History of dental caries in Inuit populations: genetic implications and 'distance effect'
Int J Circumpolar Health. 2023 Dec;82(1):2252568. doi: 10.1080/22423982.2023.2252568.ABSTRACTDental caries is considered the third most important scourge in the world. In North America, Inuit populations are the population the most severely affected by dental caries. It is often assumed that this situation can be explained by a combination of factors classical for Indigenous populations: remoteness (geographical distance), low economic status and low health literacy (cultural distance). Using a bibliographic approach, we tested this hypothesis of the "distance effect" by exploring the caries prevalence in other Indigenous ...

Human performance and medical treatment during cold weather operations - synthesis of a symposium
Int J Circumpolar Health. 2023 Dec;82(1):2246666. doi: 10.1080/22423982.2023.2246666.ABSTRACTIn October 2022, the Human Factors and Medicine (HFM) panel of the NATO Science and Technology Organization convened a review of progress in military biomedical research for cold weather operations. This paper represents a summary of the research presentations and future directions. The importance of realistic training was an overarching theme. Many reported studies took advantage of cold weather training exercises to monitor soldiers' health and performance; these are valuable data, using winter exercises as a platform to gain fur...
