Do acute mountain sickness and psychiatric disorders show overlapping symptoms?
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 ...

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 ...

Analysis of the individual risk of altitude decompression sickness under repeated exposures [PDF]
In a case-control study, researchers examined the risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in individual subjects with higher number of exposures. Of the 126 subjects, 42 showed one or more episodes of DCS.

Two hundred fifty‐three adults were enrolled in a cross‐sectional study conducted in Northern Sudan. The RVs of hemoglobin 9.71–16.10 g/dL, red blood cells (RBC) 3.66–5.79 × 106/mm3, hematocrit (HCT) 28.02%–46.75%, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) 64.02–95.65 fL, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) 21.57–33.80 pg, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration ...

Perceptions of nature and its non‐material contributions to people at Mount Kilimanjaro
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.

A review of the influence of physical condition parameters on a typical aerospace stress effect: Decompression sickness [PDF]
The study examines data on episodes of decompression sickness, particularly from recent Navy work in which the event occurred under multiple stress conditions, to determine the extent to which decompression sickness might be predicted on the basis of ...
