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 ...

Sixty percent (60%) mean hematocrit in an andean human population permanently exposed to extreme life conditions
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Located over 5435 m, La Rinconada in the
district of Puno, Peru is the highest urban centre in the
world. This altitude, at which the barometric pressure
(BP ¼ 400 mmHg), and the partial oxygen pressure
(PpO2 ...
Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels at adulthood are determined by neonatal hypoxic exposure in rats living at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: In previous work performed at sea level we
reported that exposure to neonatal hypoxia impairs ventilatory and hematological responses to chronic hypoxia later in
life. These findings supported the hypothesis ...
Erythropoietin (EPO) in human milk : potential enteral factor in high altitude hypoxia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2010-08-08)
Introduction: Erythropoietin (Epo) is a normal constituent of
human milk. At sea level, it was found that mean milk-borne
Epo concentrations are within the normal range for plasma
Epo concentrations and rise with ...
