The record for the longest space-flight is held by physician-cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov. Back in 1994-95, he spent 437 days on the Mir space station and grew 4 centimetres in height through elongation of his spine in micro-gravity. Polyakov had an uncomfortable ride back to Earth in the very precisely customised descent module. Microgravity also causes demineralization of weight-bearing bones that is faster than age-related decline. But the cosmonaut had worked out religiously for the entire mission and after his capsule parachuted to the ground he made a point of walking from it relatively unassisted. One of the main objectives of the marathon flight had been to prove that walking proudly onto the Martian surface after a 9-month journey might be possible, given it only has 37 percent the gravitational force that Earth does. Microgravity additionally results in adaptive plasticity of the vestibular and sensorimotor networks and deconditioning of the cardiovascular system. Indeed, several years ago there was a medical emergency aboard the international space station when an ultrasound investigation revealed thrombosis of the internal jugular vein in one astronaut. In this podcast we discuss how management of cases like this has many parallels with remote medicine on earth. Part 1 of this series examined the risks of cosmic radiation and spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome among other things.  Guests Professor Gordon Cable (Australian National University; Co-founder, Human Aerospace) Dr Alicia Tucker FACEM, FAWM (Royal Hobart Hospital; University of Tasmania) Dr John Cherry PhD FACRRM (Deputy CMO, Australian Antarctic Division) Chapters 1:08 Bone mineral density 15:35 Circulation and a case study in remote medicine 35:04 Historic medevacs from spaceProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

This is the midday All Local podcast for Saturday, January 31st, 2026.

Snow and perceptual drift is this week's show. This episode includes the heaviest moments of precipitation (for us, early in the morning 1/25), which dumped white stuff all over my backyard and 56.1% of the contiguous United States. We wound up with about 10 inches.As I write this, I have just finished cursing about the school cancelling our last chance to push the kids out the door this week. It has been freezing and there's snow everywhere — so I get it. However, the kids have been home starting fights and wanting Panera for lunch all week. I'm done.And the constant melt and refreezing has left us gingerly moving about outside. I already slipped and fell off the back deck trying to wrestle with bins for trash pickup. I landed directly on my *** slid down a few steps and into hardened snow at the foot of the stairs. I looked around to see if anyone had witnessed. It's embarrassing falling in front of people — over the summer, I hit a soft shoulder with my bike, trying to put my feet down to stop myself going down a hill toward the banks of a pond. I flipped head over heels into a barrel roll in front of no fewer than four people.And I'm getting to the age where people aren't saying, “Look at that doofus.” Literal Boy Scouts have tried to rescue me — like, guys, you can't help me, I fall off of **** a lot. I fell off a moving train once.So getting to the mailbox over the icy sidewalks has been a challenge.Does anyone else rap to themselves when they are concentrating? Not freestyle — that would be absurd. No, calling upon the great verses of hip hop. I recite Inspectah Deck's “Movin' on a ***** with the speed of a centipede…” while surreptitiously eating candy with my kids in the other room.There are verses in my brain I call upon when I especially need to concentrate. As with icy conditions, I recall one of the slowest, most pedestrian lines in hip hop: Eazy-E's verse on Foe tha Love of $. And no shade to Eazy-E — he was a legend… who had a few pedestrian lines (I'm using pedestrian again, as I don't want in on any rap beefs).Eazy-E slowly raps, “So I dash, I duck, and I hide behind a tree,” to hide from the police (while working as a street pharmacist). It's pretty simple stuff.Look, I'm an Eazy-E fan. I played Merry Mutha******  Xmas every December on my college radio Christmas show in central Vermont. When Daz rapped, “**** B.G. Knocc Out and every ****** down with him,” I knew who B.G. Knocc Out was — I had B.G. Knocc Out (and Dresta's) cassette; the duo were featured heavily on Eazy-E's Str8 off tha Streetz of ************ Compton. And that album has “Just Tah Let U Know,” my fave Eazy track. BTW: lewd — lots of swears, Mom (don't click any links).

In this snow day edition of the News Man Weekly, Carl Hunnell, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray met virtually to discuss Winter Storm Fern, Hayden's dissatisfaction with the new Steelers head coach, a potential new theme song for the show, winter-related struggles and the Richland County Sheriff's stance on snow emergencies.

in i det mysiga församlingshuset som fungerade som vallokal.En: Erik, a calm and thoughtful teacher, brushed the snow from his coat as he stepped into the cozy community center that served as a polling station.Sv: Snön yrde utanför, men här inne var det varmt och fyllt av doften av kaffe.En: The snow was swirling outside, but inside it was warm and filled with the aroma of coffee.Sv: Sofia, med sitt stora leende och energiska sätt, hälsade honom direkt.En: Sofia, with her big smile and energetic manner, greeted him immediately.Sv: "Hej!En: "Hi!Sv: Jag heter Sofia.En: I'm Sofia.Sv: Vi behöver verkligen alla hjälpande händer idag," sa hon ivrigt.En: We really need all helping hands today," she said eagerly.Sv: Erik nickade och kände en lätt nervositet stiga när han satte sig vid ett bord och började räkna valkuverten.En: Erik nodded and felt a slight nervousness rise as he sat down at a table and began counting the voting envelopes.Sv: Han var här för att följa sitt nya mål – att bryta sig ur sin vardag och skapa nya kontakter i samhället.En: He was here to pursue his new goal – to break out of his daily routine and make new connections in the community.Sv: Volontärerna arbetade koncentrerat, men Erik slogs av hur Sofia verkade få alla att känna sig välkomna.En: The volunteers worked intently, but Erik was struck by how Sofia seemed to make everyone feel welcome.Sv: Hon gick fram och tillbaka, hälsade glatt på alla väljare som kom in, och såg till att alla hade vad de behövde.En: She went back and forth, cheerfully greeting all the voters who came in, and made sure everyone had what they needed.Sv: Plötsligt började snön falla allt hårdare.En: Suddenly, the snow began to fall harder.Sv: Det var som om himlen själv försökte stänga ner vallokalen.En: It was as if the sky itself was trying to shut down the polling station.Sv: Erik kunde känna en oro växa i rummet.En: Erik could feel a worry growing in the room.Sv: Vad skulle hända om strömmen gick?En: What would happen if the power went out?Sv: Mitt i kaoset satte sig Greta vid samma bord som Erik och Sofia.En: In the midst of the chaos, Greta sat down at the same table as Erik and Sofia.Sv: Greta var staden veteran, alltid med ett leende och ett skvaller på lager.En: Greta was the town's veteran, always with a smile and a bit of gossip at hand.Sv: "Har ni hört om den där strömavbrotten?"En: "Have you heard about that power outage?"Sv: frågade hon högt och drog allas uppmärksamhet.En: she asked loudly, drawing everyone's attention.Sv: Erik såg hur Sofia släppte ut ett litet skratt och böjde sig fram mot honom.En: Erik saw how Sofia let out a small laugh and leaned towards him.Sv: "Vi kan inte hindra snön, men vi kan i alla fall hålla humöret uppe, eller hur?"En: "We can't stop the snow, but at least we can keep our spirits up, right?"Sv: Erik nickade, kände sig plötsligt lättare till mods av hennes oberörda natur.En: Erik nodded, suddenly feeling lighter at ease by her unaffected nature.Sv: När ljusen började flimra, satte Sofia igång med att hänga upp några batteridrivna ljusslingor hon hade tagit med.En: When the lights started to flicker, Sofia began hanging up some battery-powered fairy lights she had brought along.Sv: Det skapade en nästan magisk atmosfär i den lilla lokalen.En: It created an almost magical atmosphere in the small place.Sv: Erik, inspirerad av hennes positivitet, hjälpte till att hälsa väljarna och erbjöd dem kaffe för att hålla värmen.En: Erik, inspired by her positivity, helped greet the voters and offered them coffee to stay warm.Sv: Trots stormens raseri lyckades de flesta ta sig till röstningen.En: Despite the storm's fury, most managed to get to the voting.Sv: De som vågade snöstormen möttes av en varm och välkomnande miljö, tack vare Erik och Sofias ansträngningar.En: Those who braved the snowstorm were met by a warm and welcoming environment, thanks to Erik and Sofia's efforts.Sv: Snart skrattade de båda tillsammans med de som dröjde sig kvar, alla höll modet uppe och firade ett lyckat val.En: Soon they were both laughing along with those who lingered, everyone kept their spirits high and celebrated a successful election.Sv: När dagen äntligen gick mot sitt slut och stormen började avta, exchange Erik och Sofia telefonnummer.En: As the day finally drew to a close and the storm began to fade, Erik and Sofia exchanged phone numbers.Sv: Ett tyst löfte om att deras vänskap skulle fördjupas efter detta.En: A silent promise that their friendship would deepen after this.Sv: Erik lämnade församlingshuset med ett leende och kände sig mer hemma i sin lilla stad än någonsin tidigare.En: Erik left the community center with a smile, feeling more at home in his small town than ever before.Sv: Han hade funnit både en ny vän och en ny styrka inom sig själv.En: He had found both a new friend and a new strength within himself.Sv: Sofia, å sin sida, hade fått en ny uppskattning för den tysta styrkan hos sina medmänniskor.En: Sofia, for her part, had gained a new appreciation for the quiet strength of her fellow people.Sv: Solen började sakta bryta igenom molnen och strålade svagt över det snötäckta landskapet.En: The sun slowly began to break through the clouds and shone faintly over the snow-covered landscape.Sv: Det var fortfarande vinter, men för Erik och Sofia innebar det en ny värme och gemenskap i deras hjärtan.En: It was still winter, but for Erik and Sofia, it meant a new warmth and camaraderie in their hearts.

En beslutning, jeg altid har undret mig over."En: "Years ago," he began, "there was a decision I made... A decision I've always wondered about."Da: Han fortalte hende om den aften, han havde ladet en chance glide forbi, en muligheden der føltes stor, men som han havde afvist af frygt og tvivl.En: He told her about the night he let an opportunity slip by, a chance that felt significant but which he had rejected due to fear and doubt.Da: Kærlighed, ambitioner og usikkerheder flettede sig sammen i hans fortælling, og sneen faldt fortsat omkring dem, næsten som om den lyttede med.En: Love, ambitions, and insecurities intertwined in his story, and the snow continued to fall around them, almost as if it were listening.Da: Da Mikkel afsluttede sin historie, var hans øjne fyldt med både lettelse og sorg.En: When Mikkel finished his story, his eyes were filled with both relief and sorrow.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, om jeg fortalte for meget," sagde han lavmælt.En: "I don't know if I said too much," he said softly.Da: "At dele denne historie kræver mod," sagde Freja stille.En: "Sharing this story takes courage," Freja said quietly.Da: "Og måske... måske er det ikke for sent at finde fred."En: "And maybe... maybe it's not too late to find peace."Da: Mikkel kiggede undrende på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her, puzzled.Da: "Hvordan?"En: "How?"Da: Freja smilede, hendes øjne venlige og opmuntrende.En: Freja smiled, her eyes kind and encouraging.Da: "Nogle gange er det ikke vores valg, der definerer os, men hvordan vi lever videre med dem.En: "Sometimes it's not our choices that define us, but how we move on from them.Da: Måske kan du se det som en lektion, der formede dig, ikke noget, der holdt dig tilbage."En: Maybe you can see it as a lesson that shaped you, not something that held you back."Da: Snefnug fortsatte med at dale ned på dem, og i det øjeblik indså Mikkel, at Freja havde ret.En: Snefnug continued to drift down upon them, and in that moment, Mikkel realized that Freja was right.Da: Ved at dele fortiden havde han taget et skridt fremad mod noget nyt og ukendt, men også befriende.En: By sharing the past, he had taken a step forward towards something new and unknown, but also liberating.Da: Mikkel kiggede over mod den tavse havfrue.En: Mikkel looked over at the silent mermaid.Da: "Tak, Freja," sagde han.En: "Thank you, Freja," he said.Da: "Måske kan jeg endelig finde fred nu."En: "Maybe I can finally find peace now."Da: De stod endnu lidt sammen ved statuen, mens sneen tavst skabte et roligt tæppe over byen, og Mikkel følte sig lettere, frigjort af ordene, han endelig havde fundet modet til at udtale.En: They stood a while longer by the statue, while the snow silently created a peaceful blanket over the city, and Mikkel felt lighter, freed by the words he had finally found the courage to speak.
