Swiss Helicopter exceeded permitted flight limits in the Bernese Oberland, according to counts by local residents.

For 2025, residents counted about 5,000 extra helicopter movements, while company chief Christoph Schmid put the excess at about 3,000.

The company’s flights serve a range of needs, including supplying mountain huts, carrying materials to remote work sites, tourism and pilot training.

Yale researchers found that lacosamide may help treat osteoarthritis, a condition in which joint cartilage wears away.

Current treatments can ease pain, but do not repair the cartilage; severe cases may require joint replacement surgery.

In tests using mice and human cartilage cells in the lab, lacosamide slowed cartilage damage, encouraged repair and reduced pain.

The drug blocks Nav1.7, a protein involved in pain signals and the balance between cartilage breakdown and repair.
