Do acute mountain sickness and psychiatric disorders show overlapping symptoms?
Current Issues in Sport ScienceThe 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 ...

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2025.Our study contributes to a frontier stage in scientific studies on the precise epigenetic mechanisms regulating phenotypic plasticity in humans in response to heat stress for complex traits like linear growth. We present evidence of an indirect effect (through DNA methylation) of heat exposure in utero on later childhood differences through one ...

Perceptions of nature and its non‐material contributions to people at Mount Kilimanjaro
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1697-1712, July 2025.Abstract Non‐material Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), such as spirituality and aesthetic enjoyment, arise from interactions between people and entities of nature. However, their intangible and context‐specific nature makes them challenging to identify and quantify.
