Cambios de la función plaquetaria en la altura y su prevención en patologías trombóticas, en personas de 40 a 85 años en ambos sexos en nativos de altura en la ciudad de La Paz - Bolivia
(Cuadernos del Hospital de Clínicas, 2004)
Resumen.
Pregunta de investigación
¿Existirán cambios en la función plaquetaria que previenen las patologías trombóticas en habitantes nativos de la altura?
Objetivo de estudio
Conocer si existen cambios en la función ...
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 ...
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 ...
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: ...
Protective effect of female sex hormones against pulmonary hypertension in Bolivian high altitude natives
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
There is abundant evidence that female sex hormones have protective effects in the systemic circulation in both animals and humans,
but little is known regarding their role in the regulation of the pulmonary circulation. ...
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 ...
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 ...
