer experiment hardware from USOS sections and configure the hardware in the Russian Segment (RS). Data collection using a variety of hardware (CCFP, DPOAE, OCT, tonometer, manometer) and data transfer/ downlink operations will be covered. The crewmember subject will gain an understanding of the operations needed to move hardware, set up, and operate in the RS. The crewmember operator will practice scanning activities while subject (or surrogate) is outfitted with RS operations hardware (Chibis simulator – no power). Note: Russian crewmembers will be trained on Chibis and GAMMA ops in Russia. NASA crewmember needs safety familiarization training from RSA. 14
Fluid Shifts Training Cont. Session Title: Fluid Shifts Integrated (subject and operator class, schedule together, if possible) PLCR Title: P HRF Fluid Shifts Integrated Ops Prerequisite: all previous classes Crew Prerequisite: Signed consent for subject Session Duration: 120 minutes Session Scheduling: between L-6 to L-3 months Location: J9 PDL Clothing Note: Crewmember subject should wear shorts. For ultrasound of the chest area, subjects will be provided a loose-fitting garment/cover-up to avoid getting gel on clothing. It is preferable for no brassiere to be worn to allow for easier data acquisition. If subject prefers to wear a brassiere or swimsuit top, it should not include an underwire or a stiff elastic band (such as in a sport bra) since those features can inhibit data acquisition. Session Synopsis: Crewmembers will configure for on-orbit operations and complete all imaging measure collections using ultrasound with manometer and CDL HLTA, CCFP, DPOAE, OCT, and tonometer. Ultrasound scanning will be directed via remote guidance. Data will be transferred by crew for downlink. Session will be evaluated on crewmembers’ abilities to capture quality scientific data. 15

Fluid Shifts Training conc. Efficiencies: Several classes required to support Fluid Shifts already exist (USND 2, Phlebotomy, Med Ops OCT -- all generic). No new materials or resources required. Current Experiment Letter requests CDL HLTA hardware training from ESA. This device is a relative simple blood pressure cuff. It is hoped that the Experiment Letter with ESA, will be changed to allow NASA to include CDL HLTA training in our experiment unique class. Much of the material in the Fluid Shifts classes will be similar to other classes (scanning techniques; blood draws; urine, salvia, and gallery water sampling; RC setup; MELFI insertion). As such, these class materials will be easy for the team to compile. Crew will also be familiar with all but the experiment specific elements (new hardware, new ultrasound scanning sites) and setup and operations in the Russian Segment. If crewmember is subject for another experiment involving ultrasound scanning; blood, urine, saliva, galley water sample collection; RC operations; and MELFI stowage, the generic skills training will not be repeated. Reference material will be available on-orbit. 17
Experiment Start and Concerns 18 It is anticipated that this experiment will start with the 1-yr mission crewmembers. (Note: if Ks and Kor participate, no subjects will be requested from Inc. 44 or 46 crews.) It was presented to Kelly during his August 2013 Informed Consent Briefing (ICB) and he indicated interest. It will be presented to the Russian crewmember during a January 2014 ICB. Signed consent forms are expected in March 2014 at earliest. Russian crewmember will require translator for experiment training sessions. Russian crewmember will need to train at NASA. Unclear whether current crew rotation template includes NASA payload training. The Experiment Support Team is currently working all schedules to support readiness for Inc. 43. New flight hardware has been ordered and is undergoing modifications for flight verification and certification. Payload Training Dry Runs (PTDRs) for the first three or four sessions are planned for Jan Due to anticipated 1-yr crewmember participation, operators from Increments 42, 44, and 46 will need to be trained.
Experiment Risks 19 Implementation negotiations with Russian counterparts have begun; however, no agreements have been signed. Use of Russian Chibis and Gamma System is under discussion. Operations in the Russian segment including moving and operating USOS hardware therein is under discussion. Recent US government furlough has impacted schedules for Russian meeting at NASA with PI and NASA meeting in Russia. Schedule impacts are TBD. ISS Program Office broad direction has been given to proceed with training through existing channels. We are interpreting this direction as being able to schedule the Russian 1-yr crewmember for operator training through the normal POIC process without any further agreement. Due to the risk of not getting a Russian operator (new territory), we would like to plan to train Inc. 42, 44, and 46 crewmembers as operators.
