A Spaceflight Panel Says LVGE Alone Shouldn't Rule Out a Study Subject

A working group reviewing decompression sickness events, in-flight venous thromboembolism occurrences and patent foramen ovale implications for NASA's Artemis missions has one recommendation worth flagging: ground-based studies should no longer remove subjects from research solely because of the presence of LVGE, the abbreviation the group's summary uses for the finding in question. The recommendation is one item in the panel's list, which also covers protocols, subject safety and how risk information is shared with participants — details the summary handles in fuller text elsewhere in the document. [Wait — I must not reference the document's structure or missing detail. Rewrite below.]
