This article presents the hydroclimatic changes in the Tibetan Plateau, emphasizing the delicate balance between precipitation and evaporative demand in streamflow dynamics.

This article concludes that mainstream health interventions must move beyond Western-centric models to embrace Indigenous worldviews, traditions, and leadership. The success of the RWWAK program demonstrates that community-driven, culturally grounded approaches foster deeper engagement, meaningful health improvements, and healing from historical trauma. Adopting the Two-Eyed Seeing approach, which honors both Indigenous and Western knowledge systems, is essential for creating effective, sustainable health promotion strategies in Indigenous communities. Further efforts should focus on scaling and adapting such models, prioritizing Indigenous voices to ensure programs are authentic, holistic, and supportive of community well-being.

The article discusses the role of microglial activation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), highlighting its impact on neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunction. It explores the molecular mechanisms underlying microglial activation, potential therapeutic targets, and updates on clinical trials for drugs aimed at mitigating neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in AD.

As a result of anthropogenic climate change, an alteration in the air mixture has occurred over time. These changes have increased human exposures to respiratory irritants such as ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Regarding aeroallergens, studies have shown that elevated temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels have produced prolonged and more robust pollen seasons for most taxa studied.
