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 ...
Aymara children are protected from high-altitude-induced pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of the adaptation to ambient lack of oxygen. This assumption is also
thought to hold true for high-altitude native children,
since invasive studies showed elevated pulmonary-artery
pressure ...
The role of oxygen in prenatal growth : studies in the chick embryo
(J Physiol, 2007-10-25)
The compelling evidence linking small size at birth with later cardiovascular disease has renewed
and amplified scientific and clinical interests into the determinants of fetal growth. It is accepted
that genes and ...
Offspring of preeclamptic mothers are predisposed to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2005-02-22)
Adverse events in utero may predispose to cardiovascular disease in adulthood. In preeclampsia, the diseased placenta releases circulating vasculotoxic factors
that cause maternal endothelial dysfunction. These factors ...
Permormance of altitude acclimatized and non-acclimatized professional football (soccer) players at 3,600 M
(Journal of Exercise Physiology, 2000-04-02)
European football (soccer)
matches frequently are played at the international level in mountainous regions of South America. In this study, the exercise
response during cycle ergometry and the rate of football match ...
Pulmonary-artery pressure and exhaled nitric oxide in Bolivian and caucasian high altitude dwellers
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2008)
Abstract.
There is evidence
that high altitude populations may be better protected from hypoxic pulmonary hypertension than low altitude natives, but the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. In Tibetans, ...
Patrones reproductivos en la altura : hipoxia o regulación cultural
(Rev. Arg. Antrop. Biol., 2001)
Seasonal and circadian variation in salivary testosterone in rural Bolivian men
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2009-02-19)
Abstract.
Testosterone (T) plays a key role in the increase and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density in
adult men. Life history theory predicts that environmental stress may prompt a reallocation of such investments ...
Respiratory nitric oxide and pulmonary artery pressure in children of aymara and european ancestry at high altitude*
(CHEST, 2008-11-07)
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 ...
Normal hematological values for healthy persons living at 4000 meters in Bolivia
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001)
Abstract.
Vásquez, René, and Villena, Mercedes. Normal hematological values for healthy persons living at 4000 m in Bolivia. High AU Med BioI 2:361-367, 2001.-Defining the range of normal hematocrit and ...
