FY19 Accomplishments: - sought to understand the mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits that are reported to affect non-native subjects following their prolonged stay and/or work at high altitude (HA). Found that exposure to hypobaric-hypoxia triggers maladaptive responses inducing cognitive deficits and suggests potential mechanisms underlying the adverse impacts of staying or traveling at high altitude. --Training in the WAVE requires large expenses of the environment to be modeled. We developed algorithms to automatically generate complex terrain and we have also developed algorithms that permit avatars to exhibit humanly plausible reactions to environmental stimuli. Stimuli regions of interest and danger. -- Analyzing both cross sectional and prospective data to evaluate acute and longer term health outcomes. As stated above, we are utilizing Cox Proportional Hazards Regressions to compare risk for various health outcomes between different exposure groups in our cohort of Coast Guard responders who were involved in the Deepwater Horizon response. We have been analyzing the long term health data from this study. Recently, we have focused mainly on the dermal and respiratory health systems.
