    Npj Microgravity, 2026
    This pioneering study investigated cardiovascular responses in children during simulated microgravity exposure using a 15° head-down tilt (HDT) for one hour. Twenty-six healthy participants aged 8-14 years (15 girls, 11 boys) underwent continuous non-invasive monitoring of nine cardiovascular parameters, including heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure. Results showed that children tolerated HDT well, with no signs of distress or adverse reactions. Heart rate decreased significantly during tilt, while stroke volume and left ventricular ejection time increased, suggesting adaptive cardiovascular adjustments similar to those observed in adults under microgravity conditions. Cardiac output and cardiac index exhibited transient rises in girls, followed by normalization, and no significant intersex differences were found in blood pressure responses. These findings indicate that children display physiological adaptability comparable to adults, providing novel insights into pediatric cardiovascular function in microgravity analogs and supporting considerations for future inclusion of young participants in space research and tourism.

    Introduction Realistic simulation, including standardized patients, virtual reality and hybrid modalities, offers immersive and risk‐free environments for psychiatric training, yet its impact on learner outcomes remains unclear. This systematic review assesses how realistic simulation influences knowledge, skills and confidence in psychiatric education for healthcare students and professionals in medicine and nursing. Methods We followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines to search, screen and analyse articles in BVS, Embase, PUBMED and Scopus databases through 15 April 2025. We included quantitative studies with control groups that evaluated active, realistic simulation interventions in psychiatry. Four reviewers independently screened, extracted data and applied the JBI's critical appraisal tools, according to each study design to assess the trustworthiness, relevance and results of the published papers. Results Of 7690 records, eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions spanned standardized patient encounters, video‐based mental status exams, 360° lived‐experience immersions, virtual‐reality self‐harm scenarios and cross‐professional OSCEs. Most studies reported significant improvements versus traditional methods in diagnostic reasoning, clinical assessment, communication, empathy and self‐reported confidence; one pilot found no between‐group differences despite positive learner feedback. All studies clearly described instruments and objectives, 50% employed randomized or matched controls, 100% targeted student learning, 88% discussed limitations and 75% detailed applicability to medical curricula. Conclusion Realistic simulation enhances multiple competencies in psychiatric education but is hampered by methodological heterogeneity and limited controlled designs. Standardized outcome measures, longitudinal follow‐up and exploration of emerging modalities are needed to optimize and validate their role in mental health training.

    <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Goal</i> : Lessons learned from decades of human spaceflight have helped advance the delivery of healthcare in rural and remote areas of the globe. Inclusion of the public in spaceflights is not yet accompanied by technology capable of monitoring their physical and mental health, managing clinical conditions, and rapidly identifying medical emergencies. Telepharmacy is a practice prioritizing pharmacotherapeutic guidance and monitoring to help improve patient quality of life, and can potentially expand the field of space medicine. We seek to advance pharmaceutical care through telepharmacy by developing a digital platform. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Objective:</i> This study focuses on the development of a digital platform for teleassistance and pharmaceutical teleconsulting services that builds on lessons learned in delivering space medicine. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Methods:</i> The platform contains evidence-based information on various drugs grouped by medical specialty, and also records and saves patient appointments. It has specific service protocols for service standardization, including artificial intelligence, to allow agility in services and escalation. All data is protected by privacy and professional ethics guidelines. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Results:</i> The telepharmacy platform is ready and currently undergoing testing for ground applications through validation studies in hospitals or medical clinics. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Conclusions:</i> Although developed for use on Earth, this telepharmacy platform provides a good example of how terrestrial healthcare knowledge and technology can be transferred to space missions.

    INTRODUCTION: Suicide is a serious public health problem that affects the whole world. This study describes development of the prototype for an mHealth application (app) intended to assist healthcare professionals to identify suicide risk in hospitalized patients and reports on testing of the app by some of these professionals, conducted to confirm its functionality. METHOD: This is applied exploratory research into use of Information Technology within the healthcare field, based on application prototyping for mobile devices. The research was conducted at the Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre (UFCSPA) from 2017 to 2019. Six healthcare professionals, one data scientist, and three undergraduate students in Biomedical Informatics took part in the study. All research participants signed the free and informed consent form. RESULTS: The main findings show that the development team created a prototype named Detect-S, which became a cross-platform application (iOS and Android) offering 16 functions. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that Detect-S has the potential to be a positive technological instrument that can be tested in a hospital setting to assist healthcare professionals to identify and manage patients with at risk of suicide.
  • Testing within constraints: A practical approach
    Juliana Herbert, Silvia Nane
    ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2016
    Being able to assure and evaluate system functionality and reliability is essential when we consider the concept of software quality. Although the concept of quality is broader, all the other criteria are secondary if a system fails performing its functions. Software testing is one of the primary methods used in the validation and verification of output in software development industry. However, software testing is considered an expensive process, accounting for as much as 50% of the cost of developing software based systems. Considering this situation, this discipline is often under pressure due time, cost and skills constraints. Although software testing must be optimized, the idea of just adding these constraints affects negatively the effectiveness of the process. The optimization must be done using systematic testing, with the purpose to select reliable test cases. As it is not possible to assure that all the defects of the software under test were identified, it is important to be able to prioritize testing activities. This paper presents a practical approach to test within constraints. Using this approach, the "testing combo", it is possible to define 40 hours testing projects, prioritizing test cases based on the identified risks and on the business value. It is a collaborative approach, where testers and customers work together through daily reports evaluation. The paper also presents a case study where this approach was used in five different projects, in the context of a testing factory.
