title: [Correlation of the cosmonauts' physiological reactions to +Gx loads during deorbit with the hemodynamic shifts in the period of short-term microgravity].
abstract: Physiological reactions of four cosmonauts to +Gx during the descent after short-term (less than 30 d) space flights were correlated with the hemodynamic shifts developed previously during the LBNP test and occlusive plethysmography in microgravity. The cosmonauts who had exhibited a sharp decrease in cerebral circulation during the in-flight LBNP tests showed signs of deteriorated cerebral blood flow (vertigo, weakness, hyperhydration) at the attempt to assume the vertical posture and to climb out of the landing module. Also, the cosmonauts found to have the arterial and venous tone significantly dropped in microgravity, suffered petechial hemorrhages in the back integument during the exposure to +Gx. These data suggest a correlation between the physiological reactions of cosmonauts to +Gx at the end of short-term space flight and the shifts in hemodynamics earlier in microgravity.
