ABSTRACT Both climate change and its political mitigation and adaptation will exacerbate and expand existing social risks, adding extra stress on welfare systems. This could lead to distributional struggles and a public reassessment of social justice and deservingness principles.

ABSTRACT Background Dengue vector control plays an important role in reducing the burden of dengue infection. Conventional meta‐analysis can only include interventions that can be directly compared. Hence, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of all interventions for dengue vector control directly and indirectly through a multilevel Bayesian ...

Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Influence of facial cooling on carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity
Abstract Facial cooling can increase ventilation and augment the hypoxic ventilatory response. Whole body cooling increases both carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity; however, whether isolated facial cooling induces similar carotid body hyperexcitability was unknown.

Acute mountain sickness: pathophysiology and prevention [PDF]
This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Key mechanisms including changes in blood-brain barrier permeability, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the role ...

Abstract High‐altitude hypoxia elicits several profound physiological responses, including substantial increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA); however, the association of this heightened MSNA with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular haemodynamics remains unclear in lowlanders and indigenous highlander populations.

BREATH: an Innovative Technique to Treat Acute Mountain Sickness
The paper provides evidence of a new technique "BREATH" and a protocol for treatment - and probably prevention - of acute mountain sickness (AMS). AMS is a well-known problem for many mountaineers.

Abstract Acute heat stress reduces cerebral haemodynamics and orthostatic tolerance. However, the haemodynamic response to orthostasis during prolonged heat stress typical of heatwaves is unknown. We hypothesised that thermoregulatory‐induced elevations in peripheral haemodynamics during 3 days of simulated heatwave would exacerbate orthostatic‐induced

Abstract Sympathetic nervous system activation is a hallmark of high‐altitude hypoxia, yet the afferent mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We examined the relative contributions of pulmonary arterial mechanoreceptors and carotid chemoreceptors – two excitatory pathways co‐activated by hypoxia – to sustained sympathoexcitation at altitude.
