Abstract
- This issue features six papers in aerospace medicine and safety, including four original articles and two reviews, focusing on pilot health, safety management, aerospace education, cardiovascular research in space, and artificial intelligence (AI) guidelines in aviation safety. Two studies analyze aviation medical examinations, highlighting rising pilot disqualification rates primarily due to neurological, cancer-related, and mental health disorders, emphasizing the need for targeted health management strategies. Another paper proposes enhancing the Line Operations Safety Audit methodology to systematically capture positive crew behaviors, competencies, and proactive threat management. A research article explores relationships between selfefficacy, team-member exchange, and academic performance in aviation service students, recommending customized training programs. Additionally, a review discusses cardiovascular therapeutics using microgravity and cosmic radiation environments, revealing potential terrestrial applications for cardiac regeneration and drug development. Finally, guidelines for AI development in aviation safety stress reliable governance, ethics, and transparency. Future research expanding practical implementation and deepening interdisciplinary collaboration in aerospace medicine and safety is anticipated.
