Mystery deepens--blood on the space-shuttle Discovery's flight STS 26 at zero gravity and some deductions or extrapolations.

Abstract

The second "aggregation of red cells" experiment that was performed on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space-shuttle Discovery's flight STS 26 confirms the results that were obtained in 1985; however, some new features have come to light, in particular, the observation of a clot or thrombus which, so far, remains unexplained. An attempt has been made to link observations on the cell-to-cell interaction and blood viscosity under zero gravity to some of the problems that are facing astronauts and to some new dimensions in medical science.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
