Approach,” edited by Drs. Melpo Christofidou-Solomidou and Thomas J.
Goodwin. From the Special Issue Information: “This Special
Issue of IJMS is dedicated to providing a comprehensive overview
of the identified risks [of long-duration space missions] and focus on
how oxidative stress specifically could impact major organ systems when
exposed to space-relevant conditions such
as cosmic/galactic radiation, solar particle events, hypogravity,
hyperoxia and hypoxia or a combination of stressors.” See

Erratum to: Mortality due to cardiovascular disease among Apollo lunar astronauts

Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2017 Nov;88(11):1055.

http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/asma/amhp/2017/00000088/00000011/art00015

Note:
From the Erratum: “In the May 2017 issue of Aerospace Medicine and
Human Performance
the authors reported the results of an investigation of cardiovascular
mortality among U.S. astronauts who either completed circumlunar flights
or landed on the lunar surface (“lunar astronauts”). We regret to
inform readers of AMHP that the standardized mortality
ratios comparing lunar astronauts to the U.S. general population
presented in Table III of the paper are incorrect. We present here a
corrected table using appropriate cause-specific mortality rates. The
discussion in the original article, in spite of the
error and in light of these corrected results, remains broadly
accurate, and the main conclusion in the original article is unchanged:
presently there is no credible evidence of increased cardiovascular
mortality among astronauts — lunar or otherwise. We apologize
for any inconvenience caused by this error.” The original article was
listed in SPACELINE Current Awareness List #745, April 21, 2017.
