Increased incidence of preeclampsia lowers birth weight and increases intrauterine mortality at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001)
The relationship between perinatl hypoxia and sleep-disordered breathing in preclinical chronic mountain sickness
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Chronic intermittent hypoxia due to sleepdisordered breathing is implicated as a potential etiological
factor for chronic mountain sickness (CMS). Whether sleepdisordered breathing precedes or results from ...
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 ...
Chronic mountain sickness, optimal hemoglobin and heart disease
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2006-06)
Abstract.
For the male inhabitants of La Paz, Bolivia
(3200–4100 m), and other high altitude regions in America and Asia, chronic mountain sickness
(CMS) is a major health problem. Since CMS was first described by Carlos ...
A genomewide admixture mapping panel for hispanic/latino populations
(The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2007-06)
Admixture mapping (AM) is a promising method for the identification of genetic risk factors for complex traits and
diseases showing prevalence differences among populations. Efficient application of this method requires the ...
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 ...
Intrauterine growth restriction, preeclampsia, and intrauterine mortality at high altitude in Bolivia
(PEDIATRIC RESEARCH, 2003-02-18)
Abstract.
Infant mortality and stillbirth rates in Bolivia are high and birth weights are low compared with other South American countries. Most Bolivians live at altitudes of 2500 m or higher. We sought to determine the ...
Pulmonary nitric oxide in mountain dwellers
(NATURE, 2001-11-22)
Nitric oxide is synthesized in the lungs to help regulate blood flow, and its levels have been found to drop in
species native to low altitudes, including
humans, upon acute exposure to reduced
oxygen concentration1–3. ...
Patrones reproductivos en la altura : hipoxia o regulación cultural
