Clinical Trial: CHOICE KERGUELEN 2 : Consequences of Longterm Confinement on Immunity in the Sub-Antarctic Islands : Follow-up of Volunteers on the Kerguelen Islands

U.S., Dec. 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07275489) titled 'CHOICE KERGUELEN 2 : Consequences of Longterm Confinement on Immunity in the Sub-Antarctic Islands : Follow-up of Volunteers on the Kerguelen Islands' on Nov. 27.

Brief Summary: Living for long periods in extreme environments-like Antarctic research stations or space missions-can have a significant impact on human health, especially on the immune system. Scientists have observed that people in such isolated conditions often experience more infections and a reactivation of viruses that usually stay dormant in the body, such as Herpes viruses. These changes affect both parts of the immune system: the rapid-response "innate" system and...
