No. Question
1a What is the relative risk of sustaining a traumatic and/or stress fracture for a given decrement in bone mineral density, or alteration in bone geometry, in an astronaut-equivalent population who are physically active?
1b Will a period of rapid bone loss in hypogravity be followed by a slower rate of loss approaching a basal bone mineral density (BMD)? What are the estimated site-specific fracture risks as one approaches basal BMD?
1c Is there an additive or synergistic effect of gonadal hormone deficiency in men or women on bone loss during prolonged exposure to hypogravity?
1d What biophysical modalities, nutritional modifications, and pharmacological agents (alone or in combination) will most effectively minimize the decrease in bone mass due to extended hypogravity exposure?
2c Which cellular and biochemical changes in bone cell biology alter fracture healing under microgravity conditions?
2d Does the presence of microgravity-induced alteration in bone remodeling and/or osteoporosis affect fracture callus remodeling?
2e How do changes in skeletal muscle-bone interactions during space flight contribute to altered fracture healing in microgravity?
2f Do biophysical modalities play a role in improving fracture healing in a microgravity environment?
2g Do biophysical modalities play a role in improving fracture healing in the presence of bone loss in a microgravity environment?
2h Are there anabolic agents, growth factors, or cytokines that will speed fracture repair during microgravity in combination with active bone loss due to unloading?
2i What technologies will be used to diagnose fractures of the axial and appendicular skeleton in a space environment?
