Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

What anabolic–androgenic steroids reveal about the limits of current harm reduction models
Abstract Background Harm reduction has largely been shaped by responses to psychoactive drug use where the most urgent harms are acute. These models focus on overdose, blood‐borne viruses, and rapid‐onset toxicity related harms. When applied wholesale to anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), they obscure the distinctive pharmacology, consumer typologies,

Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia: A Nationwide Population-Based Study on Treatment Patterns, Vascular Complications and Survival. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are associated with a well‐recognized increased risk of thrombotic events, bleeding, and all‐cause mortality, but the frequency of these outcomes during treatment has rarely been assessed in large cohorts.

Macrophages support pathological erythropoiesis in Polycythemia Vera and Beta-Thalassemia [PDF]
Regulation of erythropoiesis is achieved by integration of distinct signals. Among these, macrophages are emerging as erythropoietin-complementary regulators of erythroid development, particularly under stress conditions. We investigated the contribution

Testosterone Versus Clomiphene Treatment of Hypogonadism: A Retrospective Analysis in US Veterans
ABSTRACT Background Male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is a complex condition with a multifactorial etiology. Although testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is the only approved treatment for male hypogonadism, clomiphene citrate (CC) is often used as an off‐label treatment.

Polycythemia at Moderate Altitude: Rethinking Screening for Polycythemia Vera
BACKGROUND: Polycythemia is a clinical condition characterized by increased red blood cell mass (RCM). With the aim to increase the sensitivity of capturing patients with polycythemia vera (PV), the hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) thresholds were ...

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]
Inflammation and autophagy have emerged as prominent issues in the context of proteoglycan signaling. In particular, two small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, play pivotal roles in the regulation of these vital cellular pathways and ...

Polycythemia in Nephrotic Syndrome
The association of polycythemia with kidney diseases such as adult polycystic kidney disease, kidney tumors, and renal artery stenosis is well known. However, polycythemia associated with nephrotic syndrome (NS) is rarely seen and documented.
