Did you already read the NASA medical checklist?
Well, quite obviously, I haven't, but then again, I was asking about the long term medical facility available to them, for example, how do we do a blood work, a Lumbar Puncture, etc. when they need to be done? You see the most a person has been on space was just a little bit over a year, not nearly long enough for a serious disease to develop.
I'm more curious about the long term effects on a woman's ability to conceive/sustain a pregnancy in zero g. (sorry too many friends have given birth this week)
Would being in zero g have any effect? Would the eggs even make it out of the fallopian tubes?
And another question - would people who have pain caused by adhesions have a better quality of life in 0g or not?
The ability to conceive and gestate won't be affected by 0G, just as Urwumpe has said, they are all processes which is not affected by the G factor, just as much of the factors that works in our body, for example the gastrointestinal system.
But then again, research in mice have shown that 0G can have effect on the offspring. They brought mice over there to the ISS, and made them pregnant (it is obvious that the mice would have some trouble doing it themselves ;p) And they then brought it home, and the mice that resulted from the space breeding have spatial disorientation, they found out that because of the weightlessness, the semicircular canals of the foetus never developed properly. This is caused by the otolith have never interacted the hair cells in a meaningful way causing them to lose the ability to tell up from down, and other equilibrium function that SCC has.
About adhesive pain, I'll use the example of a burn injury patient here. Because of the lack of the skin to protect the nerve endings, they are all sending signals like crazy when they touch a surface and given pressure, that's why the bubble bed thingy was invented, to support them on the bed with as little pressure as possible. With weightlessness of course the pain will subdue significantly, since no pressure are being applied at all. There's also unique opportunity that is given by 0G environment, perhaps we can even immerse burn injury patients in special solutions which will wrap them like bubbles because of the lack of gravity, freeing them at least partially from the IV line because of reduced loss of fluid and give them more insulation? Well this is my own speculation of course
G-force will not have any effect on the pregnant woman herself, and with limited G just as you said perhaps they can sustain re-entry. But I seriously doubt the capability of any near-term pregnant woman to sustain very high G-force, for the obvious reasons. And yes, children who have pretty much the same bone composition as normal ones should be able to, as you have shown a roller-coaster I will use it as an example, if children are able to cope with their Gs, there's no reason why they can't sustain the G-force of reentry.
