The absolute reliance of the mammalian brain on oxygen to generate ATP renders it acutely
vulnerable to hypoxia, whether at high altitude or in clinical settings of anemia or pulmonary …

Globally, about 400 million people reside at terrestrial altitudes above 1500 m, and more
than 100 million lowlanders visit mountainous areas above 2500 m annually. The …

High-altitude (HA) exposure affects cognitive functions, but studies have found inconsistent
results. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effects of HA exposure on …

Oxygen (O2) is essential for human life. Molecular oxygen is vital for the production of
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in human cells. O2 deficiency leads to a reduction in the …

Many studies have indicated a strong relationship between cardiac and brain activities, both
of which are sensitive to high-altitude exposure. This study combined a consciousness …

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to
climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and …

Environmental hypoxic hazard has increasingly become a global public health issue, with
impelling evidences supporting the relation between hypoxia and cognitive disorders. As a …

The psychological effects of long-term exposure to high-altitude environments have attracted
great attention. These effects are usually attributed to the diminished cognitive resources …

Counter-terrorism (CT) operations may involve intelligence-gathering, reconnaissance,
surveillance, or direct action (eg arrest) to disrupt terrorist activities, and can take place in …

High altitude sojourn is broadly associated with impaired cognitive function, although there
are inconsistencies within the literature. Incorporation of mathematical modeling to gain …
