Proposed mechanism for reduced jugular vein flow in microgravity

Proposed mechanism for reduced jugular vein flow in microgravity

Abstract Internal jugular flow is reduced in space compared with supine values, which can be associated with internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis. The mechanism is unknown but important to understand to prevent potentially serious vein thromboses on long duration flights. We used a novel, microgra...
