Differential splenic responses to hyperoxic breathing at high altitude in Sherpa and lowlanders

Experimental Physiology
The human spleen contracts in response to stress‐induced catecholamine secretion, resulting in a temporary rise in haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]). Recent findings highlighted enhanced splenic response to exercise at high altitude in Sherpa, possibly ...

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Downregulation of EPAS1 and EGLN1 mRNA Expression Associated With High‐Altitude Adaptive Genetic Variants in Sherpa Highlanders

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 ...

Can we predict functional decline in hospitalized older people admitted through the emergency department? Reanalysis of a predictive tool ten years after its conception

BMC Geriatrics, 2017
Background In the Emergency Department (ED), early and rapid identification of older people at risk of adverse outcomes, who could best benefit from complex geriatric intervention, would avoid wasting time, especially in terms of prevention of adverse ...
