Resumen. Comparación entre 14 individuos normales jóvenes del sexo masculino y 20 enfermos con síndrome de Monge. Se mostró que éstos últimos tienen una superficie corporal media, una hemoglobina, volumen tidal en reposo ...

Resume. 1. A l’occasion de l’expérience chirurgicale réalisée par l’I.N.T. à La Paz, en Bolivie (3500 m d’altitude), on a constaté les résultats suivants : sur un total de 440 cas ayant subi une intervention de chirurgie ...

Abstract. Comparisons with 14 normal, younger, male native residents of La Paz showed that 20 patients with Monge’s syndrome have significantly higher mean body surface areas, hemoglobin, resting tidal volumes [VT (BTPS)], ...

Summary. This investigation concerns a comparison of hemodynamic data derived from eleven patients without cardio-pulmonary disease, living at La Paz, Bolivia, an ten patients with a variety of cardiopathies common to ...

ABSTRACT. Permanent residents at high altitude may develop excessive polycythaemia (H-Hb) and pulmonary hypertension, which often leads to cardiac failure. Inhibitors of calcium channels have been shown to reverse pulmonary ...

Background: By combining the chick embryo model with incubation at high altitude (HA), the effects of chronic hypoxia on fetal growth, fetal cardiac and aortic wall remodeling and systemic arterial blood pressure at adulthood ...

RESUME. L'hypoxie est considérée comme Ie principal facteur responsable de l'hypertension pulmonaire (H.T.P.) des résidents de haute-altitude. Dans ce travail on a étudié d'autres facteurs tels que le froid et Ia chaleur, ...

RESUMEN. Durante la última década el alcance de la investigación en la altura se ha ampliado considerablemente. Dos importantes observaciones han generado este avance; Primero, el hecho de que el edema pulmonar agudo de ...

Invasive studies suggest that healthy children living at high altitude display pulmonary hypertension, but the data to support this assumption are sparse. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by the respiratory epithelium regulates ...
