Estudio en doble ciego del efecto de la almitrina sobre los enfermos portadores de eritrocitosis - patológica de altura
(Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, 1987)
Resumen.
La eritrocitosis patológica de altura (EPA) es una afección caracterizada por una disminución importante de la sensibilidad a la hipoxia y a la hipercapnea que conduce a una hipoxemia con eritrocitosis excesiva ...
Otros criterios para una buena determinación de analitos en química sanguínea
(Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, 1987)
Resumen.
Los métodos espectrofotométricos siguen siendo de elección para la mayoría de los análisis químico-clínicos debido a que son relativamente específicos, simples y requieren equipo menos costoso y especializado ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 m) residents in the absence o lung disease
(Health & height proceeding, 2002)
Summary.
Chronic mountain sickness is present in about 8% of the male population of La Paz. Our question was whether its principal diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP) without lung disease could be found already ...
Maternal oxygen delivery is not related to altitude- and ancestry-associated differences in human fetal growth
(J Physiol, 2007-09-16)
Fetal growth is reduced at high altitude, but the decrease is less among long-resident populations.
We hypothesized that greater maternal uteroplacental O2 delivery would explain increased
fetal growth in Andean natives ...
Effect of high altitude on protein metabolism in Bolivian children
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-08-01)
Abstract.
In Bolivia, malnutrition in children is a major health problem that may be caused by inadequate protein, energy, and micronutrient intake; exposure to bacterial and parasitic infections; and ...
Chronic mountain sickness and cor pulmonale La Paz-Bolivia (3,600-4,100 m)
(Life on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau, 2007)
Summary.
Among the majority of inhabitants of La Paz-Bolivia (3,200-4,100 m.), the mild elevation seen in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) has no clinical significance and is reversible on descent to lower altitude or with ...
Excessive polycythemia occurs in young high-altitude (3600 M) residents in the absence of lung disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2002-04-18)
Objective: Chronic Mountain Sickness occurs in , 8% of the La Paz
population. We asked whether its primary diagnostic sign, excessive polycythemia (EP), occurred in youngeraged persons
without lung disease. Methods: ...
Where the O2 goes to : preservation of human fetal oxygen delivery and consumption at high altitude
(The Journal of Physiology, 2009)
Fetal growth is decreased at high altitude (> 2700 m). We hypothesized that variation in fetal O2
delivery might account for both the altitude effect and the relative preservation of fetal growth in
multigenerational ...
Augmented uterine artery blood flow and oxygen delivery protect andeans from altitude-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2009-02-20)
Abstract.
The effect of high altitude on reducing birth weight is markedly less in
populations of high- (e.g., Andeans) relative to low-altitude origin
(e.g., Europeans). Uterine artery (UA) blood flow is greater ...
Greater uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in multigenerational (Andean) than shorter-term (European) high-altitude residents
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007)
Multigenerational (Andean) compared with shorter-term (European) high-altitude
residents exhibit less hypoxia-associated reductions in birth
weight. Because differences in arterial O2 content are not responsible,
we ...
