Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sherpa highlanders exhibit remarkable tolerance to hypoxia, most likely due to genetic adaptations shaped by natural selection at high altitude. This study examined the roles of endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1) and egl‐9 family hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (EGLN1) in the genetic mechanisms underlying this adaptation ...

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.This review elucidates the intricate cellular signalling networks involved in high‐altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH), integrating canonical pathways like HIF, MAPK and BMP with emerging targets such as Wnt/β‐catenin, Notch, Hippo‐YAP and IL‐6. It highlights potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways to mitigate vascular remodelling ...

Neuroimaging features of fatal high-altitude cerebral edema
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2018 Acute high-altitude cerebral edema can occur in an unacclimatised individual on exposure to high altitudes and sometimes it can be fatal. Here we have described the neuroimaging features of a patient who suffered from fatal high altitude cerebral edema ...

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq
Early Medieval Europe, EarlyView.In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.

High-altitude headache and acute mountain sickness
Neurología (English Edition), 2014 Introduction: Headache is the most common complication associated with exposure to high altitude, and can appear as an isolated high-altitude headache (HAH) or in conjunction with acute mountain sickness (AMS).

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.Short Abstract Industrialisation has reshaped European rural areas, leading to both depopulation and, in some cases, lifestyle‐driven repopulation. Our research highlights supply‐side barriers to Alpine repopulation by unpacking the impossibilities of vacant farmhouses revitalisation. Both land transfer traditions ingrained over generation (micro‐level
