Understanding SANS (Space Flight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome): evaluation of ocular change[]

Organisation/Company: Università degli Studi di Torino Research Field: Medical sciences Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2), Leading Researcher (R4), First Stage Researcher (R1), Established Researcher (R3) Country: Italy Application Deadline: 27 Jan 2025 - 13:00 (UTC) Type of Contract: To be defined Job Status: Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The pneumoperitoneum induced during laparoscopic surgery, associated with Trendelenburg position, reproduces the conditions of a terrestrial analogue for SANS (Space Flight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome). Aim of the study is to investigate the morphological and functional ocular changes that occur during laparoscopic surgery to improve knowledge regarding possible short-medium term effects of minimally invasive surgery on the visual and campimetric ability of patients. These data will also be used as terrestrial analogues for the development of mathematical and Artificial Intelligence models aimed at understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset of SANS, and the identification of possible predictive factors of SANS.
