Haemoglobin concentration and lung diffusing capacity in man at low high altitude
(Compterendus des séances de la Société de Biologie, 1982)
Resumen. Lung diffusing capacity (DLCO) was measured using a steady state method in high (3600 m.) and sea level natives. Correlation was found between DLCO, height, age and haemoglobin concentration. Regression coefficients ...
Metahemoglobinemia de altura. Metahemoglobina y NADH diaforasas
(Sangre, 1982)
RESUMEN.
La elevación de la tasa de metahemoglobina en las grandes alturas es una de las consecuencias de la modificación metabólica provocada por la hipoxia de altura que sufre el eritrocito. Por el estudio de la evolución ...
Estudios cardiorespiratorios en la enfermedad crónica de la montaña (Síndrome de Monge)
(Revista IBBA, 1972)
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 ...
High-altitude haematology : Quechua-Aymara comparisons
(Annals of Human Biology, 1981)
Summary. Haematological studies have been carried out al various altitudes between 450 m
and 4800 m, on two separate human groups (Quechuas and Aymaras) living in South America.
Changes in the haematological parameters ...
The effects of high altitude on pulmonary hypertension of cardiopathies, at La Paz, Bolivia
(Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, 1969)
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 ...
Effects of exercise on plasma erythropoietin in natives living permanently at high altitude
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Abstract.
The effects of inspiratory hypoxia on the erythropoietin (EPO) system decisively depend on the duration of the exposure to the hypoxic environment. Whereas a stay of some hours in a hypobaric chamber leads to ...
Uptake of noradrenaline in high altitude native's heart
(EXPERIENTIA, 1977)
Summary. Uptake of 3H-noradrenaline by the heart was studied with sections of isolated atria obtained from high or lowlanders. In native highlanders, affinity for 3-Hnoradrenaline by human atria is more significant than ...
Pulmonary hypertension in high-altitude chronic hypoxia : response to nifedipine
(European Respiratory Journal, 1998-11)
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 ...
Increased incidence of preeclampsia lowers birth weight and increases intrauterine mortality at high altitude
(High Altitude Medicine & Biology, 2001)
