Do acute mountain sickness and psychiatric disorders show overlapping symptoms?

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Sport Science
The Lake Louise Score (LLS) is a common tool for diagnosing acute mountain sickness (AMS) after a recent gain in altitude. Required symptoms (headache, dizziness, fatigue or gastrointestinal symptoms) are unspecific, subjective and not detectable by ...

Endocrine and androgenic response to altitude training in professional cyclists

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Steroidal and endocrine variables are altered during altitude training. Abstract This study investigated endocrine and steroidal blood markers in 31 male elite cyclists monitored over 7 weeks, including a 3 week altitude training camp either at 2050 m (n = 19) or 3000 m (n = 12).

Augmenting erythropoiesis using recombinant human erythropoietin at sea level blunts the high altitude induced increase in erythropoiesis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pharmacologically augmenting erythropoiesis with rEPO at sea level blunts the high altitude induced erythropoiesis. Abstract Erythropoiesis increases with high altitude (HA) acclimatization. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rEPO) induces erythropoiesis.

Insights from animal models: Dissecting the independent roles of oxygen and nutrients in the fetal origins of cardiovascular disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This review utilized animal models of complicated human pregnancies that result in reduced fetal nutrient or oxygen delivery, or combined nutrient and oxygen delivery, to elucidate their independent and/or synergistic contributions to the development of high‐risk cardiac phenotypes.

Elevational variation in heart mass and suppression of hypoxia‐induced right ventricle hypertrophy in Andean leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis)

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In lowland mammals that ascend to high elevation, hypoxia‐induced changes in the pulmonary circulation can give rise to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and associated right‐ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Andean mice with broad elevational ranges have greater heart mass relative to body size at higher elevations, but they ...

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of abattoir workers about Taenia solium cysticercosis in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa

open access: yesNatural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract The tapeworm, Taenia solium, is the cause of cysticercosis, a neglected zoonotic disease that poses a significant global threat to animal and public health. Data were collected between May and June 2024 using a structured, interviewer‐administered questionnaire (n = 152) comprising demographic items and sections on knowledge, attitudes, and ...

Family History and Solar Insolation in Bipolar I Disorder

open access: yesActa Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 153, Issue 4, Page 270-278, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sunlight has profound impacts on physical and mental health, beyond vision, including effects on circadian rhythms, alertness, mood, and sleep. A family history of any mood disorders is strongly associated with psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder.
