Foehn wind Eiger, for whom the winds add further difficulty in ascending an already difficult peak. They are also associated with the rapid spread of wildfires, making some regions which experience these winds particularly fire-prone. Anecdotally, residents in areas of frequent foehn winds report a variety of illnesses ranging from migraines to psychosis. The first clinical review of these effects was published by the Austrian physician Anton Czermak in the 19th century. A study by the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München found that suicide and accidents increased by 10 percent during foehn winds in Central Europe. The causation of "Föhnkrankheit" (English: Foehn-sickness) is yet unproven.
Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I Atelosteogenesis type I is a rare autosomal dominant condition. This condition is evident at birth and is associated with a very poor prognosis for the baby. It may be diagnosed antenatally. This condition is caused by mutations in the filamin B (FLNB) gene. This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p14). Filamin B forms part of the actin cytoskeleton. How these mutations produce the clinical picture is not yet clear. This is a rare condition with a prevalence of < 1/10. The total number of cases reported to date is <20. Clinical features
