Abstract.
One causal model of preeclampsia (PE) postulates that

An evolutionary model for identifying genetic adaptation to high altitude
(Adv Exp Med Biol., 2006)
Abstract
Coordinated maternal/fetal responses to pregnancy are required to ensure continuous O2 delivery to the developing organism. Mammals employ distinctive reproductive strategies that afford their young an improved ...
Pulmonary hypertension in high-altitude dwellers : novel mechanisms, unsuspected predisposing factors
(Adv Exp Med Biol., 2006)
Abstract
Studies of high-altitude populations, and in particular of maladapted subgroups, may provide important insight into underlying mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of hypoxemia-related disease states in general. ...
