A number of indigenous populations have resided at high-altitude for generations, resulting in various phenotypical adaptations promoting successful high-altitude adaptation. While many of these adaptations have been investigated in adults, little is known regarding how children residing at high-altitudes adapt, particularly with regards to the cerebrovasculature. Under hypoxic environments, compensatory changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) are necessary to couple oxygen delivery to metabolic demand in the face of reduced oxygen availability.

Methods: Multiple databases were searched for studies comparing TAVR with or without CEPS and that reported on the primary outcome of periprocedural stroke.
This study aimed to assess the relationship between menstruation-related attributes and mental distress in adolescent girls. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Rangeli Municipality, Nepal, among 270 adolescent girls. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.

- - A healthy ecosystem requires a balanced relationship between carnivores and their prey, which this study explores through the predator-prey power law equation in Nepal's lowland protected areas.
- - The study found that predator biomass density increases about three times for every five times the increase in prey biomass density, creating a lopsided biomass pyramid that supports the idea of predator reliance on prey.
- - By examining competition between predators, the research suggests that maintaining the power law exponent can help scientists better understand the growth patterns in ecological communities, leading to new research opportunities.
