Commentary on the consensus statement being prepared for the 6th World Congress on Mountain Medicine, Xining 2004
(Journal of Qinghai Medical College, 2005)
In, conclusion, while I agree that it is important to have a valid, cross - cultural scoring system that permits diagnosis of CMS in much the same way as does the Lake Louise system devised for AMS in the 1990s, I do not ...
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. ...
Uterine artery blood flow during pregnancy in high-altitude aymara women
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2003-02-19)
Background.
Birth weight falls with increasing altitude as the result of
intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) likely due, in turn, to lower uterine artery (UtA) blood flow. The altitude-associated birth weight decline
is ...
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: ...
High-altitude ancestry protects against IUGR and reductions in birth weight associated with high altitude and preeclampsia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
Observations consistently demonstrate diminished birth weight [BW] with ascending altitude;
however population comparisons reveal the extent of BW
reduction depends, in part, upon high-altitude ancestry.

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. ...
Rendimiento de futbolistas profesionales aclimatados y no aclimatados a la altura, a 3600 metros
(PubliCE, 2003-01-05)
Resumen.
Los partidos del Fútbol Europeo son frecuentemente jugados a nivel internacional en regiones montañosas de Sudamérica. En este estudio, fueron medidas las respuestas del ejercicio durante una ergometría en ciclo ...
Maternal adaptation to high-altitude pregnancy : an experiment of nature-a review
(Placenta, 2004)
A long and productive history of studies at high altitude has demonstrated that chronic hypoxia plays a key role in the aetiology of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and pre-eclampsia. Susceptibility to altitude-associated ...
Reduced endothelin-1 (ET-1) and elevated nitric oxide metabolites (NOX) across pregnancy among andean vs. european women at high (3100-3600 m) altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Background.
A consistent reduction in infant birth
weight occurs with ascending altitude; however multigenerational high-altitude residents [Andeans] demonstrate a degree of protection from altitude-associated
IUGR ...
High-altitude ancestry protects against hypoxia-associated reductions in fetal growth
(Archives of Disease in Childhood-Fetal and Neonatal, 2007-02-28)
Objective: The chronic hypoxia of high-altitude (>2500 m) residence has been shown to decrease birth
weight in all populations studied to date. However, multigenerational high-altitude populations appear
protected relative ...
