What Kills Most People When They're Hiking Everest - Altitude Or the Cold?
Most deaths were attributable to trauma either from falls or hazards such as avalanches. The remaining 27 percent are the most interesting ones, attributed to non-trauma causes like altitude illness and hypothermia. When you restrict the data to the 94 people who died above 8,000 meters, some interesting details emerge. Even among those who fell to their deaths, many were described as showing signs of neurological dysfunction, such as confusion or loss of balance (indicative of altitude illness).

There was a significant amount of violent gang activity in Pittsburgh in the 90s, from 1991-95, but in the 80s it was not as bad as other cities of its size. The rise of gang violence is attributed to the crack-cocaine epidemic in the 90s. From 1996-99, it stabilized in Pittsburgh.

7. All Things Skin: What Comes Out of Your Pores, What Keeps Skin Looking Young, and Does Sweating Cleanse Your Pores
You actually have two different types of pores: oil pores and sweat pores. Oil pores are the ones connected to an oil gland (sebaceous gland). The oil that comes out of these glands, called sebum, helps keep the skin supple, moisturized, and healthy. You have oil pores over the entire surface of your entire skin, except for the skin on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. This type of pore gets the most attention as they are the ones that are large enough to be seen, and are usually the ones people are referencing when they talk about large or blocked pores. Sweat glands work basically the same way, except they are connected to a sweat gland (sudoriferous gland) instead of an oil gland. You also have sweat pores all over your entire skin, but unlike oil pores, sweat pores are really tiny and typically can't be seen with the naked eye.
Collagen is what keeps our skin from sagging, giving us that plump, youthful look. Collagen is a protein that serves as one of the main building blocks for your bones, skin, hair, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen production decreases with age, and things like UV light can also cause collagen to break down. This is one of the many reasons why it is so important to wear sunscreen when out in the sunlight. Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and other foods high in antioxidants can also prevent collagen breakdown and help prevent premature skin aging. Some other tips from dermatologists for keeping skin looking youthful include keeping the skin moisturized by both applying a daily moisturizer and drinking plenty of water and staying away from damaging activities like cigarettes and tanning beds.
There are just as many skin health benefits to sweating as there are whole-body health benefits if you follow the right skincare routine after sweating. Some skin benefits of sweating include added hydration from bringing moisture to the surface of the skin, and natural exfoliation from the salt and minerals in the sweat removing dead skin cells and preventing the buildup of other debris on the surface of the skin.So in a way, you can say sweating does clean your pores.

12. Timothy Leary LSD studies at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Nixon War On Drugs
Timothy Leary received his Ph.D. in psychology from Berkeley University, and came to lecture at Harvard in 1959. Shortly after Leary’s arrival at Harvard, he and Richard Alpert started the Harvard Psilocybin Project. Psilocybin is an entheogenic hallucinogen which naturally occurs in certain species of mushrooms. Leary and Alpert sought to document its effects on human consciousness by administering it to volunteer subjects and recording their real-time descriptions of the experience. At the time of Leary and Alpert’s research at Harvard, neither LSD nor psilocybin were illegal substances in the United States. After a couple of years working on the project, several faculty members expressed concerns about the project and how the experiments were being conducted. One of these concerns notably being that the researchers themselves were under the influence of psilocybin while they conducted their investigations, and the Harvard Crimson even accused Alpert and Leary of not merely researching psychotropic drugs but actively promoting their recreational use.
Both men avidly insisted on the scientific need for their work, and agreed to policies intended to protect their subjects, including a prohibition on participation by undergraduate students. Initially Leary and Alpert only used volunteer (if not fully informed) graduate students in their research. However, in the spring of 1963 Harvard was forced to dismiss Alpert after he administered psilocybin to an undergraduate student off-campus. Leary was also fired from the university, and the Harvard Psilocybin Project came to an abrupt end. In total, 167 subjects participated in the project. At the end of the study, 95% of the subjects declared that the psilocybin experience had "changed their lives for the better".
About a decade later, In June 1971, President Richard Nixon made his famous speech declaring a “war on drugs.” This led to a global campaign, led by the United States, of drug prohibition with the aim of reducing the illegal drug trade in the United States. The initiative includes a set of drug policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of psychoactive drugs that the participating governments and the United Nations have made illegal. The DEA, or Drug Enforcement Administration, was created In 1973, and there have since been mass imprisonment of domestic drug users.
The Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences department at Johns Hopkins University has since taken over psychedelics research, starting it up again in 2000 with the goal of exploring innovative treatments using psilocybin. Some notable developments in recent years include:
2014: ‘Magic Mushrooms' Help Longtime Smokers 'Quit. Read the news release here.
2016: Hallucinogenic Drug Psilocybin Eases Existential Anxiety in People With Life-Threatening Cancer. Read the news release here.
2022: Psilocybin Treatment for Major Depression Effective for Up to a Year for Most Patients, Study Shows. Read the news release here.

21. Which Athletes Get the Most Concussions?
In high school athletes: boys football, boys ice hockey, boys rugby, girls soccer, girls basketball. Concussion studies do not typically consider sports like boxing, MMA, horse riding/racing, skiing, skateboarding, and other sports and recreational activities that were not included or thoroughly sampled in these studies. The connection between concussion and CTE (which is not really a well established diagnosis and can only be made after death via autopsy) is not supported in the literature. Other factors such as psychiatric and substance abuse histories are relevant to consider as well.
22. Shooter From Tower Who Had Tumor In Frontal Lobe
Charles Whitman, 24, former Marine and student at UT Austin shot and killed 16 people in 1966 by climbing up to a clock tower on the UT Austin campus that lasted 85 minutes before police were able to shoot and kill him from a higher balcony. He had left a note saying he wanted his body autopsied to search for abnormalities that may have caused a deterioration in his mental health. While a tumor was found, experts disagreed on whether it influenced his behavior. He had been raised in a home with an abusive father. From an article in Scientific American: "The lesson is that human behavior is complex and a brain lesion is neither necessary nor sufficient for criminal behavior: after all, there are nearly 700,000 people living with brain tumors in the US and approximately 800,000 people have strokes every year, but the known cases leading to criminal behavior number in the dozens. Further research would be helpful in determining the likelihood that patients who suffer brain lesions in the ‘criminality-associated network’ actually go on to commit crimes, with the expectation that this kind of impairment will emerge as one of many factors increasing the risk of criminal behavior. The fact that violence can be a symptom of brain disease shows not that free will is an illusion, but that free will can be injured just like other human abilities. These rare cases of dysfunction allow us to see more clearly that our healthy brains endow us with remarkable capacities to imagine, reason, and act freely." From The Daily Texan: "Yes, he had an aggressive, malignant tumor in his temporal lobe that could have impacted his bizarre and violent behavior,” Keele said. “However, what is often overlooked is that he came from a very abusive home, and admitted to domestic violence with his own wife prior to stabbing her. I suspect his tumor was little more than ‘circumstantial.’"

24. The Master Cleanse
Master Cleanse (also called the lemonade diet or lemon detox diet) is a modified juice fast that permits no food, substituting tea and lemonade made with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The diet was developed by Stanley Burroughs, who initially marketed it in the 1940s, and revived it in his 1976 book The Master Cleanser. Proponents claim that the diet tones, reduces and cleanses the body, allowing the body to heal itself. There is no evidence that the diet removes any toxins or that it achieves anything beyond temporary weight loss, followed by rapidly regaining the lost weight.
