'Man in extreme environments: applied physiology from subsea to space ', Trondheim, Norway
16 December 2010 - 16 December 2010
Norway
A conference entitled 'Man in extreme environments: applied physiology from subsea to space' will take place on 16 and 17 December 2010 in Trondheim, Norway.
This event will bring together experts from around the world to explore the latest research on applied physiology with a basis in medical technology, environmental physiology and physiological genomics. It will also look at how humans survive in extreme environments, such as undersea, high alpine and space.
A broad spectrum of issues will be addressed, with presentations including the following:
- 'Adaptation and survival at high altitude',
- 'Is saturation diving safe? Facts and myths',
- 'Aerobic capacity is the major determinant of the continuum between health and disease',
- 'Effects of hypothermia and rewarming on cardiovascular function',
- 'The revolution of science through scuba'.
The conference is organised by the Baromedical and Environmental Physiology group at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The group's work centres on mechanisms and responses involved in the pathophysiology of diving and other activities that challenge the body's intrinsic potential for adaptation, and of how preventive measures such as exercise, hyperbaric oxygen pre-breathing or medical interventions may ameliorate the negative effects of diving and decompression stress.For further information, please visit: http://www.ntnu.edu/isb/man-in-extreme-environments(opens in new window)
