Extreme, expedition, and wilderness medicine are modern and rapidly evolving specialties that address the spirit of adventure and exploration. The relevance of and interest in these specialties are changing rapidly to match the underlying activities, which include global exploration, adventure travel, and military deployments. Extreme, expedition, and wilderness medicine share themes of providing best available medical care in the outdoors, especially in austere or remote settings. Early clinical and logistics decision making can often have important effects on subsequent outcomes. There are lessons to be learned from out-of-hospital care, military medicine, humanitarian medicine, and disaster medicine that can inform in-hospital medicine, and vice-versa. The future of extreme, expedition, and wilderness medicine will be defined by both recipients and practitioners, and empirical observations will be transformed by evidence-based practice.

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive, non-motile with no flagella and irregularly rod-shaped, denominated strain YIM 134122, was isolated from a Stereocaulon tomentosum Fr. lichen gathered on Baima Snow Mountain in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The novel strain grew at pH 6.

Extreme cold events, becoming more frequent, affect plant growth and development. Much is known about C-repeat binding transcription factor (CBF)-dependent cold-signaling pathways in plants. However, the CBF-independent regulatory pathway in angiosperms is unclear, and the cold-signaling pathways in non-angiosperms lacking CBFs, such as the extremely cold-tolerant desert moss Syntrichia caninervis, are largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Geophysical mass flows in mountain regions pose risks to health and safety, but the dynamics of granular flow, especially involving different grain types, remain poorly understood.
- This study examined how small spherical grains, such as glass beads, affect the movement of larger stones in mixed granular flows made up of materials like quartz gravel and angular stone.
- Findings showed that while small spherical grains generally decrease certain deposition distances for larger stones, they also increase the likelihood of extreme motion, suggesting a complex interaction that enhances mobility in granular mixtures.

The genus is extremely rare and is the subject of limited research and reports. It currently comprises only two species, and , which differ from other globose algae due to their unique centrally radiating chloroplasts. In this study, we describe a new specimen in detail based on morphological data and phylogenetic analysis and identify it as .
