Does chronic mountain sickness (CMS) have perinatal origins?
(Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2007-06-29)
Abstract.
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) occurs in 10% of male high-altitude residents. It is characterized by hypoventilation and hypoxemia but its underlying cause remains unknown. We hypothesized that CMS' origins ...
Neonatal oxygenation, pulmonary hypertension, and evolutionary adaptation to high altitutde (2013 Grover Conference series)
(Pulm Circ, 2015-03)
Abstract.
Andeans and Tibetans have less altitude reduction in birth weight than do shorter-resident
groups, but only Tibetans are protected from pulmonary hypertension and chronic mountain sickness
(CMS). We hypothesized ...
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 ...
Determinants of blood oxygenation during pregnancy in Andean and Europeas residents of high altitude
(Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol, 2007-07-02)
High altitude decreases birth weight,
but this effect is diminished in long vs. short-resident, high-altitude
populations. We asked whether women from long vs. short-resident,
high-altitude populations had higher arterial ...
