Space medicine
In my recent researches I ran across a (US) National Academy of Science Institute of Medicine report on space medicine, specifically as it addresses the safety of astronauts travelling, working and living in space:

Safe Passage: Astronaut Care for Exploration Missions

It's a bit unweildy, effectively having been mounted on the web as single-page PDFs, and it's 300 pages long, but in that form it is free (there is a charge for the complete PDF). And I'm more able to tackle that than the news article about the report on Space.com. The first screen is squeezed down to about a quarter of the window-width by an orange and black FLASHING ad. Ugh. Impossible to concentrate on the words. And they didn't provide a link to the source document.
