Hypoxemia (systemic oxygen desaturation) marks the presence, risk, and progression of
many diseases. Episodic or nocturnal hypoxemia can be challenging to detect and quantify …

Purpose The goal of this meta-analysis was to determine the clinical utility of acute mountain
sickness (AMS) history to predict future incidents of AMS. Method 17 studies (n= 7921 …

Objectives: Describe how to prevent altitude sickness by modifying the rate of ascent.
Describe how to use acetazolamide for both prophylaxis and treatment of acute mountain …

Purpose: Hypoxia is known to reduce maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max) more in trained
than in untrained subjects in several lowland sports. Ski mountaineering is practiced mainly …

The present study is the first to examine the effect of high-altitude acclimatization and
reexposure on the responses of cerebral blood flow and ventilation to CO2. We also …

Hypobaric hypoxic brain injury results in elevated peripheral S100B levels which may relate
to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. A period of acclimatisation or dexamethasone …

Background Few data are available on the incidence and predictors of serious altitude
illness in travelers who visit pre‐travel clinics. Travel health consultants advise on measures …

Objective The purposes of this experiment were to determine the repeatability of acute
mountain sickness (AMS), AMS symptoms, and physiological responses across 2 identical …

INTRODUCTION: It has been demonstrated that the cerebrovascular response to hypoxia is
blunted following 10 d of intermittent hypoxia (IH) in healthy humans. The purpose of this …

Haematological responses throughout 4 w of initial acclimation (IA) and three paradigms of
re-acclimation (RA) to hypoxia (FI O 2= 0.12) were examined in female mice. We …
