KESWICK, VA, August 31, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- William J. Rowe, MD, FBIS (Fellow British Interplanetary Society), FACN (Fellow American College of Nutrition), has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on basis of current reference values. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and performance in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Certified through the American Board of Internal Medicine, Dr. Rowe was in private practice for nearly 35 years, during which time he published in LANCET that extraordinary unremitting endurance exercise can injure a perfectly normal heart; this was based on his studies of Sy Mah, holder of The Guinness Book of Records for having completed 524 marathons. This triggered a 25 year pursuit regarding the cardiovascular complications of space flight, beginning with an hypothesis pertaining to potential permanent injury to a normal heart from interplanetary travel, published in Acta Astronautica. His subsequent publications and world-wide presentations are inserted on his website: (www.femsinspace.com).

Of only 4 published space-related syndromes, he published 2: the "Apollo 15 Space Syndrome"
and the "Neil Armstrong Syndrome"; the latter followed his publication that Neil Armstrong developed probable acute heart failure on the moon. He was also the first to show that "correcting magnesium deficiencies may prolong life." The latter in 2012, was placed by Global Medical Discovery in the top 20 of 20,000 peer-reviewed science and medical publications.
