Category Scope
52 Aerospace Medicine
Includes the biological and physiological effects of atmospheric
and space flight (weightlessness, space radiation, acceleration, and
altitude stress) on the human being; and the prevention of adverse effects
of those environments. For psychological and behavioral effects of aerospace
environments see 53 Behavioral Science. For the effects of space on animals
and plants see 51 Life Sciences.
Definition
Aerospace Medicine – That branch of medicine
dealing with the studies and effects of flight through the atmosphere
or in space upon the human body and with the prevention or cure of physiological
or psychological malfunctions arising from these effects. NASA Thesaurus,

of Technical Terms for Aerospace Use. Wm. H. Allen, ed., 1965. NASA

NASA Interest
Exhaustive Interest : All general biological
and physiological studies and effects of atmospheric and space flight
on the human being.
Selective Interest : Stress, physiological,
and radiation effects of conventional medicine on the human being with
direct application to aerospace flight and environments.
Negative Interest : Medicine, pharmacology,
and radiation effects of conventional medicine and biology with no aerospace
applications.
