Abstract: This issue of the Korean Journal of Aerospace and Environmental Medicine (KJASEM) (Vol. 35, No. 3) presents five studies that expand our understanding of aviation safety, space health, and human factors. An original bibliometric analysis of 120 articles tracks thematic shifts in KJASEM, showing the rise and fall of COVID-19 research alongside sustained focus on pilot health and safety. A review on crew resource management (CRM) synthesizes ten years of evidence that CRM fosters safety culture and effective cockpit–cabin collaboration. A review on long-duration spaceflight medicine outlines physiological and psychological risks—bone loss, neuro-ocular syndrome, radiationinjury—and evaluates countermeasures critical for Mars missions. A review of stress factors in aviation human factors integrates evidence on fatigue, emotional labor, and role ambiguity, linking them to both safety outcomes and service quality. Finally, a case report on Alzheimer’s disease in a senior airline captain highlights the aeromedical importance of detecting mild cognitive impairment for flight safety.
