Dr. Zamboni is working with international space agencies to understand how the venous system works in zero gravity. If rocket scientists trust Dr. Zamboni's venous diagnostics, shouldn't neurologists? Here's more from Italy:

To quantify cerebral venous return in extraordinary conditions (weightlessness) and to validate novel diagnostic tools which once applied in surgery will be very useful for people suffering from chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI, vein pathology discovered by Paolo Zamboni, University of Ferrara) and for cardiac patients.

BRAIN DRAIN is one of the scientific experiments, presented today in Rome at the headquarters of ASI, that the Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will carry out during the mission FUTURA of the Italian Space Agency on board the International Space Station (ISS). Cristoforetti will leave for the six month Mission on November 23 from Baykonur (Kazhakhstan) on board the Russian Soyuz shuttle.
