Space medicine deals with the branch of research involved with the adaptation of humans to the unique environment of space. More than 100 people have traveled in space. The day will come when some human beings will spend all their time in space. Medical problems encountered in space, such as motion sickness, negative nitrogen and calcium balance, anemia and radiation exposure, are issues that already affect medical practice outside aerospace medicine.
太空医学研究人类如何适应太空独特环境这一分支领域。已有100多人进入过太空。未来会有一天,一些人将长期生活在太空。太空环境中出现的医学问题,如晕动病、负氮平衡和负钙平衡、贫血以及辐射暴露,这些问题在航天医学之外的医疗实践中也已存在。
