Editorial for Vol. 32, No. 3
Abstract : In Vol. 32, No. 3, our journal prepared 1 original article, 2 review articles, and 1 brief report. Space science need to be considered not only from the point of intellectual curiosity, but also from the profit. Space medicine is one of the core of national competitiveness, and gravity and cosmic radiation are major research areas in this field. The aftereffects of corona virus infection can affect aviation safety. An evaluation of this is essential before returning to the workplace. The first International Conference of Aerospace medicine 2022 was held in Paris. Various topics were discussed in depth. In particular, the inequality of corona virus vaccines supply, the application of digital health to tracking infected people, and the development of corona virus infection prediction algorithms were impressive. Japan and South Korea were compared for the current status of Zika virus. This difference appears to be mainly due to preferred travel destinations and their climates.

Space Environment and Space Medicine
Abstract : The space environment is a harsh space for humans who have evolved for a long time by adapting to the earth environment. The cosmic conditions that humans experience in outer space including the moon and Mars, such as altered gravity, exposure to cosmic radiation, changes in atmospheric pressure, and lunar dust, not only make the human body uncomfortable but also threaten survival. Space medicine is one of a field of environmental medicine that aims to clarify the physiology and response of body to these harmful space conditions. The primary purpose of space medicine is to protect the health and life of astronauts, and to support mission performance to succeed in space exploration. In addition, it contributes to mankind by utilizing and industrializing the knowledge and technology acquired in the process of developing knowledge about medical countermeasures, basic life support in the space.

코로나바이러스감염증-19 후유증과 항공안전
Long COVID and Aviation Safety
Abstract : Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, COVID-19 has spread and had a profound effect on the lives and health of people around the globe. Most people who develop COVID-19 fully recover, but current evidence suggests approximately 10% to 20% of people experience a variety of mid- and long-term effects after they recover from their initial illness. These mid- and long-term effects are collectively known as post covid-19 condition or “long COVID”. Studies have shown that a significant number of patients complain of multiple symptoms over a period of several months or longer. The symptoms of long covid include fatigue or muscle weakness, dyspnea, cognitive impairment, and depression or anxiety. These chronic symptoms can also negatively affect aviation safety. Therefore, this review summarizes studies of the long-term effects of COVID-19, and aeromedical implications of long COVID.

Epidemiological Aspects of Zika Virus Infection Cases among Overseas Travelers in Korea and Japan
Abstract : Purpose: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a mosquito-borne Flavivirus disease. we investigated the epidemiological aspects and status of imported ZIKV infection cases in Korea (Republic of) and Japan during 2016–2020. Methods: Raw data of ZIKV infection cases from the Korea Diseases Control and Prevention Agency, and the National Institute of infectious Diseases in Japan, 2016–2020. Results: There were 33 cases of ZIKV infection in Korea and 21 cases in Japan between 2016 and 2020. Cumulative incidence rate per 1,000,000 overseas travelers (OTs) of Korea (0.30) did not substantially differ that of Japan (0.27), respectively. We observed the ZIKV infected cases of male (69.7% of total cases) were much more than that for female (30.3%) in OTs of Korea (P
