“…GMA has been observed to be positively associated with arterial blood pressure [6], some blood coagulation parameters [7], the marker of inflammation, C-reactive protein level [8], and it is negatively associated with heart rate variability [1,9] and melatonin concentration [10]. It has been indicated that low GMA was associated with an increase in electrical heart instability [11,12]. These effects of GMA have been explained by the effects of the magnetic field on ions and protons in the human body [2,[13][14][15].…”

The aim of our study was to detect the possible association between daily numbers of ischemic strokes (ISs) and hemorrhagic strokes (HSs) and space weather events. The daily numbers of ISs, subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs), and intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) were obtained from Kaunas Stroke Register during the period of 1986 to 2010. We used time- and season-stratified multivariate Poisson regression. We analyzed data of 597 patients with SAH, 1147 patients with ICH, and 7482 patients with IS. Strong/severe geomagnetic storms (GSs) were associated with an increase in the risk of SAH (by 58%) and HS (by 30%). Only GSs occurring during 6:00–12:00 UT were associated with the risk of IS. Low geomagnetic activity (GMA) was associated with the risk of ICH, HS, and IS (Rate Ratios with 95% CI were 2.51 (1.50–4.21), 2.33 (1.50–3.61), and 1.36 (1.03–1.81), respectively). The days of ≥ X9 class solar flare (SF) were associated with a 39% higher risk of IS. The risk of HS occurrence was greater than two times higher on the day after the maximum of a strong/severe solar proton event (SPE). These results showed that GSs, very low GMA, and stronger SFs and SPEs may be associated with an increased risk of different subtypes of stroke.

“…On Earth, biological systems are also subject to the naturally varying geomagnetic field (GMF) (Dubrov, 1978). This variation in geomagnetic disturbance has been shown to impact not only animal behavior (Beischer, 1971;Zamoshchina et al, 2012), but also medically relevant phenomena such as ciliary motion (Sandoze, Svanidze, & Didimova, 1995), stem cell function (Mo, Liu, Bartlett, & He, 2014), cardiovascular regulation (Cornelissen et al, 2001;Feigin et al, 2014;Gmitrov & Gmitrova, 2004;Stoupel, 2006;Stoupel et al, 2014), the autonomic nervous system (Baevsky, Petrov, & Chernikova, 1998), memory (Wang, Xu, Li, Li, & Jiang, 2003;Xiao, Wang, Xu, Jiang, & Li, 2009;Zhang et al, 2004), and the interactions between neurons (Shibib, Brock, & Gosztony, 1987). Magnetic field reversals may even have placed selective pressures on organisms that have contributed to subsequent extinction (Hays, 1971;Plotnick, 1980) and morphological change (Harrison & Funnel, 1964), and planaria have specifically been shown to be sensitive to weak magnetic fields (Brown, 1962b.…”

Planarian regeneration in space: Persistent anatomical, behavioral, and bacteriological changes induced by space travel

et al. 2017

Regeneration is regulated not only by chemical signals but also by physical processes, such as bioelectric gradients. How these may change in the absence of the normal gravitational and geomagnetic fields is largely unknown. Planarian flatworms were moved to the International Space Station for 5 weeks, immediately after removing their heads and tails. A control group in spring water remained on Earth. No manipulation of the planaria occurred while they were in orbit, and space‐exposed worms were returned to our laboratory for analysis. One animal out of 15 regenerated into a double‐headed phenotype—normally an extremely rare event. Remarkably, amputating this double‐headed worm again, in plain water, resulted again in the double‐headed phenotype. Moreover, even when tested 20 months after return to Earth, the space‐exposed worms displayed significant quantitative differences in behavior and microbiome composition. These observations may have implications for human and animal space travelers, but could also elucidate how microgravity and hypomagnetic environments could be used to trigger desired morphological, neurological, physiological, and bacteriomic changes for various regenerative and bioengineering applications.

Association of Time of Occurrence of Electrical Heart Storms with Environmental Physical Activity

Abstract: These data extend earlier findings on the association of the timing of cardiac events and space weather parameters to the most dangerous form of cardiac arrhythmia-electric storms. Further studies are needed to delineate the pathogenetic mechanism underlying this association.
